I'm guessing you'll take pictures and post?
Yes, we'd make a good team (I was always on sports as a kid
and always a good team member).
As for the pictures, the clicking of the transfer switch
caught me offguard (i.e., sans camera), so I was only able
to get a 15 second video of the sound:

I sent the video to Generac support, but they (predictably)
said they couldn't diagnose over email and offered to send
me to an authorized dealer.
Their manual is pretty bad, and must contain errors, as the
spark plug they suggest doesn't even exist:
Champion R12YC (there is no asterisk explanation either)

Same with the oil, as the SAE340 grade doesn't exist either.

Similarly, what the heck is an "oil makeup tank"?

That would be an oil holding tank that is in addition to whatever oil
is in the engine crankcase. Some cars use that system, Harley's, etc.
