Professor and other's!!
I now have the answer to my problem on previous page. I had a problem with the champion 3500/4000 stalling under load. It would run fine when no load. Today I put in new spark plug and some carb cleaner and ran ity for an hour or so and the problem was still there when I would run this grinder
After more frustration and running the grinder, I realized that the genny would only stall as I released the trigger on grinder. If I held the trigger down for ever it never quit but every time I released the trigger it would quit. I called the toll free number on top of the Champion and spoke to a great guy named Adam at ext 154. I explained to him what was going on and he instantly told me that the 15 amp grinder was not the problem however when I release the load there is a voltage spike and these champs have a safety device to protect any thing plugged in if there is a spike and shuts down genny. He said that big electric motors can cause this spike. Adam from tech told me to unhook the black wire quick connect coming from the shut off switch and it will not quit any more.Just use choke to kill it. He was right, problem went away. He advised me to only disconnect the black wire when running big electric motors. All other times keep the black wire hooked as to protect any thing from real voltage spikes. I am very pleased with CPE tech support.
