Hi Gary, great video on the champion generator. I recently contacted you to your provided contact and hoping it is still your current email. I have a specific problem with my Champion (41532) and was asking for some help. Thank you!

Are they on honda 390 , 13hp engines

This G.D. shlt vexxed me for years. I replaced, batteries, I replaced starters, I replaced solenoids, I replaced bloody everything until I stumbled across a video that said something about it. If you hold your hand over the air intake you can prevent air getting in and creating a hard to start compression and as soon as it starts take your hand off the air intake.

Internets amazing being able to find someone else experiencing the same exact thing years before you is crazy

This is what happened to my Troy Bilt...I let a friend work on my mower and it has no power. Would it be worth taking it to a mower repair shop or should I just get a new one?

Hi Gary, I have contacted you several times over the past few years regarding several generators including the Champion 41532. I own off grid property in Maine and the Champion has been flawlessly providing juice whenever needed. I did an interesting conversion which I wanted to share with you and your viewers. Since many of my appliances run on LPG I thought that it would make sense to convert the genny to LP also. I ordered a Tri Fuel carburetor from Champion (Gasoline, NG, LP) which luckily had the exact same bolt pattern. The only alteration needed was removing the choke lever from the stock carb and installing it on the Tri Fuel carb. So far it runs perfectly and I have a 150 gallon piglet tank that the gas company fills when needed.

Holy shit sat through all that and you didn't day how to drain the tank

Awesome vlog! Thank you!🇺🇸

Thank You. Exactly what I needed. Both wheels working now.

Hello, I have a Troybilt snowblower, 179cc suddenly stopped starting. Checked and oil may have been low. While working on it, oil screw was loose, so it could have been out of oil, or very low. But, I have compression. smooth turning the shaft. Could the low oil situation have caused an internal timing issue? Compression release issue? Flywheel/key is fine.

Interesting. Some models anchor the holding spring on the intermediate shaft instead of it's own special anchor point. I wonder which came first. Ariens has had a half a dozen different traction aid systems over its history. Some very short lived, some very long lived. Probably the longest lived was their manually lockable open differential which lasted from at least the '70's to the '90's. This one wouldn't be bad, but there is no way to make it low maintenance. You'd have to lube and inspect it every year to keep it operational in such a harsh operating environment.

Can you swap out the axle for a solid axle to delete the turn assist? i think its a pain and ive fixed it about 4 times but it still finds a way of coming undone. Other than that I love my 1332

well both my blowers are not spinning . That’s my excuse to stay home from work🤣

I don't know what they put in that true fuel but eventually it will loose it's ability to combust. The 2 cycle mix especially. It will not foul like ethanol fuel but it will not combust after a certain period of time. The fuel stabilizers polymerize in the carburetor worse than if you had just left the gasoline in there. It makes an absolute mess and stinks rancid. I have stopped telling people to use it.

Thank you. I removed both bolts on the carburetor (actually, just the bottom/middle one), and then I couldn't tighten it back on. I searched around and the Toro manual says to NOT remove it. What do I do? Does it just not need to be tightened down much? I feel like it tightens for a bit but then briefly gets easier to turn, like it feels stripped.

perfect video. quick and informative. i did this very thing for a customer a few years ago, now he says it's doing it again. couldn't remember what exactly i did so this video helped refresh my memory before i drive out there to work on it.

Thanks!!

How can I remove the shaft or mechanism to remove rust from the shaft? Mine must be rusted open since the left wheel won’t engage and the lever won’t move when I squeeze it.

Thank you! The issue I had was that I took the wheel off to have a flat fixed, not realizing there’s a pin in the axle that fell out and I didn’t realize.

I bought a used model of the same type in your video, however the trigger handle is completely missing along with the associated spring. do you know where i could find the parts to reassemble the system?

Is there a way to tell which mode you are in while using it? Or do you just have to realize it's pulling to one side / isn't turning easily?

Thanks a ton for this! I recently got a free, but non-running and very neglected Deluxe 28. After getting it running and going over everything, it was obvious it had rarely if ever been serviced, so both wheels were rusted on, then the sleeve with the brass bushings (called the "axle clicker" in the parts list) was seized onto the axle. I even managed to snap the lock arm lever while...enthusiastically getting the right side wheel off...but I did eventually get both wheels off. That differential/clicker mechanism was Greek to me until I saw your video. The part starting at 1:57 showed exactly how it's supposed to work. Fast forward a day, after much more struggling, I got the sleeve removed, cleaned all the rust off, braised the lock arm lever back together, packed everything back together with Lucas red and tacky grease. Now this old beast works like new! I'd have never figured out how that mechanism worked without your video!

