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.

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NONCORROSIVE". 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.
