Generator has been running steady for 2 weeks. It will not start now. It has spark, gas is good, oil is good. It is a 5000 coleman powermate electric generator. Did it die due to a 2 week running? It won't turn over.

If it doesnt turn over how did you test the spark?

if i have read it wrong then always try a new spark plug, these can fail under compression but will spark happily outside the cylinder.
if it wont turn over then it could be siezed or dropped a valve.

How do i start a powermate 5000

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 tried to start my new coleman powermate 6250/5000,

Do check the oil after it has tried to start. Low oil cutoff would certainly cause the problem. Look for the "lost" fuel shutoff valve... there usually is one.

I have a coleman powermate generator 5000 in from 2006. Has never been started. I tried to start, filled the oil/gasoline and It would not start. What can I do beside's taking it in for service.

Remove the air cleaner and spray some starting fluid into the carb. If it starts then ok if not then remove the spark plug and check for spark.
