Thank you! After hours of sweating and nothing worked, this did.
-
Thank you... did a few taps, and it cranked right up. Tried my PM cycle in the spring and it would just turnover without starting. Was preparing to tear down the carb and clean it out, fortunately I found your video prior to.

Incredible, I bought my champion 10,000 watt generator in February of 2021 brand-new. It's always started with propane but can't start it with gas. I've got other generators so I sort of forgot about it. Just watched this video today, tapped on the starter solenoid started first time, ran it for half an hour with gas that's been in it for 2 years. Thanks to this video!!!!

Thanks for this tip! Worked on my 3400 dual fuel after a few taps with a screwdriver. Never had an issue before and this vid saved me a ton of time and frustration. Not sure why tapping on the solenoid wakes it up, but hey, I’ll take it!

This 4 minute video just saved me a whole bunch of trouble ! Worked on the first try !

That solenoid lets fuel into the carb when the switch is
but cuts off fuel to the carb when the generator is off regardless of the fuel on/off valve so you need to leave the switch at the for a few seconds to allow time for the fuel to flow pass the solenoid to fill the carbs, then after the 20 seconds, press start and it should run fine. I found out the hard way that those generators need the battery to start otherwise the solenoid won't open to provide fuel -
Worked like a dream! Thank you!!!

This video saved my weekend! Wish I had found it before taking it apart!
-
Mr Better Late Than Never here... Storm hitting late afternoon today, of course it won't start. Thank you for the quick fix.

God bless you! I wish I had seen this earlier before I wasted a few hours. I bought a this exact generator for emergencies. I had it in storage for a couple of years before had to use it. Did fine with a propane tank but I couldn't get it to start with gas for the first time. Finally I saw this video and bam! worked after tapping the solenoid. Why this works or why we have to do this seems like an engineering mistake on Champion's part but I got it to work! Thanks!!

Thank you so much. I have same generator and it's never ran off gas but would work fine on Propane. It was used when I purchased it. All it took was a couple taps and it fired right up.
-
Thanks for the tip. Just got my Onan 9500df to start on gasoline using this tip.
-
Tapping on it just worked for me. Thanks much for posting the video.
-
Wow, thank you I was out here for about two hours with my new generator hooked up your video, and two seconds later had the generator started in gas mode
-
Thanks for the video. I’m having the same issue with my Westinghouse dual fuel generator. I will give this a try.
-
great man, I just did the same thing you explained with the hammer, it starts right away
-
I was setting up to take my carburetor apart...where's my hammer?! That there is the old-fashioned way of fixing things. Fixed the TV many times years ago by whapping the side of it when nothing else would bring in a clear picture.
-
Holy carp, it worked man!!! 😂 awesome dude, thanks for the video.. 😊
-
Thanks for sharing glad it worked for others, didn't work for me. Took off carburetor and cleaned all parts, reinstalled, and my POS 'Champion' will still not start via gas; fresh gas with stabilizer. Starts just fine via LPG. My WEN stuff never has had issues, multiple issues with Champion generators. Stay away in my experience. My generator has 44 hours on it FWIW.
