Just a quick update to let you all know that my Champion C46540 spent a week working flawlessly out at the Imperial Sand Dunes, aka Glamis. We used it to recharge batteries, for air conditioning and for running the satellite box one night for shows that we couldn't get over the air.
I also had a new LCD television and inverter in the mix along with charging a Mac laptop and cell used for internet service. The power was clean enough that nothing ever complained. The circumstances in which it was run were again, filthy and nasty. The silt is incredibly fine and just crawls into every cranny you can imagine. The Champion started right up and ran fine with nary a second pull most times.
I did check the oil level and added before we took off. We did encounter one problem when the pull string broke. It did so right at the handle and so we simply rethreaded it through and tied it again two inches shorter.
This did make me wonder though, anyone had to replace the entire pull string on their Champion? Mine is three years old now and it probably wouldn't hurt to replace the whole thing.
