I believe you mean the fuel pump. They do fail and leak, so likely you need a replacement. Make note of where the 3 lines connect (inlet, outlet, impulse air) Also check for fuel in the crankcase (oil) and drain and replace if necessary.

SOURCE: how do i flash my generator so it will work again?

on most models it is the 2 & 6 wires inside the generator. They are blue and red & all you need is a 9volt battery. Be careful, this is electricity!

SOURCE: i get no 110 or 220 volt power

generac was purchased by Briggs Stratton some years ago, however some information is available at the following web address, just enter your model number:

http://www.generac-portables.com/service_support/owner_manuals/owner_manuals.cfm

The small board that you describe is the bridge rectifier that converts ac from the windings to dc for the armature. You can test the brush/board by removing the part from the generator and applying 12 to 16 volts ac to the input tabs/wires then test/read dc (dc voltage will be lower than input ) voltage at the brushes. Use meter to make sure that you are getting dc. I use a small power supply less than one amp that I purchased at the thrift store for a couple of dollars. If test fails replace part. If it tests ok re-install brushes and re-connect the ac power supply to brush/board which in turn will energize the armature. At this point test the armatrue for magnetic power. I use a thin welding rod or wire against armature. If you feel a magnet start the engine. If the windings are good you should get some voltage at the plugs and the two wires that feed the brushes (will not be full voltage). If voltage is present, kill engine and disconnect ac power supply and connect the original wires to brushes/board and start engine. If you now have voltage at plugs you spiked the system indirectly by energising the armature. If still no voltage you may have an open circuit that feeds the brushes or diode pack is failing with the incresased voltage. Good luck with your repair and email if you have questions.

SOURCE: I have a Generac portable generator 5000 watts, won't start!

I am assuming the generator worked fine before the oil change. Now that you have done the oil change the genset does not start. These generators have a safety switch, which is basically an oil pressure switch that keeps the engine from running when there is not enough oil in the engine. Make sure that there is enough oil and if there is, look for a wire that runs along side of the engine to a round component. disconnect that wire and try starting. If it does not start then try to ground out the wire to the engine block. If this does not work, then there is other engine problems.

SOURCE: no power output from my generac 5000 power plus

It is possible that your voltage regulator is shot but before purchasing the volt regulator try flashing the fields first and make sure the brushes and rings are clean.

I have a Generac 5000 Power Plus 10HP Model 09856-0 Series 401 4891. It works fine but the gas tank petcock leaks. Where can I get a replacement and for reference I'd like to get a parts manual for future...

The original part number your looking for is 78298 (Plastic tank valve). It has been superseded by part number 080270 and it it available here:

http://www.ordertree.com/ARI.aspx?Mfg=36&Model=9856-0%20POWERPLUS,%205,000%20Watt

http://www.ordertree.com/AddtoCart.aspx?&ProductID=78298&ProductQlfr=GEN $5.34

Part Mfg: GENERAC Part Number: GEN 78298 This Part has been superseded arrowdown.gif Part Number: GEN 080270 Price: $5.34

When you do parts searches in the future for your generator use 9856-0 (Powerplus 5000Watt) for the model number.

You can also order the 080270 tank valve here:

If you enter the part number on the search page.
$4.60

Coleman Powermate 5000 reset problem

Yes, there must be a protection device on the unit somewhere. It should be indicated in the owners manual. It may be on the box the outlets are in, or built into the cover of the generation unit.
