- SOMEHOW the automatic electronic choke on some Cummins Onan p4500i and Westinghouse iGen4500i units gets unplugged during shipping leaving your brand new unit unable to start. Fortunately there is a simple fix to plug this choke back in! Follow this video if you have one of these unlucky units to get it started.

Can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this video . I bought 2 brand new Cummins 4500i 's , and one sure enough one of them had this choke problem the other did not have a choke problem and ran fine !
Thanks for helping us find the choke ! Great video.
I just purchased this model. Good to see these videos
Same here.
Great video,just saved my weekend!!!
Thank you for this I have been trying to figure out my Onan 4500i and why I have to manually choke it
Like 86. Good job showing us TH-cam mechanics yet another easy hack on complicated schtuff. : )
Will never understand why Ducar put an solenoid operated automatic choke on these. First one I bought on line 3 years ago would not stay running because the choke did not turn off and just flooded the engine. I took it to Cummins. They were very nice about it , kept it 2 weeks because the problem for them apparently was intermittent. They finally determined it had a bad solenoind but no parts available. Mine was an early production and most of them had this problem or choke was unplugged like this tutorial. They had another one and gave me that even transferred my high altitude jet to it and this one has been fine. We camp every month so in 3 years this gen. has over 400 hrs on it. I use 10W30 Onan- Cummins oil in the winter and the 15W40 in the summer , it is expensive and looks like mineral oil. I have a Briggs&Stratton oil extractor I use to pump out the dirty oil because the drain plug deal is a real P.I.T.A. Also got a magnetic drain plug , think it is the same as the Wen. I do like the commentor here's idea of installing a manual choke on it which is what the Chinese should've done.
This is crazy, the same issue on many similar inverter generators, a snap lock plug falls off!
what's that rubber hose called by the choke? That's the part that I am needing
Hi. I’m having the same issue but the electronic choke is plugged in. I’ve had it for over a year and I don’t understand what’s going on… please help me. This is my only way to get power as I’m off grid. Thank you 🙏🏽
mine worked for a year now it does not want to stay running. I found the choke is automatically positioning but I have to stop it from going off as soon as it strarts killing the motor. any ideas?
Ugh wtf! So my choke worked when manually crankek and manually choking it… but it won’t start with electric choke. Cracked it open and it was plugged in… soo frustrating
I regret not having found this video sooner! Let me elaborate that I regret paying $446.11 to have a Cummins service center diagnose this exact same problem, for my generator.
