Is this electric start? The CH5 at home depot and lowes are both electric start. Jus wondering if it's an option or standard

The electric start on mine is powered by plugging in to 120 AC. It's a Animal, but I've been able to pull start it. Not hard to pull, I think the electric start is a good option in case it gets stubborn i.e. bad gas from long term storage. enjoy!

Mine is easy to start. Do you not have the instructions on the small list of how to start? Do not hold the hand throttle down when starting, it could be dangerous especially if you are not used to machines like this. I guess everyone has told you the switch is waterproof but hard to read. We just remember it's on when pressed toward the motor. Off when pressed toward the outside edge of the machine. Mine's great and I have a big garden.

It is the LTC 208cc, 6.5HP engine with electric start. Usually pull starter is so easy and starts first time. LTC (Liquid Combustion Technologies) is an American Corporation and their engines are produced in China (as are most small gasoline engines these days, even the ones with familiar names .. check it out). The engine is light weight but powerful. Quality seems high. Quick, easy start and efficient. I had a small problem with mine and support and parts were very fast and good to work with. I am very satisfied with LCT so far. Have owned Tecumseh and B&S before and LCT measures up nicely. In fact, fit and finish of the engine itself may even be better than the name engines.

double check the pins on the plug. 5 pin i think is DC (has a starter) if it is a kick start you need the AC version

You can find the starter model number on Sears website, then look it up on Amazon. I saved $150 by buying it on Amazon.com. Or you can look at the model number on the starter itself. RogerG

Yes! That is why I bought it. It also has pull start if needed. Great product!

Yes there is a button to push to start. There is a cord in case there is something wrong with the starter. FYI I have used the cord to start & it was very easy & fired up on first pull

No it is not electric start, it has a pull cord that is pretty easy to use, and the generator only needs two to three pulls to get it running.

not self propelled - the blower is light in comparison to gasoline counter part - personally did not have issues on the pushing the blower. 15 amp is a big draw for our house circuit. 6-8 inches of packed snow should not be an issue. One foot of snow from the last snowfall was cleared but we had to reset the fuse 3 times.

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..

Hi. Yes I can answer: Plug the power source into an extension cord, push the black button on the green handle panel and with the button down grab the trigger like bar towards you. It should start right up. Please let me know if this helps.

You have to pull a cord to start it.Mine usally starts on 1 pull. Seems to be pretty good so far.

I've started mine both ways. The manual pull is pretty easy. I like having the electric start as backup.
