There's a reason the makers recommend these small generators be exercised once a month. The tiny jets in the carb can get virtually to completely blocked in a few months of non-use.

Good luck in finding a rebuild kit. Don't think they are available - even after market. If the carb clogs they want to sell you a complete replacement carb.
There are previous threads on this subject. Some have installed fuel cut-off switches to allow them to run the carb dry (can be hard on the fuel pump); others have installed a "y" or "t" to flood the carb with cleaner before shutdown.
Can't explain the choke linkage issue.
