I picked up the new coach n Saturday. When I was doing the walk through with the seller he started the generator on the and manually manipulated the throttle. He said that it has been difficult to start. On a stop on the way home, I tried to start the Onan from the inside switch. It wouldn't start. It was flooded. Yesterday I replaced the spark plugs. I was able to start it at the outside switch, but I did have to hold the choke open to get it going. It runs well once it is started.

Today I am going adjust the mixture according to the manual. I also am planning to upgrade to a Pertronix ignition soon. Let me know if you think there are any other adjustments that I should look at doing.

Is there any adjustment that I should do to the choke?

Thanks for the help!
