I don't have one, but isn't there supposed to be a couple of inches at the bottom and the back supposed to be open?
And second, I don't like the fact the heat off of the motor exits the back of the motor and together with muffler heat pass under the gas tank and exits right over the air intake for the generator head. Extended runs have made those fins pretty warm. The Hondas force all the heat produced by the motor out the side away from the generator head. If these are gx200 knock offs and parts can be gotten any where, perhaps replacing the heat shield from a Honda.
I was impressed with Champion tech support. They talked me through troubleshooting and sent me the parts I needed.
