Yes, having no throttle control is definitely a disappointment. Just backing it in/out of the shed is a roar.
Its not that its a bad engine--it is definitely is a powerful brute--but its over the threshold of what I would operate early AM or late PM. I assume the 414 cc MAXX GEN model is a fair bit quieter. So far the only video I could find was for a Northern Technologies arc welder/generator. It sounded quiet but the brief clip was at idle (it gets a throttle, go figure).
LCT replied to my question on compatibility. No confirmation of fitment but they did say that the generator motor relies on the generator frame to support the muffler. If somewhere were to attempt this mod they would have to count on some additional fabrication.
If only a few clear pictures were available...

Does anyone have access to the LCT 414cc Storm Force engine mounted in a Husqvarna 1830 EXLT "Snow King" and an LCT 414cc MAXX GEN generator that can confirm if the mufflers are interchangeable? I'd take a 1 ft-lbs loss for a decent noise reduction.
