Onan 4KY F series Gen Only runs while I hold the choke open

j-d,
Thanks for the reply and the pictures to compare with. It is the left one that I have to hold. The pictures aren't exactly the same though. It's hard to tell, but mine has the choke linkage rod going to the rear (far side) of the choke. I must have made that mistake when putting it back together. I'll try to put it back on the front side tomorrow to see if helps. Hopefully that's what it is and it was just my dumb mistake and not something more serious or expensive.
