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.

Powerback 10 horsepower 5000 watt generator. I am having hard time starting it. I put a new spark plug in it still a hard time starting. Can you help please?

Question edited for clarity.

Engines only need 3 things to run

Fuel (is it fresh, carb clean, jets clear)
Compression (test with compression gauge)
A spark at the right time (remove plug, ground it, check for spark)

I cannot locate the owners manual for my Coleman PowerMate 6250 generator 10 hp? Any place I can find this online quickly thank you

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.

8 hp tecumseh on coleman generator not running at a constant rpm (galloping)

The carburetor is hunting for the right balance because it is dirty. You will have to remove it to clean it thoroughly. That is the proper way to resolve it, but if you may want to try to add a carburetor fuel injector fuel additive to the tank and run it out. It may help to stabilize the hunting when the engine is under load. The only way to see is to try it, if you are not ready to tackle a carburetor. I have seen this trick work on my lawn mower engine. It greatly minimized the problem on my engine. Keep in mind the ultimate fix is the rebuild of the carburetor.

I hope this helps.

Parts lists for Coleman generators are here: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/coleman_parts_lookup.cfm

More detailed information about the engine can be found by using the engine model number. Look around the fan shroud or engine block. Coleman used different engnes, however your gen may have incorporated a Tecumseh 10 hp engine. Good luck

Need to know what oil to use in 10 HP 5000 tecumsah engine - goes on our generator and I lost the manual

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.25b21be.jpg
