Geof, this choke I am referring to on the newer generator is first, in a weird location. One has to reach behind and to the left of the generator and instead of this being an external operation, the choke is like a very small rounded pipe with a loop on the end in which to stick a finger or thum . this loop allows the operator to push in or pull out the choke..Maybe it was designed to be a stiffer operation of moving this choke , but being a bit parynoid and knowing the chocke seems to be a lightweight metal I want to lube it so it can slide and out a lot easier.. my previous generator just had an external lever which you moved left or right and it was right in the front. the way this works is , when cold you reach back behind the left end of the generator and pull out the choke, while with the right hand turning the key to start. once it begins running then slowly slide the choke back in. a really nice set up.Lee
