Can't start new machine, new fuel chock close position n electric starter. idle only.why?

New fuel choke? What was wrong with the old one? I haven't used electric starter on these. I would try the choke at different positions, all the way open and all the way closed. Make sure power switch is on. I do recall the chock being a little sensitive at first. Try using pull chord instead of electric start. Check your oil levels too.

check a couple things. spark plug wire is connected, fuel dial turned on, power switch on, oil level is good, and proper gas in engine. this should work.

With mine to first start it, turn it to full choak, and to a lower speed and pull once. Keep on lower speed but switch to half choak and pull, and it should start. May need to repeat a couple times.

Could be the fuse key installation. Try removing and replacing and cleaning the contacts, even with fine sandpaper. Also ensure right starter sequence with the button and safety bails on handle

CHECK all cords make sure you have right power and switched right then 100%to start.If that don't work send ballast back. they have bin really good replacing bad or defective.

My first thought is it could be the belt. When you turn the machine on if the belt system is working properly a little green light will come on top of the belt housing. If that light doesn't come on, the belt is probably the problem.

I have had the same problem with my brand new Husqvarna 435. I have pulled on it over a hundred times and it will not start. The local service repair center was able to start it after making carburetor adjustments. But, when I got it home, back to square one...it will not start. A real piece of junk.

Check your fuel switch to make sure its fully open. could possibly be a blocked line. Also, did you put stabilizer in the fuel, it is necessary to put in stabilizer when the gas sets for a period of time. if you did not put stabilizer in, drain the tank and purge the gas line. Then refill with fresh gas with stabilizer added.

I have only filled my generator to the full position and then the auxillary to the full position and used.. The fuel will feed from the auxiliary tank first and always leave the tank in your genset full - for example, it will use the fuel in your gen set last.

I had that problem at first. Then I discovered that I was setting the fuel supply to rich. By just barely cracking the fuel valve open--mine start just fine. Between me and my friends, we have about ten of these in operation at this time.

Don't know how technical you are, but here goes. disconnect and ground the spark plug wire so the engine will not start. Disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor. Direct it into a container, and crank the starter for a few seconds. Fuel should pulse out into the container. If it does not, the pump is bad, or fuel hoses could be cracked or loose, causing the pump to lo lose prime. The ethanol fuel is bad on pump diaphragms and valves.

Flip the fuel cut-off switch just above the red knob. Not sure how to fix the broken knob, though. May not need it I you use fuel cut-off switch for the same purpose?

Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty. Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

Pull start is the only way with this model. There is another model that has a starter included.

I made sure all the connections were the same (marked them) as I took off the old power supply and mine started right up. Maybe you have something connected incorrectly to the motherboard that relays power from the start button, good luck.

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

Mine won't start, I checked the fuel filter, got no spark at the spark plug, so will check the gap at the coil. I suggest you inspect the spark plug.
