Generator on half choke

As long as it's running smooth, I see no problems. Sounds like the carb may be partly fouled. If enough gas goes through it, might clean itself too. If you have any carb cleaner, running some of that through might help too. I have a leaf blower that I have to run on half choke most of the time too. It's been that way since it was almost new. Old ones you could easily adjust, new ones, not so much, so I use it that way and it's fine. Good luck down there.

It my need the choke if it is net getting enough fuel through the carb. The choke allows it to get the proper fuel/air ratio. 'd run it.

and you can thank the EPA for not being able to adjust it and fix it correctly
