I have a Mcculloch FA5700ak generator. Routine run up. Ran fine then started to bog down and stopped generating. Still, starts but no electricity.

Check to see if there is a fuse for the generator.

fuel problem, the float in the carborator is stuck, if you tap on the carborator bowl it will probably get freed up.if not take the bowl off and spray the insides with carb. cleaner.

SOURCE: McCulloch fg6000mk: generator motor runs, no power.

You need to trace out the power wires the come out of the genset. They will end up on a breaker. With a volt meter measure both sides of the breaker. If one side has voltage and the other side doesn't, then your breaker is opened. Press the breaker in closed to see if it actually closes. If it don't then you will need a breaker. However, if no voltage is being produced, it is possible that the voltage regulator let go.

SOURCE: Lombardini diesel generator starts and runs fine but no elecpower

remove the covering panel and expose the internals , check for loose/disscontected push on ( lucar ) connectors , if these are fine it is most likely the excitation capacitor is deffective , replace with exactly the same value/voltage rating/duty cycle . the capacitor is usual 1 or up to 3 cylindrical tubes with 2 wires comming from them , always take a note of exactly what wires you have taken off :) hope this helps

I had this same issue with my NP 50G. I replaced the oil pressure & over heat sensor and fuel filter but the problem still existed.

After that I took the fuel bowel off the carb which had some dirt in it. Sprayed it with carb cleaner and that solved the issue. Hope this helps......

SOURCE: troy bilt 5550 generator no start please help

fuel, fire, mechanical. Miss one and she won;t run. Are you sure the gas was good? Not some old can laying around that may have turned or become water contaminated? If it was fresh gas, then take off the air cleaner and spray a little wd-40, or ether, or brake cleaner whatever is flammable into the carb throat. Just a 1 second shot is all it should need. Try and start with that. If it starts and then dies quickly, still a fuel problem. maybe a gasket is damaged, or the jet is clogged. When you said you checked for fire, you acutally took the plug out and had it grounded while spinning the motor and saw spark? If you saw a hot spark then you have eliminated fire. Mechanical not likely if it was running well a short time before. If a valve was damaged, it would still run but not too well. My gut feeling is it is related to fuel.

Testimonial: "thanks for the great help i did try fresh fuel and drained the carb bowl but still same prob its a head scratcher i really thank you for your input."

Instuctions on how to start mcculloch generator 1800 w

I have one.. great little unit.. very reliable..
I am a wannabee diy guy.. so good luck
1 assuming sparkplug is good / in / /newish??
Fuel needs to be filled.. I suggest premium only (less residue if it sits for long.)
fill oil.. top up..
d/c electric plugs
then
togle ignition switch to on
turn fuel cap to on
turn fuel switch (sw) to on
move choke to start if engine is cold start.
pull starter cord ..
good luck
ps.. I have learned to run engine dry of fuel after use. turn off fuel (sw).. this empties carb.. You may have to pull starter cord a few times with next start to bring the fuel down..

The engine runs fine and the generator produces electricity but shortly after start up the generator head gets hot and starts to smoke. What could be the problem or solution? thanks jeff Joyce

If you really mean the "generator head", which I understand as the outer bearing cover of the generator, your problem may be a bad contact or worn out brush-ring assembly, or a bearing problem (not very much believable).

McCulloch 5700, 11 HP Starts easy with 2 pulls and begins running fine. Then it start dying and back fires,revs up and down, back fires. Then will run normal for a few minutes and will start revving up...

Sounds like you may have a wire shorting out. Check all ign wires and make sure one hasnt rubbed through. Maybe take off your front cover and make sure something isnt shorting out your coil contacts. Hope this helps

I have a 3500w coleman generator I use to run my 5th wheel. It works fine until I turn on the air conditioner, then it sounds like it is bogging down and will not power the A/C.

Hello, I will make the assumption that your A/C runs fine when you are tethered to shore power. You will need to calculate your load. Add up the amps of everything in use, including the A/C. 3500W is the peak momentary output; look at your data sheet or tag to determine your continuous output, which will be less. It's possible that you're either pulling too many amps for your genset or there may be an issue with your A/C. Turn everything else off, and start the A/C. If the generator bogs down, you may not have enough generator. If it doesn't bog down, turn on your other items, one at a time. Ideally, your generator should have enough output to power everything in your 5th wheel, plus ehough extra for initial starting surge, like for your A/C, fridge, etc.. It sounds like your amps are close, but not quite there.
