Generator quieting
I have a Honda 3000 EM, I am looking for some ideas to quiet it down. Anyone had success with this, want to share some ideas?

Keeping the intake and exhaust air is the key, and makes a big difference. Like I said I can see from my tinkering how you would not experience any heat issues.
In my experiments without the fans my generator runs too hot. Air temp in the intake side looks reasonable but temps taken on the gen itself rise significantly. Putting a hand on the case and saying is warm to the touch is 105°! turning the fans off and it quickly goes to 120°
I don't know, maybe my fan is not performing up to par, possibly I am way off on my design. But I am not running this in the box without the fans and may even go for a larger one, I seem to be borderline now.
Many thanks Jim
