All of my questions have been overlooked. It may be time for me to get the message. Hope I am not to old to learn when to hold em' and when to play em' Some really informed folks contribute to this thread and I have been privileged to access so much knowledge.

Floyd,

Your message really confuses me. I'm not sure what questions have been overlooked as many, many have been asked and many more answered.

Please do this for us. Re-ask your questions or provide a link back to them. I am sure someone will respond should I not be able to.

There is no "message"........ No one is intentionally ignoring your questions, or any body else's for that matter. It could be there is no definitive answer to some of the questions.

All of us need to keep in mind the old saying, "You can't make a silk purse out of a cow's ear."

I don't necessarily mean to imply the Chinese generators are cow's ears, but they certainly are not silk purses. They were designed to be effective, inexpensive, power sources for power outages and contractors. The fact that they became RV related is because of this forum - I doubt that Champion would have built an RV model if we had not pushed the need for the 30A outlet on these pages. These little gennys were never intended to be "hospital grade" power equipment. We have pushed them to the outer limits with our designs and imaginations. We have revealed faults that might otherwise go unnoticed. Most all of this has been shared as part of a knowledge gathering process defined in Bloom's Taxonomy.

Essentially, AVR's are going to fail, genheads will burn out, engines will leak oil, voltage may be irregular and off frequency and carburetors will gum up. It is the nature of these little beasties and those who use them and understand willingly accept the risks. If one is not willing to accept that risk, there are more expensive and technologically advanced gensets out there that can reduce those risks.
