I returned home from work Friday to find my new Champion C46540 sitting im my driveway. Upon opening it I found a lot of broken black plastic in the box. The air cleaner cover and the back cover on the control panel were broken. While I can see how the air box cover broke, I couldn't imagine how the back cover on the control panel broke. So I took a close look at the unit, and I discovered that the mount closest to the oil drain was bent to the point it contacted and chipped the engine case below the drain plug. Do you think this damage warrants a return of the unit or will it be OK to run? It will be a royal PIA to return as I do not have any retailers in my area and it was a Parts America purchase. Since the box and frame were in perfect condition, I think this had to be damaged during assembly.
Well I came to my senses and called Champion. I can return it to any Advance Auto Parts store in my area and they will ship me a new one. This is more than fair. It is strange that I cannot purchase one there. Now that I think of it, I looked but there were no "L" brackets to remove. It must have been dumped on the corner where the motor mount is bent. Quite an impact!
