Hello. I have a Generac 5000w generator with a
Doesn't look like anyone came close to answering this question correctly.While I realise I am answering a VERY old post, a correct answer may help others that come here in the future who are experiencing the same problem.The issue is with the starter clutch. It screws onto the crankshaft and works like a ratchet wrench. It allows the crankshaft to turn freely one way but "catches" if turned the oher.
Most people don't maintain them properly so it gets rusty inside and the bearings don't move like they are supposed to. Hence the clutch doesn't lock.
It's usually a pretty simple fix. Remove the flywheel cover, secure the flywheel so it doesn't turn then use a rubber mallet and a drift to loosen the clutch. It has normal threads so it turns counter clockwise. It should come loose pretty easily. Once off, look at the front of the clutch. There is a cover which is just pressed on. You should be able to get it loose with a hammer and small flat head screwdriver. Carefull you don't loose the bearings (there are 6) which are pretty large. Clean the whole thing out, removing any rust and debris.Then spray the inside with some lite machine oil (don't use grease or any other thick lubricant).
The shaft should have a piece of felt in the center of it. This should also be soaked with machine oil. To reassemble; place the washer and shaft back into the housing, then place a bearing in each "hole". Give it another shot of machine oil and press the cap back on.
Put it back on the engine and replace the cover. You should now have a workng starter. There is a small hole in the front of the clutch. You should periodicaly squirt some oil into it to keep the clutch lubricated.

I have a 18 hp briggs engine. no fire with coil
hi
I think that the problem you have is not with the coil.
let me explain : when there is the need to stop the engine simply we push a button or use a lever in both cases what it simply does the coil is grounded to earth this stops the spark supply to the spark plugs . find the cable which connect from the switch on to the coil because this cable
intermits to short to earth stopping the spark going to the spark plug ( replace cable this will prevent the engine to stopping )
