You all helped me to get this Onan 6k genset running several months ago and I am very thankful. The carb has now been rebuilt by the good folks at Walbro and a new board will soon be ordered from Applied. (I am still jumpering it in the meantime.) But one issue still seems to be lingering which I have now gotten around to exploring that involves the choke. It keeps wanting to close prematurely and choke out the engine. It was around the freezing mark today but the Onan started right up and after about 5 minutes of holding the choke open manually I was finally able to ease it back and it would run under it's own power. I shut it down for 20 minutes and started it up again and shot this video of it doing it again.

Do I need to adjust the choke cable closer up on the wire or is there something sticking in the throttle and keeping it from moving the auto choke correctly?
