Nice mid-size generator. Change the Spark plug.

I bought this last year during a stormy season. I have a large whole house gen but not an auto transfer, so I have to set it up, connect, etc. But when power goes out at 3 am, all you really need is this gen for the bedroom AC and a couple of lights. Everything else can wait till daylight.
But here's the thing: Change the spark plug. Can't remember when you did? Change it. You think it was two months ago? Change it. Just change it.
Plus see the Youtube video for the auto choke. Mine functions without having to tear into the front panel, but its very common for the connector to come loose. Not a big deal.
I received my iGen4500 today and it is everything as advertised. A quite unit as what I wanted for using while boondock camping. Runs all appliances including a 15k AC unit, could barely hear unit inside travel trailer even running at 75%. Very Pleased.
Bought this less than a year ago and used maybe 4 times after following the break-in instructions then just quit and wouldn't start. Customer Service believes the "TCI" needs replaced and is sending it to me. We'll see how that goes but so far I'm happy with the service.
