generator

Question

We have an Onan KY-FA/26100 generator. It starts hard, I've found that if I hold the choke closed it will start vary well. So how do I adjust the choke so I don't need to hold it closed?
It's a pain to get to the engine, to hold the choke.

Thanks,
Dusty

What is your current elevation?It's normal for Onan gennys to crank for a few seconds before firing up.  What do you mean by:  "It starts hard."Chum lee

If it worked good at one time, clean the carburetor.

I found that the choke was set way too light. Thanks a guy on another forum that works on generators, we got it fixed. Starts now in a few seconds.Dusty
