Yes, this model has an automatic throttle which increases the engine revs under high loads and throttles it down under low loads to conserve fuel. This feature can be turned off.

Ours is the one with it. It works really great. Not a quiet as we would like it. But definitely gets the job done.

Not sure what automatic throttle control is but if you explain I may be able to answer your question.

Not sure about the throttle control. I was not able to use them at all. They get too tight about an inch from being all the way on. They also fall apart easy. When sliding them on the handle bars the rubber pieces would pop out. Bought the kuryakyn 6235. Twice the price but not problems

the one i bought didnt......I have had it about 8 months. I start it every 23rd of the month and put a load on it. Starts on 2nd pull every time. Made a cart to sit it on . $10 for castors from amazon, $7 for 2x6 from Lowes an 12 screws......I dont need handle. Just make sure what you buy has enough power output!!!..........that problem is yours ....not the failure of the capacity of the generator.....good luck..

YES, but you have to determine what type of installation you want, Re; automatic or manual. And for what size load you're going to be attaching to the generator.

Yes it's variable it's a twist throttle just like riding a gas powered motorcycle or scooter the more you twist it towards you the faster it goes and when you let off of it it automatically snaps back to off

i still have my brand new one that is not working....they ask me to send it to a corporated store in Miami...i am in the bahamas...I repared the first one but not this one....so I have to pay for transport to «Miami and then if it only a bad connection that I didn't find I will have to pay for the work at the shop.Hello this is a brand new generator...so I think I will have to buy another from another compagny...a tri-fuel one or gazoline one that I could change the carburator for propane with a kit...that I already did it a few times and it work good.....Pierre

Our trusty builder friend and I picked this generator out. Even tho we've had it for maybe a year, we havent had to use it but we tested it. it has electric push starter and a pull chain which is how you start it.

Nope sadly its automatic. But dont waste your money on this product the heating element doesnt keep anything melted and the motor goes out after two uses. 0 stars after only 1 month of use

I don't know and I don't care...this generator is a piece of JUNK my fuel pitcock broke and thsey tell me their is NO replacement. I only used it 2 x's

We don't know the answer. Our electrician and plumber took care of the whole installation. I know that we have an automatic switch so, if we lose power, the generator goes on automatically. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Sorry to say this unit does not have idle control. It runs at a constant 3600 RPM regardless of load. As the electrical load increases the motor loads up but remains are a relatively constant speed all the time. Only "inverter" type and some expensive non inverter types have idle control. Non inverter types are like the miller bobcat welder generators where they come to speed when the load demands and are not really supposed to be used as standby generators.

When I received the generator it would not start. The seller told me that it was not their problem and Amazon never responded to my complaint. I hired a small engine repair guy that found it was wired incorrectly which he repaired and it has been running as needed since repaired. I would recommend you buy one though a local dealer so you can take it back if there is a problem.

No. It does not, but it starts much easier than other generators I have had.

I am sorry but I can't give you an accurate answer. The generator has never been used. Actually I have never taken it out of its box. But it is still available and I hope someone can answer your question.

I just went through the manual and it doesn't mention power draw. However, the unit has an internal battery that supplies power until it runs low and then draws power from your vehicle to charge. There is a small blue/red light that displays what it is doing. During the set-up you can program the unit to shut off automatically after some period when you stop or leave the vehicle. It will automatically turn back on when you next start the vehicle. Plus, the on off button is readily accessible. This unit is so small I can't imagine it running a car battery down even if left on for a lengthy period (not programmed to auto turn off).

I'm not sure I installed one on a pruning tower which has hydraulic motors , after warm up I push the throttle all the way open . I have not messed with the engine governor.

I don't understand "throttles". The wiring is set for positive in one direction and negative in the other direction. You will have to have a switch that can reverse the polarity to make it activate in both directions.
