How do you replace the pull cord on a Powermate 5000 rated Watts on a generator

SOURCE: Powermate 5000

20kw means 20 KILOwatts (kilo=1000), so 20kw=20,000 watts
So the Powermate 5000 refers to wattage. 5000=5kw

SOURCE: I need a manual for the 5000 generator.

Go to www.colemanpowermate.com, click on portable generators,click on manuals at top of page.

you will need to know the exact model #, look on black plastic cover on the back of the generator.

SOURCE: Need to know about this

To find a manual for this generator go to powermate.com and search your model and serial number. Good luck!

actually, it sounds like the diodes are blown. Check our diodes.

As for checking stator, find the two wires, typically labeled L1 and L2 that are going to it. Measure with a multimeter. If there is no visual signs of damage, continuity can indicate a good stator. You should not have continuity between either wire and the stator frame.

The same goes for the rotor as well. The resistance measurements will not be the same for each one though.

Unfortunately, Powermate is out of business, and service information is scarce.
