My Generator was bought in 1999 when I moved in to this house.
Most generators had no filters at that point.

So having the cheapest consumer generator made ??? I don't think so.
I just dug out my manual, turns out I was wrong about the ratings. Its
5000 run 6250 peak. Most generators today have boots over their
outlets.. Many now have electric start... many you have to buy wheel
kits... Mine does not, it's an all weather generator, It's a basic
generator... Contractor grade at the time ... no frills, just runs.
Never had a problem starting it aside from the heavy pull required.
If I weren't trying to back feed and run over 100 feet of house wiring,
I'm sure my tablesaw would run fine.

I'm glad for your little 5.5 hp engine...

I had a 5.5HP Generac engine and it had a filter. The 8000 Va Generac
generators currently on sale at TSC have a filter. You must have the
cheapest consumer grade generac made.
