I recently purchased one of these Chinese gensets. I've noticed that there is a considerable amount of blowby (posiitive pressure with visible smoke & oily vapor) from the valve cover when I remove the breather line that goes from the valve cover to the air filter assy. Has anybody else noticed this, or removed the line to see how their engine is performing? I'm curious if I've got a defective engine - rings not seating properly, or this is common with this type of engine (JiangDong). I've got about 11 hrs on it & have taken my time breaking it in.
Mine was driping oil out the crank seal the first weekend I used it. It also has the same symptoms as yours, wet/leaking air box from blow-by. Pull your plug out and you'll probably find lots of carbon deposits. I've run mine for 5 full weekends this summer so far, so about 180 hours. And it just keeps going. I just throw a rag under it and let it do it's thing.
