I've heard (no pun intended) that the auxiliary gas powered generators that are sold for use in a motor home park are fairly quiet. But they would also be a bit more than I paid for mine.

The original pipe attached between the motor and the so called muffler is quite small. A larger diameter attachment would allow the gas to expand while it traveled a distance greater than the original pipe.

I'll have to check the engine size but I'm sure that most motorcycle mufflers for that size would be ok. After all a motorcycle muffler has to handle an engine that could run at faster speeds than the generator.

So far I start it up once in the winter and once in the summer for a half an hour.

It’s a 4 stroke engine. Any thoughts, one way or the other, on using one of the synthetic super lube oils?

Sound level meters. Any one have one to lend? I could do a before and after. Amazon has one for $30, but I wouldn't have a use for it afterwards.
