Floyd,
The 80cc Champ is a good unit for the price. As I have reported many times in the past it is NOT a little brother clone of the 3,500. Different design on engine - more like the Mitsubishi.
Sound level is around 65 dBA. The 3,500 with the 196 cc engine is rated at 67 dBA.
They are like the "Little Engine that Could". Darn hard to kill one. I have the 1200 as the APU in my Volvo hauler.
There is an old saying "There is no replacement for displacement" when it comes to engines, but we now know design and efficiency have more to do with performance than how big the piston is. Quit comparing inverters by cc of the engine. HP is no longer used either. New industry rating for small engines is either torque or Kilowatts.
Exception: My 12.1 L Diesel. For that beast "There is no replacement for displacement" holds true. The 1,800 ft. lbs. of torque it puts out is awesome.
