Is your Champion 42431 also a rebranded product? I believe that several different Chinese manufacturing companies ship generators and generator parts under the Champion brand.
No, the 42431 is a Champion product. I think the little 1000w 2-stroke and the 1000w inverter are the only Champions that are re-branded. I've seen that 2-stroke unit all over under a bunch of different names.
I'm pretty sure all the other Champion generators (and probably the pumps and other things they sell) are built for Champion by Yangzhou Best Machinery & Electric Corp. in China to Champion's specs.
And for all I know, the 2-stroke and the 1000w inverter are built by YZ Best as well. Which would legitimately make them Champion products since Champion and YZ Best are partners.
