Nice show of capabilities, I just purchased the exact one 5 min ago for my rv and camping.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I agree.

[@Thevrmonkesisters]

How’s that going?

[@lextacy2008]

Would this be good for hurricanes? I noticed the lack of plug-outs and may not run a fridge

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

No it would be to small.

[@magdalenoybarra2793]

I have a generator like that, but the Intelli gauge has no light in it, and it's not pushing any current. Do you have any suggestions for fixing the issue?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I would contact champion for sure on that.

[@oscarc.3114]

Would this support a refrigerator and oven?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I don't suppose it would. You would need to find out how much your appliances need and size a generator accordingly.

[@jedclampett631]

That would have to be an EasyBake oven 😂 ....this thing only puts out ten amps!

Tried starting my generator for a whole day. No Luck. Even though it is new cleaned the carburetor. No luck. After careful study I realized that the black screw holding the idle jet down also serves as a throttle stop. If it's backed off, once the engine fires, the governor closes the throttle but if the black screw is set wrong the throttle closes tight and shuts off air flow completely and the engine stalls. That was my case and now it runs fine. It's unforgivable that Champion writes a manual but never says anything about this fatal flaw.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

No kidding! I'm glad you caught that.

[@tonyhladun9081]

@@DIYOnTheHouse Here's a little more detail. The symptom is if you use starting fluid it will fire for a second or two and then stop. What happens is that initially the throttle is open but when the engine fires the governor closes the throttle to go to idle speed. If the stop is not properly set then the throttle closes completely and the engine instantly stalls. So here's a procedure...back off the stop screw. By hand close the throttle, hold it there and then turn the screw in until it touches the throttle lever and then give it about two more turns. After that use trial and error to find the right setting.

this generator has a hard time starting. Not impressed

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

My son uses It all the time with no problem.

clean the carb mine starts on the first pull every time

[@johnsantoro8433]

Mine is a hard start as well from a cold start. Choke it then push the throttle lever forward manually as you pull the starter rope. Mine now starts on the first pull. Hot starts are no issue.
