Would not start. Automatic choke not working. Watched a video from 2018 showing how to fix it. Not enough time to find a Westinghouse repair shop so I fixed it myself. 2018! Once you get it running it is fantastic.

Little bit noisier than my Honda, but not objectionable. I have to run it in the ECO mode when not running the air conditioner

compact with plenty of power generation

overall the simplicity of design, ease of mobility and yet formidable power supply allows this generator to be a far superior option to the old generator we had. set up was straightforward, tho overflow of oil fill seemed to occur too easily. one drawback was that we had to open up the chasis to access the choke, which was required to get the generator to start the first time. the choke should be adjustable from outside panel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't work out of the box

Followed the manual for battery, oil and fuel setup. Started and it ran rough. Not wanting to tinker with a new device, I called customer support 7 days ago, haven't heard anything back. Rough running in their manual could be too much oil or lack of a high altitude kit. Then I read the comments...and lo and behold the electric choke cable was the culprit. You don't have to take the side off to see if yours is loose or like mine bent off the pins. You can look in the vent holes beneath the pull cord with a flashlight and see if yours is off or bent. I removed the bolts around the side, and the screws along the front and back faceplates, note* there is one underneath the rubber around the gas cap, those are all under little rubber caps. The pull cord stays in place and the panel can be moved to see what you are doing. Reconnected the plug for the choke, hot glued it in place and put it back together. It functions fine now.
