It can be hard to pull start when cold. It has alway started for us though and is still using its original spark plug. I do oil changes yearly with Mobil1 synthetic.

Point being, that knob does move it from choke to a normal run, and then when moving to off, it's not an instantaneous shutoff, but more like fuel starvation shutoff.

BTW, the upgraded, newer model (WEN 56203i) has a fuel shutoff:

Drain the fuel system folks! It's in the manual. Why? Tiny capillary size passageways are easily clogged, gummed up, 99% of the time with hard starting gum restricting fuel delivery is the cause.
It is not sufficient to simply turn off the petcock and add fuel preservative. Internet myth.
How: Easy. On the carburetor float bowl there is a small tube. Pull it out then turn the drain screw counter clockwise until fuel flows. First run the generator dry with the petcock OPEN. Or empty the tank manually by siphoning or inverting. If inverting, then drain the oil first to prevent oil from fouling the air cleaner.
Drain the carburetor with the petcock OPEN. This way the entire fuel system is drained including the fuel lines. When the tank, fuel lines and carb are dry no gum can form. When gum forms you have fuel starvation which causes hard starting. Worse you have reduced engine power, and engine surging. Once the fuel system is fouled it is necessary to replace the carburetor and fuel lines. And very likely you will have rust in the tank from condensation. Rust flecks with then foul your new carburetor. All of this damage is easily prevented.
I will usually rinse the tank with 90% ETOH and let that drain out followed by air drying. Final step -refill the oil and set the piston to TDC. Now that there is no fuel in the engine and only clean oil there will be zero odors and you can store the genset indoors in a closet. It's not good to store these outdoors.
