Well s*** happens. I have not the slighest idea about what is inside the AVR. I had one go out on an OEM Onan with less than three hundred hours. There have been numerous AVR failures on the 3500w Chinese gensets reported.
Never say never. Or, tried and proven.:) Just the other day, I went out the the genhouse to work on yet another enclosure mod' and discovered I have a oil leak. What's next?
One comment, my thinking is the opening to the genhead can be off set.
Just today I built out of hardboard (using the cover for a templete) a duct that will do just that. Got to make noise turn a corner. Must seperate cool incoming air (to the genhead) from the engine fan, air blowing out the genhead end. This is the most difficult issue to deal with in building any enclosure. My efforts have covered a three year span.

John,
I'll not add any fans for now. Maybe you are saying the PC/server fans may have stopped running and impeded the air flow?? Or just impeded the air flow, period. Hey John, your talents and skills show well with the fabrication of the vent. I believe your home built flying machine was easy on the eyes and was a winner. Please keep us updated with all future developments with the retro DuroPower project.
