Top 20 Coleman Powermate Premium Plus 6250W Portable Generator Questions & Answers

Hi, yes i think its an e6 invert torque .

check the operation of the on/off switch

http://www.ereplacementparts.com/armaturemagneto-p-227657.html Also the gap at the magnet is critical.

that will work fine in that engine.

I need more info. Describe exactly the sequence of what you do tomake which circiut breakers blow ... the ones on the generator orelsewhere? Do you have a load connected to the gen? If so, what is the load?

The easiest way to do an ignition check is to MAKE SURE the right amount of oil is in the engine, make sure there's FRESH fuel in the tank, and then where the on/off (I/O) switch is for the engine, not for the generator half but for the engine itself, there should be atleast one if not a cluster of wires with disconnectable links on them. Disconnect them, those are all of your ignition wires from various areas of the engine and generator that will kill the ignition if something isn't right. If you disconnect the main one from the on off switch, there should now be a spark but be careful because with all of that disconnected, you won't be able to shut the machine down easily, you'll have to remember which wire goes where that you disconnected (good idea to photograph them before you disconnect more than one wire) and either reconnect them, choke out the engine which may not kill it either, or disconnect the coil to spark plug lead from the spark plug. An easy way to check for spark without disassembling anything first, is to get a long Philips screw driver with a plastic or wood handle, and stick it in the coil lead where it would go on the spark plug. Hold the handle and bring the shaft about 1/8" or less without touching it to the tip of the spark plug that's metal and exposed. Have someone pull over the recoil once and check for an arc going from the screwdriver shaft to the plug. Make sure the I/O switch is on and being in a dimly lit area helps to see the spark as well. Don't worry about getting zapped, it won't kill you an it doesn't hurt, just feels like a violent vibration isolated to the area you are touching and instinctively your body will release from it and you should pull your hand back. But, if you follow my instructions and use the correct handle material screwdriver and don't touch any metal, you won't be shocked, promise. Chances are, you DO have a spark and there is nothing wrong with either the coil or the plug as it rarely ever is in no-start situations. More than likely your fuel has gone bad and is not making it to the engine. You can even avoid all else I said, and simply pick up a can of carburetor cleaner NEVER STARTING FLUID, and once you have the air filter completely removed and can see the throttle plate, hold it open, spray a quick shot of the carb cleaner into the engine, and give it a yank. I almost guarantee it will try to fire on the carb cleaner and once it runs out, will die again. That means you aren't getting fuel and need a new carb. Yes, a new carb, because taking it to a place to have them remove it, rebuild it, and reinstall it while trying to sell you other services will be infinitely more expensive than a simple $50 carburetor.

What does the oil look and smell like? Also what conditions is it been ran in lately, and what fuel are you running?

No gauges can set the governor . The governor controls the engine at a set speed, as the load on the generator varies so does the engine speed ,the governor tries to keep the engine speed constant.

If you send me your email address I will be happy to send you a diaphragm with OEM part numbers. [email protected]

The ones on the left and right are the lines ( 120 volts ) the top one is the neutral and the botton with the small L is the ground.

Put an inverter on in.

I think you did not set the AIR GAP when you replaced the coil. Most are set .010 . Look on you tube it will how how to set it.

have checked the plugs

It look the same as my Coleman 5000W If you like I can email you my owner manual

10W30 OIL WILL BE FINE

Buy an adapter.

See some of my responses to other peoples generator problems. If you have no or very little electrical output, then you have overloaded the generator by placing a demand for too many amps from too many appliances for the size of the generator. You will have blown a capacitor, resistor, or similar item. Someone with a good electrical background will need to diagnose the problem and find the blown part.

There are two kinds of control switches in the electric start system of generator set: electromagnetic type and mechanical type. The electromagnetic switch is driven by the electromagnetic force to pull the fork to start. When starting the diesel engine, press the switch. At this time, the circuit is as follows: the battery switch, the connecting post 5, the iron absorption coil, the connecting post, the generator and the iron battery. The current flowing through the iron suction coil makes the core magnetized to produce suction force, and the moving contact is sucked down and closed with the static contact.

go to YOUTUBE I HAD SAME PROBLEM .good movie on it
