Coleman Powermate 10 HP Generator shuts down after a few minutes.

Most PowerMate manuals are available here: http://www.powermate.com/productmanuals.php?cat_id=3 . However, describing it as the PowerMate 6250 10 HP generator is insufficient to find the correct manual. The Coleman PowerMate line has several models with 10 HP engines and a 6250 Starting Watt (5000 W running) capacity.

These include the Powermate PM0435005; the direct link for this manual is http://www.powermate.com/pdfs/2011/12/29/pm0435005.02.pdf .

Please add a comment with the actual model number of your generator if you need further assistance with finding the correct manual for your generator.

I hope this helps.

I have a Coleman Powermate 5000 with 10 HP Tecumseh engine. It is very hard to get started. once started runs great . But when you shut it off and try to restart it it will not start.
I have plenty of fire. I also replace the carb.
I still have problems getting it started. I tried to start it with out the filter also. What can i try next?

Thanks for any help

There are a couple of switches on these things, and their positions and the little icons on them are NOT intuitive - well maybe they are intuitive to the under-20 crowd. I lent mine (which starts right up) to a friend who spent an hour or two pulling the cord before he noticed how to turn it on. I'm not trying to be a smart-alec. I hope this helps.

It depends on what temperature range the generator will be operating in. Below is a chart from Tecumseh that shows different oils for different temperature ranges. It says on their website to use a high quality brand name oil so you don't have to get actual Tecumseh oil.

4 bolts to the engine then altenator will just pull off may need a puller to get it moving

I hate to ask,is there oil in it?There's a shut off for low oil level,it's to save the engine from starving for oil.

Try an RJ8C, thats a fairly generic plug for the 10 hp Tecumseh engine that should be in your generator.

it's running lean.....try resetting the choke partially when it begins to surge.....not completely closed, but enough to richen the fuel mixture (that's all a choke does btw..)
if that helps or clears the problem, your carb is outta whack.....cheaper to buy a new carb than keep taking back into the shop.

What brand of engine & horsepower is it?Also about how long was it stored or last time it was run? The reason I ask is if it was stored with gas in it & a fuel stabilizer wasn't added to it,your primary jet is plugged in the carburetor(reason it will only run while choked).
