Works, but problems with choke

This generator works fine after it's started, but starting right now is a pain. The electronic choke has not worked since new and it doesn't appear that anything came unplugged as in the service advisory I'll be taking it in for service under warranty shortly and am hoping that will fix the problem. Also it's not quite as quiet as I hoped it would be, my igen2200 seems quieter even though they are rated the same.
Using it for my camper for occasional boondocking as well as for occasional work where no power is available or during power outages at home. So far runs my 15K BTU A/C with no problem at 50% load, noise is about what I expected. Only had it for a day but it will be used heavily this coming weekend at a NASCAR race. The fit and finish of the plastic panels does not seem to be very good but that is minor as long as there are no other issues.
Easy starting both Manually and Remotely. Very Quite.

Good Price, Quick shipping arrival. Quite running. Light weight, easy loading. Handle for easy maneuvering. Would have rather had to unit cover compared to the outlet strip. Already have several of them. Don't really need anymore.
Put in oil. Put in gas. Start. It was that simple. I had my whole summer house on it. Never went above 25% load with the heating system running. Pretty impressed. It's daily quiet.
