Do i mix oil in the gas on the coleman powermate 8750 honda 13 hp?

Sounds like the jets are clogged. You may need to rebuild the carb.

My son in law drained the carborator 3 times to get the old gas out. Also put in an additive to the gas. He figured our unit had sat too long and the gas was getting old. It is running fine now. Just need to figure out how to idle it down.

Powermate 5000w is four cycle. Look for oil fill plug on the engine and make sure that oil level is correct. Two cycle engines do not have crankcase with oil (as oil is mixed with fuel).

we need to know the make of the motor....most use a SAE30 four stroke oil....not sure of the plug without knowing the make of motor.

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.

hi

check the bearings,the piston and piston rings,the connecting rod

If it comes with a Briggs & Stratton 3.5 HP series 93400 engine, then the oil capacity is 20 fl oz (0.59 L). Hope this helps!

I had a similar situation with a friends generator. After sitting around unused for a few years it would not generate because the residual magnitism was weak. I plugged a light into it and by using the throttle arm I breifly ran up the RPM and the light came on. DO NOT MAINTAIN THE HIGH RPM FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS.

Your genny should already have this feature as it is part of the function to maintain the output voltage, if it isnt working I would look for a service manual for it and taker it from there as there can be many things that could prevent it from working properly
