Thanks for all the kind replies. I did indeed check the usual items such as gas cap switch, oil level, fresh gas. I actually cleaned the spark arrest screen about 30 hours ago, so it's ok. It's a no spark at the plug issue. It may be a dislodged connector somewhere, I don't know I looked pretty extensively. I probably spent somewhere between 2-3 hours taking it apart and trying to pinpoint a source for the problem and basically came to my limit of time invest ment into a problem I am pretty confident I did not cause. I am officially declaring it fubared and Champion can do the autopsy if they wish.
I really liked this generator and am torn about getting it replaced for another vs trying the Honda koolaid.
