OK, guys, thanks for the advice. I disconnected the oil level yellow wire. No Help.
Then disconnected the black wire that goes to the on/off switch and the "Isolation" thingy. My manual does not have an "Isolation" thingy, but the black wire goes to an "over-voltage protection module", which has the three wires your link shows and two more. The internals are not shown on the wiring diagram in my manual.
Any, the engine started on one pull. During all of this, my wife had been on hold with Champion since they opened, and finally got a person. He said that if I had a weak spark and disconnecting the black wire made it work OK, the "isolation diode" was probably bad. I guess that is the "Isolation" on the diagram you linked.
No, they didn't have any in stock, and no, they had no idea when they would. Months, perhaps.
So now, I am using it and shut off the fuel to stop it.
He also said to keep a sharp eye on the voltage, and shut down immediately if it rises. What fun.
I am a little underwhelmed at their warranty. It amounts to, "Ya gotta fix it yourself, but we will help you and maybe send you a part, if and when it comes in from China. I inquired as to the possibility of
I will ground out the oil level switch as a test just to be sure it works, as it seems to have an oil consumption situation. The CPE guy said he had never heard of high oil consumption. Maybe the rings just need to seat.
