There is a known problem and I had read about it so I was aware of it with the choke. Sure enough when it arrived and I put the battery and oil in then tried to start it. It would not start!! After I took the sides off and put the wire clip back on it fired right up and runs great!!
Just arrived today. Straight forward start up instructions with adding oil and gasoline. Some confusion on the sticker about the on/off switch. Would not start manually or initially with electric start. Discovered it worked fine when the engine panel removed. Tried 3 times reattaching the panel cover with same results. Will talk to technical support when they are available.
A GOOD PRODUCT. I use it to power shears for my wool goats and dog wool production, no problem. Easily powers the cattle prods I use on the grandkids too.
I just bought this and the setup and startup was easy. It started right up. I tested it on our camper and power tools. Ran great with plenty of power. I bought this unit because of the good reviews, price and how quiet it was supposed to be. It was all of that. Can't wait to take it out camping
I bought the iGen4500 after returning 2 Generac iQ3500. This machine is light years ahead of what Generac is selling, which in my opinion is junk. So happy with this purchase and would highly recommend the iGen4500. More power, more reliability.
When I first started it up it ran ruff, had and overload light on and would not idle up. I looked on YouTube and found a common problem. The electric choke plug comes unplugged. I fixed that and seams to run just fine now.
