SOURCE: I have a 3250 watt Kingcraft generator that won't

Always troubleshoot with new sparkplug. Remove the oil sending unit connection from the coil. The coil should work without any wires connected. Usually the only connections are oil sending unit that will short to ground when low oil condition and other wire must be kill wire to on/off switch. Use carb cleaner spray directly into the carb with air filter removed and choke off as fuel supply. Just a short spray and another short spray after a couple of pulls. If engine wants to start you will need to keep spraying cleaner for engine to continue to run. If engine wants to run, replace fuel with couple gallons of premium fuel to get it going. Hotter fuel will help if the compression is low. Good luck

Powermate generator 3250 runs for hours then chokes out runs rough

If it runs for hours under the same a mount of load then, chokes down, make sure fuel lines are fully clear, it may operate with a full tank of gas then when the weight of the fuel in the tank gets less has a problem. When it chokes out fill the gas back up and see if it works again. Also make sure the choke butterfly is not closing again whilst hot. I don't know how many hours are on it, but a decarb may be in order, especially if it runs for hours no issues

How to start a gas generator (should the choke be in or out, to the right or the left before starting

Most Generac generators have a lever for the choke that pulls out. So if the generator is being started for the first use or cold you should choke when starting . Let it run for 30-45 sec. then push it in . Once the engine has been run or warm you dont need to choke every time when starting .

I have a Generac XL4000. It rill start but not run right.

If the area you live in has alcohol added to their unleaded gas, then you will probably need to rekit the carbuerator. Also check the spark arrestor for plugging up. Try to find a non alcohol, off road unleaded gas for your generator.

Generac c4000 wont start

The switch must be the choke control. Try holding open manually. You may have to remove the choke solenoid (electric choke) If closed it cannot get air through the venturi which is what pulls the gas through the carburator jets.
