Mine died from brushes , I guess catching fire, and that was precipitated by an oil leak on the upper oil hose. The crimp-on fitting was allowing oil to bypass the clamp, spray on the engine and generator head. There is vent hole right on the top of generator head in a perfect place below the oil tube/air intake to breath in the oil and send it through the generator head. Just lovely.
If yours is still working, I’ll send you a photo and a note to make a correction to the oil line.
