No, but you seem to be.
You obviously havent listened to the construction involved. You've got a mind set on the idea that this is an enclosed attached garage to the house with open airflow into the house. It's not. I never said it was either. You *assumed* too much and didnt listen.
If it had airflow to the house, I wouldnt have the heating problem in winter.
Am I the only one that sees problems with this? Like with a normal generator bought as a unit, isn't there a better governor mechanism that keeps the speed more constant as opposed to what you will get with a bolt together approach?
Am I the only one that sees problems with this approach? Like doesn't a normal generator unit have a more precise governor mechanism to keep the speed/freq constant? And won't a 16HP engine use a hell of a lot more gas than an engine correctly sized for a 5500 watt generator?
You are right the govenor wont keep a steady rpm when loading and unloading he is going to have big swings that can damage things, cheap gens often go from 125 to 100 under full load, my generac keeps it near to 2 v with electronics and Honda EUs do maybe 1v
CO is a bit heavier than air. If the atrium was only open at the top the result was to be expected.
I'd not be too concerned. Doing this after being warned of the risk serves to improve the gene pool.

CO is slightly lighter than air (insignificantly so). CO is 28 g/mol. Air is (roughly) an 80/20 mixute of N2 (28 g/mol) and O2 (32 g/mol).
I ran my generator 10ft from my back door since that is how long my connect cable was and registered CO in the house, if the garage is attached its a bad idea to run one in a garage.
