Well Prof,
A number of AVR failures has not included the Champion C46540 in the genhouse. Been overheated many times, tho' a record was not logged. As for the cause, I do believe, if there was a 'known', we might avoid a repeat. Not saying the three possible causes you list should not be included in the 'caution list'. I refuse to discontinue my quest for a cheap fix to the noise issue. The 3500w Chinese open frame Gensets are, to me, a real value buy. Champion seems to be the high volume leader and with the new Models, well kudos. But, there are others with good reports. Some with AVR failures. I will not allow those failures to be my worst enemy. Noise is the enemy. Near a victory with my latest semi-enclosure. I remain convinced something can be added to aid in the quest for sound lowering. Maybe a SuperGen/Gentent? I do like Yellow and Black.:)
