If the genset is working but there is no output then it is possible that the circuit breaker has TRIPPED due to short in the line. So remove the load to the genset and power the engine . Now switch on the mains switch and see if there is output. It there is no output then it is possible that there are problems in the ALTERNATOR. You will need to check if there is safety cut off/fuse that has failed or there is problems in the wiring.

After working on several of this style coleman generator,i have found that the lead wires in the windings that are soldered to where your brushes would contact tend to break.I don't know if it's a poor design or just a fluke,i would check to see if your getting continuity on the rotor and go from there.They seem to either "burn off" or just break.

Make sure that the alternator is being turned by the engine--sometimes the mechanical coupling fails. Check for a tripped breaker/blown fuse. Beyond checking for bad brushes (if used), you will need a wiring diagram and an AC/DC voltmeter/ohmmeter to chase out any troubles in the alternator. Be aware of voltages up to 230 volts can be found inside even if there is no output.

you need to replace your breaker frist. than check your rotor ohm and than your stator for shorts. you may want to check the cover were the bearing is there is a metal ring that may have came out and hits your brush cover. look for black burnt marks

check your fuses or circiut breakers...

check field exciter..check fuses also if there are..

most generators have a reset button. check your manual under the trouble shooter section good luck.

Try replacing the capacitor. You can buy it from http://www.jackssmallengines.com/do_it_home.html. When you pull off the power end of the generator look at the diodes also. If they look toasted replace them as well

the gensets on coleman generators are definately nothing to brag about but i would start by checking the windings and make sure the brushes have a clean armature to ride on
