Coleman Powermate 7500 watt 12 H.P. generator mod.# pm0116000.
This generator has very low hours, the engine runs perfectly but the generator will not produce any electrical power from the outlets.
It ran fine a couple of times, it’s alomost brand new and there was no incidents where I can say a problem would of occured.

Experienced athletes share their insights in answering this question:
Sometimes the generator loses the magnetic field that allows it to produce power. Do a Google search on “flashing a generator field”. There are many ways to do it, but I would recommend doing some reading before trying it. Your “dead” generator could produce hazardous voltage once it comes back to life.Also, before trying any of this, make sure the circuit breakers on the generator (if equipped) are not tripped.Good luck and be careful!
How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
Why does your generator not produce any power / voltage? The most common causes of a generator producing no power are the loss of residual magnetism in the alternator and a failed AVR or another excitation component. If the voltage is around 50-70V on each phase, then it is likely the AVR needs replacement.
Possible causes for the engine running but the generator not putting out power are: Overloading has caused the alternator to cut out. An electrical fault, e.g. damage to the stator, a short circuit or a loose wiring connection. A problem with the capacitor.
In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins/rotates the rotor shaft of a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.
Feeding power back into the electrical system during an outage will energise the transformer serving your house. This is an electrocution hazard for Energex or Ergon Energy line crews and for your neighbours. If power is restored while your generator is backfeeding, it may severely damage the generator.
Standby generators use one of two fuel sources: propane or natural gas. Natural gas units can keep running indefinitely, because their fuel will almost certainly outlast the outage.
In theory, standby generators will run indefinitely or for however long fuel is supplied to the generator. Most standby generators are fueled by natural gas (NG) and, thus, there is no need for a fuel tank since there is an endless supply of NG from your utility company.
If you are running too much equipment on too small of a generator, the generator may shut down in order to avoid putting too much stress on your appliances. The only way to remedy a loss of power due to overload is to shut off the generator, reduce the load by unplugging unneeded appliances, and restart the generator.
To restore the small amount of residual magnetism necessary to begin voltage buildup, connect a 12 volt battery with a current limiting device to the exciter field while the generator is at rest, as follows: 1. Remove exciter field leads F+ and F- from the voltage regulator.
A regular AC induction motor usually can be used as a generator, without any internal modifications.
Most jet engines are powered by an open Brayton cycle. Ambient air is brought in and compressed. Then, it`s heated with fuel and expanded through a turbine. That turbine can then mechanically operate a generator to produce electricity (if you`re ground-based), or thrust (if you`re on an aircraft).
On average, a standby generator can run for up to 3,000 hours powering a medium-sized home, though it is recommended you do not run a generator for longer than 500 hours continuously.
Running Out of Gas is Risky and Damaging to Your Portable Generator. Portable gas-powered generators should not be left to run until they are out of fuel. Allowing your generator to put out significant power until it runs out of fuel can be damaging to your generator, and possibly some of the appliances in your home.
A generator does require a battery. Batteries are the most critical, but often forgotten, part of a diesel genset. Without a battery your backup power source will not even turn on and will be unable to provide the electricity you need at critical times.
You can also charge the starter batteries of your vehicle (car, RV, etc.) using a generator (and obviously a battery charger). If you have an off-grid setup in your home or cabin and rely on batteries, solar, and/or a generator, then you can recharge those batteries with the help of a generator.
A generator has various components, including an engine, an alternator, a fuel system, a voltage regulator, cooling and exhaust systems, a lubrication system, a battery charger, a control panel, and a frame or main structure. The generator`s engine is what creates mechanical energy.
A generator without gas: What does it typically run on? Fuelless power generators can typically run on renewable sources such as solar, wind, and water. For example, a fuel less solar power harnesses the power of the sun to provide electricity.
A 20kW generator will run most house receptacles, lights, and up to a 5-ton central air conditioner.
Home standby generators and most portable generators can supply either 120 volts or 240 volts and do it at the same time. Different voltages make it important to understand why we rate generators in watts. In terms of capacity, it is the power in watts that matters.
If your generator cranks but won`t start, this suggests a fuel supply problem. Start with the primary fuel filter and make sure it is clean. Next, check for air in the fuel supply. You can do this by opening the bleed fitting on top of the secondary fuel filter or on top of the injection pump.
Battery failure is the most common generator issue. Batteries wear down with age, providing less and less power as time goes on. Knowing the service life of your generator`s battery will ensure you know to replace it before it stops working.
Loss of residual magnetism may be caused by the generation being out of use for a while, having a connected load when the generator is shut off, running your generator for too long with no load, or if your generator is new, it could have lost residual magnetism from long distance transportation vibration.
A turbine is used to rotate the magnet in the generator.
An electric motor does the opposite of an electric generator. Instead of turning mechanical energy into electricity, an electric motor takes electricity and converts it into mechanical energy.
A Primer on Electric Motors
The two major types of electric motors are: AC motors, which are powered by alternating current. DC motors, which are powered by direct current.

