My ACE came from the factory with the choke out of adjustment and I had this same problem before investigating. I now prime for 10 seconds and it fires up with the first second crank.

One more picture I should have included with my previous choke position jpegs, is the choke adjusting plate end of the choke linkage. This shows the position that works for my 4kw KY gen, but might be different for others based on linkage/spring tension etc. If you get the choke closed position working again then you have to also make sure the gen hot position has the choke fully open too. The pictures should help anyone with choke issues at least see approx where the choke should be for the KY.