Hi. I bought this same generator and it works great...except the remote start. It has never worked. Remote does nothing. The pairing switch and light also have never worked. I called it in and they sent me a new remote and a module. I tried to program the new remote and it does nothing as well. Assuming it's the module. Will change this out, based on your excellent video. If there is anything else you can think of, please advise. Many thanks!

I just ordered some of that Sta-Bil pump protection for my pressure washer. Never knew there was such a product. Thanks!

Thanks for the video, I believe this is the problem with my craftsman mower.

Brake &stranded engine blown head gaskets & camshafts .😤😢😢

If you don't want to tear engine down... here's a *QUICK STARTING FIX for broken compression release mechanism on cam. Remove air filter. Hold a piece of rubber over intake so the engine can not suck in air to compress.Starter should spin the engine past the compression stroke because there's NO AIR being compressed & it should start/fire next time around.... then quickly remove peice of rubber. A SMALL squirt of starter fluid before blocking intake with rubber MAY help too... but not neccessarily* Video as shown here: "Briggs & Stratton Compression releif fix" th-cam.com/video/ggV0wS6VMSs/w-d-xo.html

test and fix

Thank You!

On my Deluxe 30, when the lever is activated, the cable turns the inner ratchet collar but the outer piece turns with it, in unison. What is supposed to prevent the outer piece from turning when the inner one does?

Thanks Gary. I opened up the back and lubed the mechanism, following your example. It's -20 celsius today, so once I fired 'er up, I lifted up the back to get the wheels spinning and grease mixed in there. Seemed to do the trick. Thanks for putting this up.

Coming back with a follow up a comment because the repair did not work on mine. After some research I realized that the problem was the short left axel. So I had to replace with part AP52101100 "Axle, clicker w/bushings". Anyway, video was really useful and help me to fin the issue, so thanks again.

Had a similar problem and your video was really helpful! Many thanks👌

I wonder why no mention of using Sta-Bil or similar product in your generator. For storage purposes.

Gary . . . simple question. I just bought new wheels with tires for my Ariens EFI. The order was separate so I'm waiting for the second wheel. The wheel that I received is correct. However, there is an arrow on the sidewall of the tire. That arrow points counterclockwise which makes sense to me. Correct me if I am wrong. This is a left wheel and the arrow should point in forward direction, correct?

Thank you

This helped mine engage and disengage perfectly now except when locked it won’t stay locked and when and pressure is put on wheel I can see it trying to separate and pushes large spring on axle back so it won’t lock fully. Any suggestions?

Another thing to note, as I've run into this problem on occasion with my Ariens Deluxe 28, is that sometimes the outer piece on the outer grooved piece in the trigger lock system can shift off of the tensioned bar on the secondary shaft, which you can see directly above it at 2:48. The two pieces, in this circumstance will not separate to activate/deactivate the trigger lock system.

i had this problem and originally i thought it was this lock assembly but it turned out to just be the Woodruff key on the wheel sheered off, so just make sure to check that because i had someone come look at it and all it was is that key sheered. Just take the wheel off and you will see it, doesnt hurt to look!

valves tighter or looser......

Thank you so much. Solved the problem for mine.

Isn't it better to have both wheels driving it?

This was my first time working on a snow blower. Your video, and others, helped me replace all the belts, remove the wheels, lube everything, replace sheer bolts, adjust cables... But the biggest mystery was the differential. It was not working. So after about 15 minutes of examining the mechanism and reviewing your video, I discovered the "locking" mechanism (spring loaded arm shown on left side) of the ratchet was not in the right position. It was rotated approximately 180-degrees from where it should have been. It appears the Pros at the shop did not assemble it correctly. Thanks for the help.

Something else to note when I was adjusting mine. If the cable is too tight when you adjust it, it won’t allow enough tension on the return spring making the locking mechanism not work correctly. I over adjusted the cable on mine and the diff lock would work 30% of the time. Loosened the cable a few turns and now works great. Make sure everything is nice and clean/lubed up. Thanks for the great video and hope this helps someone!

What’s the part number sir

Part number please

They are made to break. I won’t buy one!
