I also found out a lot about the Powermate company via a customer service email reply: This has an elusive customer service number that i have not tried yet.

Powermate Corporation is not a part of The Coleman Company, Inc. They have been an independent company for over 10 years and we have no information on their products.
Powermate manufactured generators, pressure washers, air compressors and air powered tools. Information about those products was available from
Powermate Corp.

Earlier this year, Powermate transferred the right to sell air compressors and air powered tools to a company by the name of MAT Industries, LLC, 625 Barclay Boulevard, Lincolnshire, IL 60069, 1(800) 628-8815. This company may be able to help you with questions related to air compressors and air powered tools.
In March 2008, Powermate filed for bankruptcy protection. We understand that customer service inquiries to Powermate via emails, mail and telephone calls will not be answered. However, some information about Powermate and its products continues to be available at their website.
If the problem with your unit is with the engine, check the engine manual that came with the unit to determine whether the engine has a separate warranty from the manufacturer. When Coleman was affiliated with Powermate, they did. If so, you can contact the engine manufacturer for a listing of warranty centers in your area. The contact number should be in the engine manual.
If you are needing parts for a powerwasher, please visit the site

Your RPM's are too high. There is no voltage regulator in coleman generators (generator is actually made by generac) and is 100% dependent on engine speed. There is a screw under the tank when your looking in from the recoil side. It controls the governor arm. Screw it in and it incresses the rpm, out decrease. Plug something in that draws a decent load while setting the rpms since you want it to put out 120 and 240 underload. Your idle voltage does not matter.

actually, it sounds like the diodes are blown. Check our diodes.
As for checking stator, find the two wires, typically labeled L1 and L2 that are going to it. Measure with a multimeter. If there is no visual signs of damage, continuity can indicate a good stator. You should not have continuity between either wire and the stator frame.
The same goes for the rotor as well. The resistance measurements will not be the same for each one though.
Unfortunately, Powermate is out of business, and service information is scarce.
SOURCE: AVR board is burnt out
AVR burn out is the most popular problem with electricity supplyment....
replace the AVR...if it burnt out shortly after words..then u have a problem with the rpm of the engine...if not..then its just a AVR burnout..
don't hesitate to write to me for further information:
[email protected]
you said that your rotor is damaged so you have to re-wire it ...as for the stator testing procedure ..bring an ohmeter and put one side on the first end of the wire and the other on the other end....check for electrical continuity...if it beeped or lighted or did whatever it should do...then the stator is fine if not email me please...
