Agreed. My older 5000 was a Briggs and Stratton and very loud. I bought a pretty cheap Husky at HD 5 years ago that has a Suzuki engine in it and it is a lot quieter and 1/2 the effort to pull start it because it has valves that stay open till it starts so the compression is a lot less. Anyway, I like your idea.

"Suzuki engine", Thats interesting because I didn't know Husky was using there engines.
I know they use Subaru engines but not "Suzuki".

My bad. You are correct that it is a Subaru.
