Predator vs Champion vs Westinghouse: Which One Starts After 6 Months?

No one's pulled the cord in your shed since spring, and tonight might be the night you find out if that matters. I went hunting for real owner records on Predator, Champion and Westinghouse generators left untouched for months, not spec sheets or showroom demos. One brand has a documented cold start after a real sit, one has a cared-for unit that still couldn't hold a start, and one has no record at all yet. I lay out what a stale carburetor and gummed-up fuel actually do during a long sit, and why a forum post from one owner still beats anything printed on a box.
