Coleman Powermate Powermate 5000W Generator Logo
Randy Zahorchak Posted on Nov 01, 2011

Coleman Powermate 5000 won't start. Ran it for 7 hours, took to my friends, started right up. He shut it down and now it won't start again. Carb is clean, new spark plug. Any ideas?

Check to see if the generator has a low oil kill switch. if it does then check behind the on off switch and remove the white wire.
but be sure to keep track of your oil levels then.

Colman promate 5000 won't start, wher is teh fuel shut off valve?

on the bottom of the tank were the fuel line goes to the tank, it may be a round knob u turn, I have problems starting mine after setting a while so I choke it and pull the cord, if it has set for a long time, you may need to pull the spark plug and put a drop or 2 of gas in the cyilinder, reinstall the plug andwire and it should start.

I bought a used coleman powermate 5000 generator, I replaced the spark plug and fuel filter, it finally started up,it would only run in the "choke" position it ran about 10 minutes and then shut down, I...

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).
