I have a xp10000e duromax generator.

Used the generator during outtage, then tried to turn off and ignition switch was stuck in run positon, and voltage meter was melted along with the idle control switch, and generator would,t turn off. so i turned fuel valve off to starve engine to shut down. i replaced ignition switch, voltage meter,idle control switch, and battery. i connected positive cable, and when i touched the negative cable it wanted to start. no key in ignition. could a short in the starter relay be the problem?

Hi. If the ignition switch and the wiring from the ignition switch to the starter are good. Then I would look at the starter solenoid. The solenoid is normally open and only closes when the ignition switch is turned to the start position. Remove the "Trigger" wire from the starter, reattach the battery cables and use a test light to confirm. Good luck.

SOURCE: engine wont turn over with key, not getting enough gas to run.

Have the key and ignition checked! I am assuming that the key has a security chip on it, Right? If so, re-program key at dealership, and if that alone doesn't work, have them check both the key and column.

SOURCE: cannot connect the negative battery terminal without spark or starter turning over

You will need new igniton cylinder. Sounds like you have a short in the cylinder.

My Duromax xp13000eh won't start at first it would turnover and just not fire. Now I can't even get the engine to turn on the pull rope.

There could be fuel or coolant in the cylinder causing it to lock up , remove the plug and use the pull rope to clear it , if it is coolant or fuel do the repairs .

Duromax 10000e generator.no load runs fine on 120v.When volage selector switched to 120/240 engine seems to be under very heavy load,wants to stall and housing on alternator gets very hot.

Hi!

You will need to test the alternator to determine what has failed. We have put together a quick video to show how to do this.

DuroMax XP10000EH Dual Fuel Generator runs well on gasoline, but will only start and run for about 2-3 seconds after priming regulator on LP gas. Changed regulator (new OEM) but same issue remains.

I am sorry to hear you cannot get your Generator started, First I think you should start by looking at the ignition system.
To find the fault please follow these steps:
  1. Removed the spark plug from the engine and re-attach to the Ignition HT Lead. Hold the end of the spark plug tip to a metal section of the engine, and turn over the engine. If all is working correctly, you should see a strong spark, and the engine should run smoothly.
  2. If you do not get a spark, you next need to check oil level is at correctly level (to the very top as if about to flow out) and repeat step 1.
  3. If you still have no spark or it stops running within a few minutes of starting, disconnect the oil sensor wire (you will find it on the front coming from your engine just to the top left of the oil filler cap) and try step 1 again.
  4. Still not getting a spark? Then you need to replace your ignition coil. You can order one from us from our website on this page: http://www.generatorguru.com/xp10000-xp10000e-xp10000e-ca/
If you are getting a spark, but still having trouble starting the Generator, there is most likely a fuel problem too. We can assist you with the next set of fault-finding tests if you need some help. Let us know how it goes. http://www.generatorguru.com/ask-the-guru/

Fuel mixing with oil and filling oil tank and cylinder.

the ethanol gas has a way of ruining the rubber tip on the needle valve (in carburetor). When the rubber tip on that valve or the rubber on the Seat go bad, gas can constantly want to fill the carburetor bowl. so much so that it runs into the engine cylinder and past the Rings to the crankcase.
You can replace the needle valve and seat in the carb which is best OR you can put an in-line shutoff on the fuel line and turn it off when you are not using the generator.
Ethanol gas.. very very bad for carburetors.
