DIY Auto Choke for Portable Generators

A preview to an upcoming video. I'm trying to get this Benchmark BG6250E generator to start from a Magnum inverter with a ME- AGS-N. We will see. I don't think this is recommend by either company but that's why I'm here. It's a good learning experience as well. The full video on the build coming soon. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy.

Nice addition. U could always add a small buck boost 12 to 24 unit. I have several new1s laying around . Dirt cheap on ebay.

Send me a link if you don't mind. I'll have a look. Thanks

This is by far the simplest way to control a choke. My mind was going the technical route and overlooked the simplicity. Thanks.

That’s awesome I did not know that you could do that.

Im working on starting it from a solar system automatically. There is easy generators that are made to start from solar but this one is not so its giving me problems to solve. Cheers

From an ev battery . It opened a vent. Thanks for watching. Cheers

We will. It is testing for now. Fun to experiment anyway. Hope all is well.
