Coleman Powermate generator will not start.

Why won't my engine start. It starts with starting fluid but immediately dies as soon as it runs out of starter fluid. I'm using fresh gas. I checked the gas filter and fuel runs though it. The engine is a Briggs & Stratten 10HP driving a 5KW generator. This model has a low oil cutout switch. I believe it has some type of governor to maintain a constant speed. I do not have the manual. This unit has not been run very much. Bro-in-law says when it ran recently, the rpm cycled up and down - not constant. Any suggestions?

What's the best choke setting for starting a cold generator

Full choke to start, open choke partially immediately the engine starts to where the motor runs smoothly, continue opening as soon as you can while keeping the engine running smoothly. Be sure to open fully before leaving the unit, running it with the choke partially on can cause a rich fuel condition which tends to wash the oil off the cylinder walls and it also dilutes the oil with gasoline.

COLEMAN powermate 5000 generator w/a Subaru engine

Check the vent in the fuel cap to make sure its free to breath. It could be creating a vaccume in there and starveing for fuel. Maybe run it with the gas cap off and see if the problem gos away.

I have a coleman powermate 5000 genertor w/a subaru engine.

Try removing the float bowl from the carbuerator and empty it out. Also check the float valve to see if there is debris under it. Thi problem is definitely fuel.
