Is anyone else having issues with the choke pull from the main electric panel? Mine does not completely seem to fully move the choke lever (above the air filter). If I pull the choke on the panel out all the way, I can still move the actual choke lever a touch. This happens whether I'm opening or closing the choke.

No, but I had problems with the carburetor, and engine would not start - Briggs and Stratton service people of no help!!!!!

We have not needed to use ours so far but have test run it a few times and there was never a problem.

Have not had any problem on mine. Seems to work fine and starts on first pull.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

On mine the auto choke does not stay on long enough so I have to manually choke it by holding the lever over and will usually start

this model does not have a choke. It has an electronic / automatic choke on the carburetor

Mine was the same as everyone else. Crumpled paper to pack it with. Didn't help a lot. I was lucky that it arrived without too many issues though. Mine arrived with the air filter crushed. I just got another one for $5 and fixed it my self. Everything else was ok.

Is it only blowing hot air on the driver or passenger side? There is 2 Actuators if I am not mistaken and depending on which one it is will depend on which one to change... I heard a "click" before it started blowing hotter than hades air on the drivers side.

I've never had a problem with the air filter and find it to be ineffective. If you can, just tape it back in place. I've collected parts over the years and have several extra. I think you can get along without it if you tape over the hole.

I was wondering if every one has trouble with turning the filter holder in place. It takes an army.. Not new to machines.. thought I knew what i was doingthanks

My vents are made of plastic and the the part that controls the air flow can be unsnapped. I remove the air flow control part and place the filter sheet in the main vent and then snap the air control part back in. That keeps the filter in place. At least that works for me.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Do you have the proper gas oil mixture. If so give it gas as you pull the string at first full choke then half choke.

Power can be dependent upon how dirty the filter is, if you have any air leaks or the actual electric motor itself. In my opinion, the first place to start is by replacing the filter, then check your hoses for leaks or obstructions. If the motor is bad, it usually just goes all at once. Good luck.

Does it do anything at all? Did you slide down the safety? Do you hear the click or hear gas coming out when you hold the button down? Are you positive you filled it properly? If its full and the button depresses (safety disengaged) but no gas comes out when you hold the button, you probably have a gas flow problem. If the button depresses and you don't hear the click of the spark... you probably have an issue with the ignition. Just be sure you're using it right before you decide its actually a bad unit. If its full and sparks properly... maybe also check the flow adjustment on the side to make sure its turned up enough.

If you check on line you will find other people have complained of the same thing. That after a while the OEM regulator inhibits high gas flow rates. Ours got to the point of not working at all. After purchasing this unit which comes complete with everything the problem was immediately resolved and the BBQ is back to working perfectly.

Try moving the choke lever around ours seems to be off( turned to full choke otherwise it doesn't run). Also don't forget to put the oil in the machine , it is in kind of a strange place

The regulator is probably bad. I had this same problem on this model. Had to replace the grill. Not sure why it does, but something happens and it does not let enough gas through to heat, or, no gas flow at all. I tried turning the adjuster knob slowly from low to hi and back, several times. No go.

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.
