I write this from the cabin with some sadness as it seems my little champion inverter has died on me with just a little over 153 hours on the clock.
When I got up to the cabin this weekend. It fired up for about a minute, then it ran rough and stopped and won't start now.
I spent the better part of a couple of hours taking her apart and determing fuel and flow was ok and that it appears to be an electrical problem, no spark. Not having my multimeter with me, all I could do is visually verify that I had enough oil, spark plug/wire seemed ok, and all the electrical connections appeared intact.
Back to Costco it will go.
I have been running my champion 3k non inverted genny for the last 36 hour. Gosh that generator with close to 800 hours is a real reliability champ. I just wish it was not so much louder and thirstier the inverter.
I definitely see another 2k inverter in my future just not too sure it's going to be a champion as I am obviously disapointed with my inverter's early demise.
