If the exhaust pipe intake in the out building isn't near the exhaust discharge of the generator, it might help to reroute it to catch the exhaust as it leaves the gen's exhaust discharge point. An inline fan mounted as far away from the exhaust pipe intake (to reduce the temperature of the gases the fan is exposed to) could also help.

The exhaust outlet is attached directly to the muffler of the unit with exhaust flex pipe to galvanize pipe.
2 sides of the walls have a 4x16 inch wide opening at the top that I fill with foam pads that I can remove depending on heat and wind conditions, Basically the only time I go in is to fuel and check oil
I do appreciate all the replies

CO is a quiet way to die in your sleep. Never take chances.

I don't particularly like the CO devices because they are unreliable. (I call them an advertising gimmick and a false sense of safety.)

I hope your 35ft line to the house is at least a 6ga. If not, you are dropping a lot of Amperage and that risks burning up electrical devices and refrigerator/freezer compressors.

Reference the national electric code or talk to a certified electrician. There are a lot of things companies don't tell you about using a generator.

As for the why send it to a warranty repair. The box store just sell or exchange units, they do not repair anything.
