I use mine mainly in the desert so far it has ran constantly in 100 deg heat from fri til sunday non stop and alot of hours at the sand dunes.Last weekend i had it runnin most of the day it was windy also.Ran fine til iturned it off next morn i go to start it struggled right away.Tried to figure out what was wrong(acted like it was under a very heavy load)Fiddled around found that the throttle blade in the carb was stuck you can see from the top of carb where the springs connect to it.
Shot some parts cleaner cleaned up the outside part got it to move fired up gen still struggled throttle stuck again.Took off filter very little sand made it thru got it unstuck for good but it struggled again looked at my brothers closely found that the smaller spring came off on the oppostie side(away from carb)put it back in and so far it seems that was part of the problem combined with the stuck throttle.I usually place it on top of a piece of plywood so it aint directly on the sand.Guess next time it will have to stay in the bed of the truck.I have never had this prob before but then agan i have only owned this gen since early august.
I guess when the throttle got stuck and the other part where the spring connects must have moved and caused the spring to fall out(it is a very thin spring too).
Anyhow something to keep an eye on besides that i am still happy with it and mine seems a lil quiter than my brothers and my uncles not by much but slightly noticable.
