Once again the Champion Inverter/generator letting me down :M I purchased two of them few years back ALWAYS had issues with them I recently had one serviced again because it did not want to start (carburetor) Now they both run by them self's once I parallel them together one will trip so I cannot run microwave nor air conditioner. I spent good money on these and not once have they worked proper

Moved from Forum Technical Support

This is a throw around type generator correct? Not one built in, if so They use to sell those Titan Generators around here all the time with other tools. Compressors,trash pumps and such.. Driving around trying to unload them as a good deal, afew people bought them that I knew and they did'nt last long.. Now it seems they have jumped to this name.. Good luck with it..

Did you contact Champion Power Equipment Support?I don't own one but, based on comments on the forum, Champion seems to be building a decent product. The seem to have a growing following.They're not the Red or Blue generators but I think they get the job done.And, I've been wrong before....

Since you did not say what size they were, how you are using them, or how you store them nobody can really help you.

I've decided to store my Honda's with drained fuel tanks and drained carbs, bone dry. I want them to run right, when I need them to run, instead of worry about crud and varnish in the jets of the carbs. Especially the little Eu1000i, it's got tiny, tiny jets to clean.

Can't complain about Champion customer service because I have never needed it.
I run both of mine once per month, make sure the fuel runs out or is replaced so the carbs don't gum up and change the oil at regular intervals. Maint is your friend.
