sticking choke 2015 triumph

I have the standard generator option 2015 triumph.
The choke sticks in the open position. I need to manually flick it closed to start it from a cold start.
I have details on how to fix it but getting to it is almost impossible for me.
I do have experience in repairing things that need it but can't for this one.
Are there any here to explain how to remove it ( what tools to use etc)?
Mainly I need to know how to reach it with my hand.

Might look to see if Cummins has a manual or if you can find a tech who could tell you where it is. If it is a gas unit her is the manual https://www.norwall.com/product_pdfs/78 ... m_2018.pdf

also look on tube there are a few videos that show the choke but I do not know what generator you have. Utube is your friend.

Thanks for responses.
I have the manual and have searched Youtube.
I use the generator so seldom and it is not that big a problem. Just bugs me.

George,

You may want to consider putting in a fuel additive that lessen the chance that your carburetor does not gum up and stick. I am a big fan of Startron. I use it in all of our vehicles, both gas & diesel, as well as small engines. You should notice better starting for both the generator and the coach. Read the customer reviews. The product is available on Amazon, Walmart, West Marine and auto parts stores.

Mine was sticking when I bought our 2012 . I tried to free it up myself with no luck so I took it to Rich & sons in Grand Island NE (I know that's to far for you to go)they new exactly how to fix it ,and it didn't take very long to do it .That was 4 years ago and it still works. I would not take it to cummins unless you want to spend alot.
