Power House PH3100 runs but isn't generating power

Bought this PH3100Ri new and it has 250 hours on it... ran great until yesterday. Now it runs but economy switch will not affect rpm runs low rpm, run light not on and it won't produce power, 20 or 30 amp. I've replaced spark plug, drained fuel, changed oil regularly, checked fuel filter... I hate to take it to the shop: 3 week wait.

    Do you mean the 12v battery charging regulator?

  • Steve Nov 28, 2016

    I have the same problem, motor starts but idles at very low rpm, ie only just. Where would I find this regulator and what does it look like?

Why does my powerhouse PH3100ri generator run fine for about 5 minutes or so then dies and it will not start again in till it sets for 30 minutes or so then it will fire right up please help!!

Maybe faulty CDI ignition module ? There are a number of components ( electrolytic capacitors ) in the module that can fail with temperature rise.
A test... Remove the ignition plug lead when motor has stopped after the 5 minutes and put a wire inside the plug cap and place end near a metal part of motor. Careful not to zap yourself... Pull starter and look for ignition spark. If there is no spark then probable fault is ignition module. If there is spark then problem may be in fuel system.

Do check vent on fuel tank is open.

Do check choke is turned to off once motor is running.

Do check the oil level as the low oil cutoff can cause shutdown and will result in no spark.

How to change fuel filter on a PH3100Ri

Check to ensure you did not trip any of the amp switches. My generator acted the same way until I reset the switches.

This could be anything from a blown fuse to a shorted circuit. My best recommendation would be to have an electrician look at the generator.
