I can't explain but i have a 9 year old Chinese made Ramsond Sinemate 3500 that it runs better today than it did when it was brand new or the 1st 6 years old so. It has key start and now; it always turns over the 1st try!!! I used to have pump the primer bulb 50 -75 times, turn key about three times and then go pull the rope about 15 times for it to start. My portable is quiet but it can't touch my Onan 5500. I never take the portable with RV as I simply don't need to.
