Generator first time used has beeen sittn aound for a while......starts up running find power turns on for a bit then the power stops producing???? engine still runs tho is it the compastor thats ****????

Did you get this fixed? this is an old post. If not visit www,advanced-power-technologies.com (Cert Cummins Dealers) They can answer your questions.

There should be a gasket inside the cap. If that is missing, get a replacement cap.

Try to continue to plug the charger but also press and hold the power and home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until you see the ipod restart.

THAT SOUNDS like a VERY LEAN condition. The exhause glowing is because its so lean. The stalling the sputtering. OPEN the gas valve more WHILE its running. With a load if possible.. If you have a tri fuel kit like I do, going from propane to nat gas I need to open the load block (gas valve) 2 turns more .Then it starts and runs great.

clean tank fuel lines air filter and completely clean all carb parts and jets just did mine runs mint now did the same thing i also put in a new spark plug changed the oil a good once over goes a long way just take your time use a good carb cleaner like crc or gumout and check the jets they have small holes on the sides that can clog up hope this helps

It may be old fuel and the spark plug is fouled.

There is a problem with fuel flow or carbueration. I would look for plugged fuel filter (sometimes within the gas tank, or a stuck float level, or possibly even plugged jets..

Check for low oil or over temp.

Johnny,

If generators are not used regularly, they need the their magnetic field to be charged (or flashed). This can be done by plugging an electric motor into the socket while the generator is running and spin the motor by hand. The hand-spun motor will push some electric current back into the generator and magnetize it enough to start it.

Look in the manual. There is likely something about field flashing the magnetic field. The easiest way to do this is to.
1) start the generator
2) plug an electric drill into the generator (without drill bit)
3) make sure drill is set to forward direction (if a reversable drill.
4) pull the trigger on the drill.
5) If the drill does not start, spin the drill's chuck clockwise (When looking down at the chuck from the drill bit end). Spin counter-clockwise if holding it like a pistol and pointing away from yourself.
6) Do this several times (hard) until the the generator will kick in and suddenly make the drill spin at full speed.
Be careful not to drop the drill or poke someone with it as you celebrate success.

Have Generator McCullough FG 6000 was running fine motor still running fine than NO power output, any suggestions ?? Can you get replacement parts and repair diagram off the interent ??
