Great find 👍and thanks for the vid helped out with my old Powermate👍😀

damn awesome find. i found 2000 watt needed a carb clean. lol . some people don't care to fix thing. good for me.

Good job, just a suggestion, when you had the cover off, lube the needle bearing i n the case. Best regards, Bob

Nice. It's always fun when you can get something for free or a few bucks, fix it and either use it or sell it. Nice job.

Nice find.

Great score finding it on the side of the road. Also, a great video showing what you found and the repair you made. it's great you got it producing power. Now, just a observation from the video. The Tecumseh 10 HP needs exhaust valve work. From what I heard, there was a lot of popping from the exhaust and the generator was rocking back and forth on it's rubber mounts. This is a very common problem (exhaust valve) with the Tecumseh engines. I would suggest to you that you lap the valves and reset the clearance before you run it when it's needed most (power failure) and the exhaust valve burns up (fails to seat). At that point, the repair gets expensive. I am not knocking anything here. Just a observation. I look for generators sitting on the side of the road. You SCORED!!!!!!!!. Me, not so lucky,,,,,,,,,

Is there any way you could take a video of the wiring on the control panel

Is there a voltage regulator on that unit? Mine runs about 138 volts.

There was a recall on the gas tanks on units 1999 and earlier- leakage. Would be nice to get that voltage down to at least 122v- above that starts to shorten the life of some appliances/motors.

I’m changing out the diode and capacitor on same model. Still no voltage output but I didn’t take note of where to hook the wires up on the diode. Could you comment on here where to put the wires? Thanks.

Should there be 120 or 240 volts ac across the brushes even if there is a problem in the board? It is an easy place to check.

I know this is an older vid but could you show how the rectifer is wired in and where you got 6 for 12 bucks.

I was hoping to find out where to adjust the voltage. Mine only 180 V output with no load. Need 230 V, but where to adjust it?

Hey dude great score! but it has one more issue when you cranked it the engine and generator shook way too much. One of the rubber attachments is broken or is worn out. check 4:57 to see what i am referring too. then check your engine mounts. congratulations on the great find and fix.

Great Find,,Crank that engine speed just a bit to 61.5 Hertz, You cant do anything about the voltage with no regulator. Sound good with choke open.

Wow that great gen, but wow its a loud one...

Por favor que tipo de aceite y cantidad entra en el generador

I have one of these 5000w Colmans that has (2) 110v and (2) 220v and (2) Circuit Breaker Buttons. I just lost the 220v side. No Circuit breaker tripped.

Your generator needs a tune up! Running rough.

Needs a carb cleaning...will be sweet after that!!!

What does max er mean on generator

How much is the generator Coleman 10hp 5000watt

Where is the number of spark plug for these generator?

Este generador no prende hace 10 años que debo hacer para arrancarlo

Sorry didn't see it to the end.

Can you please post the vendor for the rectifiers.

Is this generator brushless and capacitor type?

could have soldered on a wire.

That carb is hurt! Clean that thing out

France

That generator wobbles a lot🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨,

You have to be careful with these generators in order for them to make120 volts of power the engine must be turning out of steady 3600 RPMthe only reason why the generator would be making more than a hundred and twenty volt is that the engine is turning faster than 3600 RPM this causes it also to make like 70 cycles instead of 60 cycle power

Traduce en español

Thats called a capacitor

What a loud noisy miserable generator no wonder it broke engine runs like crap
