I am a bit confused because the model you selected is for a electric dryer which should have a dedicated outlet/breaker only for the dryer I am going to assume it's a gas dryer and the trouble is with the outlet,to verify this plug a know working object into the outlet and see if it works Even if the part in the dryer part that cuts the circuit to the motor if it's bad(thermal fuse) has no bearing on the drum light and that should work if power to dryer
Colemans were known for losing what is known as "residual magnetism", especially when sitting for long periods of time without use. This residual magnetism is necessary for exciting the field to produce electricity. Here is what you can try: Plug a 110v drill into one of the 110 outlets. While the engine/generator is running, with an open hand (not fingers wrapped around it) spin the chuck while holding the drill trigger in the run position. Many times this small amount of current that will be produced by spinning the drill motor will restore the residual magnetism and excite the field. Keep in mind that if this works, the drill motor will begin to spin immediately since it is plugged into the outlet. Hope this helps.
Increase your idle setting on the 1/8" threaded rod protruding to the left of the carburetor until V= 125. Then run your drill. Actuating the drill should call the throttle solenoid to open up to produce more power.
Make sure that the alternator is being turned by the engine--sometimes the mechanical coupling fails. Check for a tripped breaker/blown fuse. Beyond checking for bad brushes (if used), you will need a wiring diagram and an AC/DC voltmeter/ohmmeter to chase out any troubles in the alternator. Be aware of voltages up to 230 volts can be found inside even if there is no output.
Sounds like a problem with the wiring of the outlets after the circuit breaksr. Take apart the outlet box and have a look for burned or broken wires, melted outlets, and/or small critters stuck in the wiring. I recently had to repair a generator that had its voltage regulator taken out by a frog! Regards, Carl
