Seems the focus is changing. Or maybe not? The NEW Champions are not what 'old heads' found to be reliably simple. Most any simple wrench and some old wire could get you going. To stop, shut her down. ~ Now, these new fangled inverter gensets have come along. Trying to run on corn oil that I'm pretty sure the old Ford would have done better trying to put put. They also ran pretty good on 'drip gas' right out of the oil patch. 100 persent Prue stuff. Well if truth were known, the new Champ would do ok with that straight 'drip gas'. I read on another thread, this ethanol is destroying some rubber washers, etc, in our engines. Now, is this progress? Are these new Champion small engines, progress? Got to work them over while in the parking lot. And the electronics, what a fright. Some smoke, right out of the box while trying to charge the batts. Others freeze up with 150 hours use. Sync, using two, well that is another question? Just give me a break, just send me back to the 'Clinton' erea. Ford maybe?
Prof, you still got that old one in de barn? May be time to get her out?
