I bought a Champion 3500 and have not modded it yet, but would like to. Please post your mod. Thanks in advance.Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.It appears my problem with the new Champion 3500 is the gas cap. The Champion customer support is helping me. The odd thing is that there must be a latency in the vacuum caused starveout because I removed the cap and it still gagged. It must take some time to refill the line. I temporarily removed the rubber gasket on the cap and the gen is running great now. Just need to fix the fuel gage, which is next.Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.Overhill7 I removed the gas cap while the gen was gagging and it didn't help and I don't hear any great woosh when I remove the cap.Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.My brandnew Champion 3500 bogs down randomly under no load and under load. It was a floor model so I didn't assemble it but have tried to check for loose components. I've run it for about 6 hrs so far. Any suggestions? Also the fuel gage doesn't work, I thought I saw a post on this but haven't been able to find it. Great thread btw.
