Help...
I just purchased one of these tonite. I put gas and oil (400ml) in it and it fired up after a couple of pulls but then went straight into overload mode (didn't have anything plugged in). I shut if off right away. Now when I attempt to start it the cord has a lot more resistance than it did before and it doesn't start.
I got it at costco so it's likely going back unless someone knows a quick solution.
PS: is 400ml the correct amount of oil? it says 0.4L throughout the manual but when I put 400ml in it seemed like it wanted to come out the fill port. I measured exactly 400ml and turned it over to make sure there was no oil in it to begin with.
Given all the reported problems with the 2000i, I would return it to Costco. While I don't have any firsthand experience with the Generac line of generators, Costco online has the Generac 2000/2200 inverter for $529.00, shipping included. The Generac has a 126cc engine vs the 80cc on the Champion and should be more apt to deliver on its advertised performance.
