Powered Generator
To start a gas powered generator does the choke need to be on or off?
All the directions said was to:
1. turn on gas
2. switch the generator to on
3. adjust choke
4. Pull firmly on chord.
So I was a bit confused.
Read the instructions.
Typically, the choke is full on in the Winter and either full or almost full on in the Summer. If the engine is already at operating temperature, the choke may be unnecessary, any time of year.
Additionally, it is often necessary to prime the engine with the prime button. This is especially true in Winter. Again, the instructions are your best source since each engine is different.
P.S. Those are pretty poor instructions that came with the unit. Of course, that is why you are asking the question 
The purpose of the choke is to make the gas/air mixture richer. That means a higher percentage of gas in the mix than normal. A cold engine needs that richer mixture to start and to run.
You do need to reduce the amount of choke once the engine starts, but you certainly do NOT turn it off, just down a bit. As the engine warms up, you reduce the amount of choke even more.
This will vary, depending on the temperature. Engines run differently at zero degrees F than they run at 100 degrees F.
It the engine sputters when you reduce the choke, you reduced it too much, too fast. If you do not reduce it enough, you may get black smoke. If you get black smoke, it almost always means that you have too much choke, reduce it.
Also, when the load increases, an engine that is not warmed up enough will need a richer mixture or it may stall. Once warm, it should be best to have no choke on.
