Troybilt is made by MTD and is nothing like the former company of days gone by, and the engine isn't a Honda it's a cheap Chinese clone called a Powermore. Like everything these days it's built to hit a price point with a limited life expectancy.
Honda also make's a very "cheap" China made version of their motor as I have one on a inexpensive 7000 watt Sam's club generator I purchased for about $500.00. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/black-m...prod3550002.ip

It's not nearly as quiet or as smooth and it's not even in the same league quality wise as the more expensive 7000 watt inverter generator they make that I also have for around $4000.00!!
