  • description: Almost new dual fuel Champion generator locked up after one year. I probably overpaid for it. With any luck it can be repaired. Otherwise I might be able to take advantage of the 3 year warranty that Champion offers on their generators. Either way, this generator will run and make power again.

Making a Honda GX390 / Clone Compatible: https://youtu.be/Ykbj-CLimig I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.
