Honda EU2000i case tempature

.

I had an extension welded on my Honda muffler and Muffler guy with 40 years experience said 1" was too big and used 1/2" conduit for a 1' extension.

I neglected to get some base temperatures from generator before doing this. I

I am now concerned that it is running too warm. Could someone with an unmodified EU2000i and a temp gun give me a couple readings on the case and cooling air exhaust area, with ambient temp?

I have looked all over the net for this and am not finding it, a link to operating temps would work also.

    What would lead you to that belief?

    Mine never get more than warm to the touch even at full throttle several hours use. For example I shut them down at night and by the time I get them unplugged and unlocked they are cool enough to load into the cab of the truck to secure overnight.
