The best part of this video was "these God damned generators!". Go with that! You'll be an internet sensation!

I also tried following the directions for starting on propane at first. Like you, I eventually noticed it likes a lot of choke. I pull full strength with choke on until it sputters to life then quickly rotate the knob to run. It now starts on the 4th or 5th pull.

I had the same problem with mine bro the instructions are dumb you need to start it on choke not just slow pull but yank it like you're trying to start it with the choke on it'll start and then you can switch it to the propane setting

I just bought this unit. I might get a Honda due to reliability. You have a patience of a saint!

I wasn't able to find a Honda that ran on propane. Thanks for the comment. I too would have preferred Honda.

Thanx for mentioning the dipstick item. 99% people screw it in to test the level. Then they lay the dipstick on a board or the ground contaminating the oil. They also forget to turn on the gas valve on the tank to start. LOL. : j

Maybe purge the gas line (hose) before hooking it to the engine. Run it till you smell gas. Then, hook it To the generator.

Now that you know where the spark plug is, change that plug to a better brand, That makes a difference for these Chinese engines.

I got the Champion model number 100900 2000 watt duel fuel inverter generator and didn't have any problem with starting it on propane or gas. After priming it I set it on choke and it started on propane then set it on run. I see where they messed up in the instructions!

I appreciate you showing your challenge starting it. Makes me not want to buy it. I wish there was a lightweight propane generator with electric start!

With a loose sparkplug no generator will start! Once connected, it starts great. Electric starters add a few more components that can fail. I strongly recommend this unit.

Adding a starter and battery will make a generator too heavy.

Is it a True Sine Wave Inverter Generator? If not, it will not have sensitive Electronic Equipments last long. Thanks

I have been having a terrible time with mine. Oddly enough, when trying to run it on propane, I have to do the whole choke thing, back and forth with the dial pulling over and over and over, and when it finally does start, it starts when the dial is on the gasoline run setting. I don't understand this stupid generator. I thought it was just a fluke but, no, everytime I have finally got it started, it was on the gas setting. I have never used gas in this thing.

Frustrating. Never tried to run it on gas setting when using propane. I do know, the choke setting isn't really like an old school choke. Keep it on choke until it starts running. Then click over to propane. Call the champion support number. They are actually helpful! Keep us posted please.

Choke is always meant for starting an engine. Not priming it. That should be some basic knowledge.
