58 apache, 235 engine, the generator is noisy, noticing little lids front and back, I inserted about a teaspoon of Marvel Air Tool conditioner, as I didn't have any 3-in-1 oil around, generator less noisy, but wonder if needs more or different kind of oil, it still makes noise. You can tell the noise coming from it. Your thoughts? how much oil do generators require?

using 'what's handy' isn't very good maintenance practice .... got a manual? my thought is it might be best to try the manual procedure, and if that doesn't quiet it down, replace the bearings before it dies on the road at night
