Researching gens and checking parts. Durostar and Duromax gens are the same company and models are very close to identical with mostly cosmetic differences. A Durostar 5000w has the same 224cc engine as a Duromaxr 5500w. This is advertised and parts are obviously the same. But, the alternator brushes, fan, alt casing, and avr parts are also the same despite one being advertised as 5000w and the other 5500w. Could the 5000w actually be a 5500w gen? Or, the 5500w gen really be a 5000w gen? hahaha
If both gens are spinning at the spec'd 3600rpms, and using the same alternator parts, I dont understand how the running/peak watts could be different?
Also, looking at the next size smaller 4850w Durostar/Duromax gens the alternator parts and engines are different then the 5000w and 5500w gens.
