**UPDATE**

I bought the generator.
Met the guy at his house.

Started first pull from cold. ran pretty good and i bought it.

Got it home, tightened up the intake manifold and changed the spark plug.
Ran even better.

Took to the track for a 3 day weekend and ran it about 18 hours a day.
Uses about 5 gallons every 10 hours.

Very loud.

Last week I added a full sized muffler off of a BMW.

Turns out, the exhaust on the generator motor has 3/4 pipe thread, so I set up a new exhaust with a union and muffler hangers welded to the chassis.
It is able to move with the motor, can be quickly disassembled for travel and the exhaust is *silent*.

The actual motor and generator motor turning is the only noise left.
Not bad at all.

The muffler was free and the pipe fitting were $20.
I spent a few minutes welding the pipe to the muffler inlet.
