Your Buddy missed-out on the Canadian Tire sale last weekend. Champion 4500 generators were being cleared at $399 (three days only). As you know, Lowe's rotates sales on Firman generators every few weeks. Unless the need is urgent, it may be worth it to wait a bit before making a purchase.

Sorry to hear about the main inverter board. I suspect that Firman will replace it under warranty. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Jumping jacks, good, jumping to conclusions not so much...in the light of day I find the throttle solenoid wiring damaged. conductors exposed and I suspect shorting to the frame. Don't know if it was from vibration, or maybe a mouse chewed on. Strange.

They gave me no grief, were ready to send me a new solenoid wiring assy. I told them I would fix up the wiring and that may be the extent of the problem.

Sounds good indeed and very nice to hear. I have purchased two items off Amazon that were defective and pronto reply and reply. Some companies get it and others fight to save a nickel but loose a dollar. no need or money for another genny but will not hesitate to obtain a firman based on this. cheers
