I have a Chicago with electric start from Harbor freight. I was told to yank a wire before my 2 year warranty was up and replace it with their (then) upcoming line, Predator. I forgot to do that and after 6 years the Electric Start doesn't work. It's an 8500w and the pull is a little stiff but I can get it going pretty quick with a shot of starting fluid.

I am thinking I'll replace it anyway in case the wife has to fire it up. It's a "portable" model but it's in a detached shed close to the house and we have CO monitors in the rooms on that side.
