Yeah me too. Wish it was around when I paid over twice that for my yamahaAll the track guys I know with them have had no issues and they are substantially cheaper than the Honda or Yamaha inverters.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I realize the Champion is not as quiet as the Honda or Yamaha but I figure so long as it's a reliable unit it should be good enough for my needs at track days this coming season.
We used the 3000 watt all last year with no issues outside of it running out of fuel and I not knowing because I couldn't hear it when it was running either.
I had the 3000W champion (the nice camo-one that was on sale last year for $3XX.xx).
I don't remember running out of gas before wrapping up a day and fully re-fueling.
So fully day on the warmers at least.
Very happy with the unit - starts easily and no issues. Quieter then I expected (but not quiet like the 2000 or the Hondas).
Another good genni was the coleman powermate's (similar to the champion 2000W with the plastic sides making it quieter).
Sold it a few years back and wish I didn't (can't seem to find them anymore). Never had an issue with it other than replacing spark plug after couple seasons (of course with regular oil changes and up-keep).
What kind of run time would you get from a full tank of fuel?
I think the generators you're referring to aren't the inverter type. The one caboose is asking about is the newer bigger champion.
With 2 sets of warmers it would last all day. With attempts at 3 sets she would carry them all as long as I didn't start them all at the same time but it would run dry @ 6 hours.
Edit: 1 set 3 stage chicken hawks, 1 set Bickle Chinese, 1 set Bickle Standard
Picked one up this morning. Little thing is heavier than it looks.
