Last Fall our gen would run rough at cold startup, sometimes clear up, sometimes not. Restarting a time or two usually fixed the problem. I attributed it to a fouled spark plug & changed both last weekend. Doing a test run while in the engine room the same thing happened & I discovered it wasn't the plugs but what I assume is the auto-choke was not opening as soon as the engine spun up to normal rpm. By barely touching the choke linkage I was able to cause it to open & the gen to run smoothly. After this test I re-started & again, the choke stuck, then opened when I touched the linkage.
Do I spray some lub on the linkage or is the problem elsewhere?
