How to videos like this is what makes youtube the best video platform 👍🏿
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!!!!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked out.
@@LittlePieceofHeavenFarm I'm gonna try it, thanks so much, fingers crossed!

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 !
Worked like a dream! Thank you!!!
Mr Better Late Than Never here... Storm hitting late afternoon today, of course it won't start. Thank you for the quick fix.
We have a deep freeze coming our way, took my generator out to make sure it's running well. All is good to go.
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.
This video saved my weekend! Wish I had found it before taking it apart!
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!!
Yes, I would agree that Champion needs to fix this issue. I’m glad the video helped you out and got it running.
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
Glad it worked out.
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.
Thanks for the video. I’m having the same issue with my Westinghouse dual fuel generator. I will give this a try.
Holy carp, it worked man!!! 😂 awesome dude, thanks for the video.. 😊
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.
Worked for me, thanks so much.
great man, I just did the same thing you explained with the hammer, it starts right away
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.
Sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you.
Mine been running great. Possible you got the lemon of the bunch.
Thanks for you comment.
@@LittlePieceofHeavenFarm just appreciate you taking the time to put this together and share. I am all about path of least resistance and had hoped it would work for me. Bummed a completely cleaned carburetor still didn't resolve my issue. At least LPG works. Thanks again for sharing.
@cdeebs05 did you ever fix it
Thanks bro saved me a big headache
I can’t believe this work, but it did!
Great video it also works on lawn tractors
Awesome
Can’t understand why that would help.The starter is working. Used to do that with my old car when it wouldn’t crank.
The diaphragm in the solenoid sometimes gets stuck in propane mode.
Just saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank
Awesome
ill try that thanx
Worked for me thanks
Glad it helped
I’m no expert, but it sounds like my lawnmower when I needed a new fuel filter. Try adding Sea Foam maybe and upgraded gas through a cycle.
Champion support says the solenoid gets stuck when not in use for long period of time.
Wouldn't this only fix if the electric start wasn't working? How about the pull start? The generator would have started regardless if that solenoid was faulty or not, right? Im just trying trouble shoot mine.
-Champion 9375/7500W
-Sit for 2 years with full tank
- Wont pull start or electric start
-Im hoping bad/old gas?
Sat for two years, I would change out the gas.
Electric or Pull start - Either way, the solenoid has to work to provide the correct fuel that you selected, Gas or LP. Sometimes the solenoid gets stuck in LP, by tapping the solenoid, it'll un-stuck the solenoid into Gas Mode, then should start in Gas Mode.
@@LittlePieceofHeavenFarm so I just went out and did the solenoid tapping. Started right up via electric start. I ran it for 10-12 minutes. Killed the run switch and went to go start it again. Now nothing. What a pain in the butt. Should the solenoid have to be tapped on every time now in order to get it to turn over?
@@TheJeepWheeler No, once tapped and starts, it should work every time you electric or pull start in Gas Mode. If you went to LP then back to gas, it could be stuck again.
When you turned it off, did you switch it back on ? Other than that, I’m not sure why it won’t continue to electric or pull start. Should stay in stuck.
@@LittlePieceofHeavenFarm maybe the wife and I will head back out later.
Yeah the ignition switch was turned back on. I'm not sure why it wouldn't turn back over 🤔
thanks for the video, i tried that and it did not work. My battery is totally dead. I tried crank starting but to no avail. I will charge the battery and see if that works. thanks again.
I found when my battery went to 6 volts, it was not enough to get things to turn over. Once I recharged it all the way up to 12 V plus, it worked fine.
I thought Champion Generator is very good quality 😮😊
They are, this was the only issue I had with mine.
Get a new solenoid check the fuel filter
The solenoid is known to get stuck when your not using the generator for awhile, at least that’s what champion support says. Fuel filter is new.

These herripl which I'm suffering from. I can't understand ur language cuz I'm arabic and I still begginer in this mantanc
.
Maybe give it a tap while running?
I don't know about that. It runs fine on propane, it's just when you want to switch to gas, I have to do the tapping thing otherwise it will not start.
