It's a gas motor, and its supposed to be a quiet unit.
When it comes to gas generators "quiet" is a relative term, the EX 800 is quiet relative to other gas generators yes, but is not quiet by any means. If you hear a rattle check the panels for a loose sections which you should be able to hand tighten with a screwdriver from either end of the unit.
SOURCE: The generator starts up then dies?
Check the oil pressure switch. It will shout you down like that if it doesn't sense oil pressure.

Honda generators are very reliable and are easy to adjust. The best way to check for proper output is to use a meter that can check cycles and voltage. Set meter to htz or freq and adjust the engine governor to 60 cycles. When the engine is turning 3600 rpm it is at max power and the generator may be producing ac voltage ranging from 115 to 125 at 60 cycles. When you draw power from the generator the engine governor will try to overcome the stress and maintain 3600 rpm. The engine must be well maintained to produce full power. Service oil, filter, plug and valve adjustment. Some engines have a spark arrester installed in the muffler that may become blocked with carbon. If engine is producing full power and voltage/amps is low then check brushes, capacitors, and/ or voltage regulator. Most problems occur when too much power is requested from rated generator. Example, trying to connect an 1800 watt air compressor to generator. The compressor may draw double the stated wattage upon starting and cycling. For longest generator life, It is best to use only 75% of rated output. On an 1800 watt generator use max wattage 1350. If you actually need to use 1800 watts then the best generator would be a 2500 watt. enjoy
SOURCE: The generator makes a very loud noise from the generator side.
hi
check the bearings,the piston and piston rings,the connecting rod

SOURCE: holnda ax 800 generator does not supply 240 volt
Your generator was not designed, nor capable of, supplying 240vac outputs. 120volt only.
