Yes, original generator. Yes it is loud, LOTS louder than a Honda. We have camped near people with Honda's. Of course we have camped near people with Champions and if you think ours is loud, it is micro-quiet compared to one of those.
Ours only has about 70 hours on it because we don't use it much, even though we boondock. Have mostly 12 volt stuff and turn it on only for a couple of hours at a time to microwave or to charge our extra batteries.
We had to replace the carburetor because it was so gummed up when we bought ours. We try to remember to exercise it once a month now. I have blown out the exhaust system, changed the air filter, bought a new spark plug but they apparently only have to be changed at 150 hours--oil change--regular maintenance.
Had trouble with it at 10,000 ft. Will have to figure out the altitude adjustment for Colorado. It is a nice to have item. But we enjoy quiet by not using it much.
