I plan to mount a 30 amp receptacle to the outside of the box, bringing the wiring from the backside of the panel on the generator. I'll probably use a deflector for the exhaust to deflect it downward or add an extension to the muffler to get it outside of the enclosure.
I'd still like to somehow isolate the exhaust system with sheet metal to segregate that air and expedite it's removal from the enclosure. I'm thinking of a shroud around the exhaust with a large muffin fan from a duct to force that heat source from the enclosure rather than depend on convection to remove it. It would also keep that heat from the generator wiring as well. A small nimh battery pack could provide power for the fan as well as the overtemp circuit if installed.
As for the recoil starter, a bit of added rope and an aircraft pulley mounted on a bracket will allow for starting.
