All this is all the more reason I'll ditch the Onan and replace it with a Honda. Onans are stinky and noisy.

One thing for the future troubleshooting. The paper air filter can become oil soaked because the crankcase breather tube dumps into its intake airstream. If so, it will act like the choke is on and cause over fueling problems.

Read the plug. If you want to live with it as is and you see that the plug is more of a brown color you are pretty safe. If you were to see a black color it's an indication of a rich condition. Rich conditions can cause cylinder wash and fuel dilution. A white color could be on the lean side and cause higher temps and exhaust valve burning.

I don't mean to be a smart *ss but are you having any problems running equipment with the genny? Any problems starting it, reaching maximum output, excess fuel/oil consumption, exhaust smoke, overheating, noise, spark plug fouling, etc? I have the same unit and I can't hear yours, but, mine does change speeds/voltage slightly depending on load, altitude, temperature, etc. It has never failed to do what I ask it to do. Years ago I learned not to try to fix problems I don't have and I spend my time resolving the ones I do. Could you be expecting too much? Just asking. You have a very popular genny. It might be worthwhile to listen to others and see what they sound like before you condemn yours.
