If it starts initially, then it has spark. most likely the jets on the carbureator are clogged. You should remove the carb and clean/rebuild it.

The Porter-Cable CTE 3000 generator uses SAE 10W-30 motor oil.

Usually dependant upon load and RPM of engine.

Possibly water in carburetor fuel bowl. Drain and clean bowl.

You can contact your supplier who supply the generator to you. They know details about their product.

What is a BSV550-W

Hello Karen, suggestion, when you turn off the generator, previously disconnects the electrical load that is feeding and verifies if it continues with the problem It could be in need of maintenance I sent you the link so you can download the user manual I hope you can solve your concern Greetings Franco Dosil Hola Karen, sugerencia, cuando apagues el generador, previamente desconecta la carga electrica que esta alimentando y verifica si sigue con el problema Podria estar necesitando un mantenimiento Te envio el link para que puedas descargar el manual de usuario Espero puedas resolver tu inquietud Saludos Franco Dosil Porter Cable BSV750 Instruction Manual

Check engine speed first. It is likely too fast. If you have an ability to check frequency of output voltage, do so. It should be ~60hz in USA

Overhaul the carb, make sure the float hasn't sunk and see that the brass valve attached to it is sealing completely in it's seat.

Sounds like it is running lean, needs to be cleaned and adjusted.

Have you checked the oil level? Some newer ones have an auto-shutdown feature if it detects a low oil level.

Either the fuel is old/bad or the carburetor needs cleaning very badly.

Here are a a few possibilities to look at:

1) Bad connection at the outlets themselves (loose wire) regarding neutral, hot wires.

2) Bad Excitation Capacitor. The Exc. Cap. is responsible for energizing the field wiring of the alternator. If the field is not energized, there will not be a magnetic field developed, therefore, no electrical output.

3) Open Field / Stator winding. If Field winding is open, no magnetic field will be developed. If Stator winding is open, no voltage will be induced.

4) Generator speed is too slow. If the RPMs of the engine are too slow, the output of the alternator will fail as well. Note that from normal speed, voltage output will occur but at reducing frequency until ouput ceases altogether, usually at about 47Hz. If your alternator is a 2 pole, engine speed should be 3600 rpm nominal. If alternator is a 4 pole (most aren't), engine speed would need to be about 1800 rpm nominal.

5) Generator speed too fast. If RPMs are too fast, output may fail as well. See above.

6) Excitation Fuse has blown. There is sometimes a fuse in the excitation circuit. To check this, you will likely need to pull the end housing off the alternator. Pay attention to bearings / bushings.
