My '93 has air bags with an air pressure regulator. The gen exhaust is through the roof about mid way back on the drivers side. The gen exhaust pipe has an "S" shaped section of flex pipe that bends to allow the gen to slide in and out. I've noticed that both of my Newells gens are quieter and smoother after they get warmed up....a characteristic of a diesel engine.
The gen in my '78 (a Kohler/Perkins) had an annoying "knocking " sound. I just thought that was typical for a diesel engine. After investigating I found that one of the bolts that hold the fuel injector in was slightly loose. After tightening it down the noise was reduced.