I have a Kohler Condidant 5 Generator that will run as long as you hold the start button in. It dies when you let off. I have a harness for the remote switch but no switch – It also will start the generator when you cross the red and black wire and run as long as you hold them together. There are 3 wires to the main switch and 5 to the remote switch. Does the starter stay engaged the whole time you hold the start switch or does the computer release the starter once it is running? The Generator is producing electricity because I tested it while holding the start button. Some where is a wire that shold tell it to keep running. I have read online many descriptions of the same problem, most are told the board is bad so they replace it and still have the problem. Have not found a solution. Talked to a marine machanic today and he said he fixed his friends generator doing the same thing by running a bypass wire but he couldnt remember exactly what he did it was a long time ago. Can anyone help me. Thank you
ANSWER : The problem is either the ballast resistor or the starter bypass relay. The bypass relay should be part of the starter solenoid. I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly where the ballast resistor is located. It should be a physically fairly large resistor made of ceramic. It should be retangular roughly 1.5″-3″ long and 3/8″-1/2″ accross with a wire on each end. It could also be a coil of wire mounted on a phenolic board.

I have a 2004 60 hp yamaha 2 stroke outboard engine that doesn’t start or run well. Once warm and in the water it will idle in nuetral and also in gear. It accelerates in neutral but will die or lack power if I increase throttle while in gear. Engine will somtimes get to top speed but often while running at top speed engine will start to slow rapidly. Engine has full range of operationout when out of the water where there is no load on engine but is still difficult to cold start. Before these recent problems the engine sat up for several months and I had to change the impeller and spark plugs. Spark plugs fire, cylinders have proper pressure of 100, 100, and 110. I cleaned some fuel lines and filters and got new gas.
ANSWER : Every sympton you are describing here can be attributed to fuel starvation due to blocked jets and or water in carbs, when your engine dies does it die with dry plugs, or wet oily ones?

I have a 99 yamaha f100 four stroke outboard. Problem I have is boat will acclereate fine get up on plane and after running for about a mob at wot will decell and only run around 4500 rpm. Then after coming back to idle will have a slight miss then run smooth and repeat every run. Changed the plugs and fuel filters alll oe yamaha has fresh oil timing belt is good any ideas will help or fuel psi spec. I am an ase master automotive tech so I know alot about engs. To me it feels like it’s running out of gas. Like the carb bows are full when I take off but then runs out after running wot. Any info will help
ANSWER : I have exactly the same problem with my Yamaha F100, have you got any solutions yet?

LX 188. Engine suddenly dies. The fluel in the bowel of the fuel filter is empty. If I crank the engine the filter becomes dry and is collapsing some but the engine does not start. When I remove the supply line from the fuel pump to the carberator and crank the enginge there is a strong stream of gas being pumped out. I tap on the carberator ??? is the float is hung not allowing fuel to enter. Cranking the engine with the line off refills the bowel of the gas filter. Reattache line to the carberator===engine starts. Ran perfect for 20minutes then suddenly died. Repeated all the above and engine again started. What to do to fix this? Thanks
ANSWER : Debrie inside the needle and seat area which has to be cleaned out with carburetor cleaner and compressed air
