Here's a heads up for those that use a Champion generator in extremely cold weather. The crankcase vent tube runs directly into the air filter housing. There is no drain hole in the cleaner housing and the condensation will freeze up after shutting down the unit. The frozen condensation will prevent starting the next time you go to use the genny. My solution was to eliminate the ice and water from inside the air cleaner assy.,drill a 1/8" drain hole in the bottom of the housing and to remove the crankcase vent hose from the air cleaner housing during winter operation. Simply plug the hole in the cleaner housing so you can reattach for warm weather operation.
