If you haven't seen it yet,
here is a page that may help with a manual or parts list.
This problem sounds kind of bad, generators don't do well when the engine stops under load.
Start by checking the circuit breakers in the distribution box (outlet panel) - you need ot do this with an ohm meter. After that check the power windings of the stator with the ohm meter, be sure to check between the 2 windings (should be open), and from each one to ground with the winding isolated.
Whining, a burning varnish smell, and breakers that trip all the time are indicators of long term overload problems. This could happen if you had most of the load on one winding for a significant amount of time, or if the one winding mostly powered motor-like loads with high startup currents.

I bought a PowerMax XP4400E, The first time used I ran it for about 5 hours with no problem, I shut if down to refuel restarted it and the motor ran but it had no power. I checked the electrical connections behind the control panel found several loose and replaced the fuse holder with a better one then started it up and everything seemed fine. The next time I used it was the same result. It ran fine for 5-6 hours I shut down to refuel and when I started it, again it ran fine but no power.

I have a Coleman 6250 There was a major ice storm in the NE December 11, 2008. My Coleman 6250 ran fine for about 30hours then it stopped generating. I did not overload it . The reset buttons are fine but I have no power?
