I have the DuroPower 3500ES with the foam-lined OEM enclosure panels, Hardibacker inner liner panels, header-muffler-exhaust wrapped and now enclosed in the Professor's fiberglass-insulated aluminum jacket mod. It's getting pretty darned quiet, so of course, the noise on the engine end is more noticeable.
I "think" I either hear (or imagine) a slight "rattle" ... not sure if this is the infamous plastic fan on the flywheel or not. I removed the recoil starter and just poked on the fan (engine not running, of course!) - it appears solid, no slop or wiggle or anything.
Question to those who have done the RTV silicone "fix": Does the fan appear/feel "solid" when inspected statically, or is there some apparent looseness before the fix? (I don't want to "fix" something if it isn't "broke"!)
Regards,
John
