What should i do next to start my Powermate generator 5000.

I have a Powermate PMO 435001, with a Subaru engine. NO spark. I replaced spark plug, cleaned the carburettor, disconnected the low-oil sensor, checked the gap between the coil and magnet. Still nothing.? (The generator has been sitting for a couple years.)

SOURCE: What type of oil for a Coleman 5000 Generator?

You need a quart of regular old SAE 5W30 motor oil with detergent.
The engines on these generators are more or less the same as a lawn mower.
Don't forget to service/change the air cleaner when you change the oil, that should keep your generator producing full power.

Regards,
Carl

Cleaning the carb bowl is not enough make sure you pull out the main jet and clean it out real good. If it starts with starting fluid then it is definitely a fuel problem.

The generator hasn't, been used in a while and is not cranking. Gas is getting to the spark plug and the plug is clean. What could be the issue?

How do i start a powermate 5000

choke it and pull the cord, if it has set for a long time, you may need to pull the spark plug and put a drop or 2 of gas in the cyilinder, reinstall the plug andwire and it should start.

Powermate 5000er 10 hp won't start no fire to the plug

Make sure that the generator is full of oil. It has a low oil level sensor that will ground the spark if the oil is low. If you have filled it to FULL with oil and still have the problem disconnect the low oil level sensor (one wire) and check for spark again. IF you now have spark the oil level sensor has either failed or is dirty. (yes you can clean them with carb cleaner.)

If after doing the above you still have no spark... I need 2 things.
1. the actual model number off of the generator Will start with PM or PMO
2. the engine model number / type / series number off of the engine

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

I bought a used coleman powermate 5000 generator, I replaced the spark plug and fuel filter, it finally started up,it would only run in the "choke" position it ran about 10 minutes and then shut down, I...

What brand of engine & horsepower is it?Also about how long was it stored or last time it was run? The reason I ask is if it was stored with gas in it & a fuel stabilizer wasn't added to it,your primary jet is plugged in the carburetor(reason it will only run while choked).

COLEMAN powermate 5000 generator w/a Subaru engine

Check the vent in the fuel cap to make sure its free to breath. It could be creating a vaccume in there and starveing for fuel. Maybe run it with the gas cap off and see if the problem gos away.
