The genset runs like a top, no problems, just have to choke it manually ATM

Quote:Link it to propane and you will not need the choke
I know nothing about propane (yet) so modifying the genny is far down the list ...let me figure out if there's any propane in the tank first and secondly how to operate the oven, cooktop and fridge all of which are brand new with the cardboard packing in place.
Baby steps round here, only just figured out water system Owner for one week as of today!

C Boyd wrote on Thu, 25 March 2021 09:04I thought the choke had a 12v solenoid in it to close the choke all the way when starter is engaged then releases when started and a thermal spring takes over to open at operating temp? Most trouble I run into is it losing ground thru rusty manifold attachment. A test wire with alligator clips to test ground.
The choke does indeed have a 12v solenoid. If I'm reading the manual correctly, it's a sort of electromagnet that pulls the off as the choke as the genny warms up. I think Onan refer to it as the "thermostatic pull-off".
In my picture posted above, the pull-off and the cap it lives in is missing.
The complete automatic choke assembly is a 2 piece affair (see pic JimK sent me last week).
I need the end part and contents
what I have now is:
TIA
