Champion 2000 w Dual Fuel Generator
Any Champion Generator owners out there that can answer this.. My other generator is a Yamaha 2000IS and when I wasn't going to use it for awhile, I just shut the fuel valve off and let the carburetor...

Not sure of your exact model, but my Champion 2K model 100565 gas only, has a setting on control knob to run carb dry. It also has a drain, with hose out the bottom, if you'd rather empty carb that way.

Thank you for the response.. my generator does not have the run out of fuel setting on the switch..SO I just pop the cover, and open the drain screw on the carburetor and put the drain hose is a cup to drain the machine. I thought there would be an easier way such as what you have or my Yamaha generator has..
Have some fuel line between the tank and carb?
Simple enough, add a shut off. That is what I would do.
Found HERE for $10..
You can also check to see what the tank connection size is and if it is threaded.. If threaded, they do make shutoff valves for tanks you can replace the existing fitting with.
If it's an open frame generator, this works fine.
If it's your typical inverter generator, you still have to pull panels to get to your new shut off valve...at that point, it's just as easy to drain the bowl directly which is more effective.
