I have an electric start Champion 3400W inverter model 100261. It was delivered with a dead battery as well. I called Champion and had a new battery on my front porch in 2 days. Overall I'm quite impressive with it, but there are a few things I don't like.
The wheels are small with very little clearance. It rolls well on pavement. Once you get it off pavement you have to drag it through the grass due to low bottom clearance.
The small wheels are recessed in wheel wells. It's stylish in design but causes issues in practice. While dragging it off pavement the wheel wells collect leaves and twigs to the point where they get clogged and stop rolling. This makes it even harder to drag around in the grass. I have to push it backwards to clear the debris.
It's a major disassembly process to remove the carburator compared to their open frame models. I dry the tank and carb for long term storage. I need to rethink this strategy for the inverter model.
I haven't tried to start it without a battery. I'll test that next time I pull it out of storage and fuel it up again.
