Coleman Powermate Powermate 5000W Generator - Page 2 Questions & Answers
My Coleman generator runs great for about 3-5 minutes then shuts down.
I am guessing this is caused by some type of floating debris in your tank. I think that unit might just have a simple grommet holding the outlet fitting into the bottom of the tank. Try removing the outlet fitting and try to make sure the tank and fitting are free from debris.

I have a True Life
Hi,
The small permanent magnets that start the field producing the electric have gone flat or lost their charge.
To get the generator part working again you will need to "flash" or reintroduce power back into the magnets.
This can be done in many ways... click here for one way
Here is another way to do it...
There are more if you want to google it...

What kind of oil do
You can use numerous engine oils. 10W - 40, 30W Detergent, 30W Non detergent (SAE)
The best all around above 40 deg F and below 100 F oil to use is a 30W detergent oil. Brand name does NOT matter. Oil level should be checked EACH time you add fuel. Change oil any time the oil appears Dark BLACK when checked regardless of the hour intervals. .
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Our on/off switch is broken, how to fix
You will either need to find a Coleman dealer in a store, in the phone book, or online.
Ask them for the part number of the switch, and then you can buy it in a store, or on the computer.
There is a store in Branson, Missouri, we were in last year.
On the computer, try Amazon or e-bay after you get a part number. God bless your efforts.

Startz well but do not putout electricidy.
Check the circuit breaker(s) - also try connecting a smaller load to the generator to start out with, such as a table lamp. What are you trying to connect to the generator?

No power out put
After checking all connections check for power from the end of the alternator. if there is no power it is either the diodes in the end of the alternators rotor or the capacitor has blown ( round barrel shaped device with four prongs on ) When changing capacitor make sure you get the correct size mesured in micro farads.

Tecumseh hm-100 exhaust valve never completely closes
this is a strange problem, the engine would not have left the factory in this condition. are the cam followers the same size ? have they been mixed up.
some engines have an auto decompression which consists of a spring loaded centrefugal weight on the camshaft gear and in order to close the valve the engine has to reach a certain cranking speed in order to compress

Starter rope is locked. Cannot turn by pulling cord
Hi Bob:
Sounds like the engine is seized.
Try removing enough bits so you can access the flywheel and see if you can turn it. Make sure ignition is OFF.
If the flywheel does not turn it will be time for a learning experience, a trip to the maintenance shop, or a replacement.
