My Coleman Powermate 7000 won't start. Ran for 15 minutes turned off. Tried to start again, but won't start. Drained old fuel, refueled, checked oil, changed spark plug, sprayed carb with carb cleaner, still won't start. Used once and sat over the summer. Help, frustrated.

I not you said you "checked the oil level" My experience with most portable generators is that they must me positioned as level as possible and the oil level must be fully serviced as full as you can get it without oil leaking back out of the dip-stick hole on units WITHOUT an extended dip-stick. Unless those conditions are met the low oil level sensor ends up presenting a false low oil signal and it grounds out the ignition. DO you have Spark at all? If you do have spark and it still does not run respond with the MODEL number off of your ENGINE and I will show you where the main fuel jets are located so you can make sure the orifice is clean.
Some units have a fuel solenoid that presses into the main fuel jet recessed area and shut off the fuel to the carb. This is also an area that debris causes havoc.

Thanks,
Kelly

Cant get my power ate 8750 to start. Ran fine last year. Have changed spark plug, aded fuel stabilizer, will starting ether help?

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.

Generator Won't start

Gap the plug at .030 What is most likely the main problem is whatever gas sat in the carb. Even with fresh gas there will be some old gas still in the float bowl. You may be able to drain the bowl and be OK but I have a feeling that the carb will need to come off and be disassembled and cleaned properly. You can try spraying carb cleaner (I dislike starting fluid as it is too volatile and carb cleaner does just as well in this instance) into the carb/intake. Remove the air filter, open the choke, and spray the carb cleaner in through that way if possible. You can actually keep an engine running by spraying with short bursts. Even by just spraying once you should be able to get the engine to start. If it does start but then will not stay running without spraying more into the engine then it is a carb problem.

Coleman powermate clean machine 1500 won't turn over any ideas

A new spark plug should solve the problem. Had the same thing for the last 2 days would not start no matter what including starting fluid. Cross referance the plug with a Autolite Extreme Start plug $4.00 at Advanced Auto Parts and did not change the gap. 2nd pull it started and ran great!!

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

I have an HM100 on a 5500 watt gen with the same problem. This motor calls for a J17 spark plug, but I found using a J19 (hotter) plug solved the problem. I think the J17 doesn't get hot enough for a complete combustion burn so it act like fuel starvation thus resulting in the black sooty and wet plug.

Powermate Maxa 5000 er will not run stably

Check the fuel filter. My company designed hybrid generators that are far more efficient. They use batteries to power your equipment, and the generator runs intermittantly to recharge the batteries when needed.

If you would like to convert to hybrid, contact me at [email protected]

I have a coleman powermate 2400. It started fine

Did you try a new spark plug. Old one may have fouled.
