Hi there,
Check the air cleaner to make sure that it isn't clogged with oil. If you find any significant amount of oil you may also need to clean the carb. Also check the spark plugs for fouling. Once you're convinced that the engine has no service related issues, check the governed throttle setting. To do this find the spring that pulls on the governor arm and look for either a tab to bend up or a threaded rod to tighten at the end of the spring not connected to the governor arm.
Regards,
Carl

How do you flash a Coleman Powermate 3500 generator? Runs fine; no electrical output

See some of my responses to other peoples generator problems.
If you have no or very little electrical output, then you have overloaded the generator by placing a demand for too many amps from too many appliances for the size of the generator. You will have blown a capacitor, resistor, or similar item. Someone with a good electrical background will need to diagnose the problem and find the blown part.

Your generator produces proper voltage and 60 cycles at 3600 rpm. Use meter to adjust voltage/engine rpm. If after adjusting rpm setting and gen. does not have proper power, remove cover to generator and examine brushes and commutator rings for wear and voltage regulator/rectifier for burned components swolen or leaking capacitor and replace parts as necessary. Parts are available www.jackssmallengine.com Good luck

I was running two sawzalls on my pmo43350 coleman generator .Now it stopped producing electricity. the engine runs great but no juice to outlets. ithink i overloaded it.

You may have overloaded it, and it may have been damaged.

Check your circuit breakers first. If there was an overload, they should have tripped if overload was long enough in duration and high enough in capacity.

If the breakers are good, then check your diodes and capacitor regulator in the end of the alternator. While you are here, check your brushes as well.

Do you have a manual for your generator?

Runs great but will not produce electricity

To flash the excitor circuit on a coleman ( the generator is built by generac) you need a 12 volt battery. You quickly apply 12 volts via your 120vac recepticals. NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SECONDS! Then check you ac voltage. Most of the time the brushes are burnt up when voltage is low. Check the brushes first. You can access them by taking the end cap off of the generator via two to four screws. The brush holder is easy to spot, two wires leading to the front of the amature. Hope this solves your problem.

Engine runs but won't generate any electricity

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!
