Still not clear on the choke aspect. Assuming you leave it on and the battery does not run down meanwhile, you can use the fob to start it wirelessly.
However, recoil starts with the gens I am used to have a choke with a lever you slide over once it warms up a bit after getting going.
How is this achieved with wireless remote start gens like the Chanp 3500 linked in the OP?
Thanks.
I have the same 3500W model the OP referenced.
When starting remotely the choke is actuated by a stepper motor similar to the throttle. It's all automatic.
When starting at the panel either with the electric starter or manually pulling the cord, there is a red "Choke" button on the panel that must be pressed in. Once the engine starts you must press the red button again to open the choke.
