Thank you Andrea! Glad to assist you in any of your lawn-mower-fixing needs.

@raymondgarafano8604 3 года назад

Hello Andrea, I think it is cool you are into engines and what they work to make our lives easier, specially gener8orz after a bad storm. It seems like we have a "Throw- a-way society, stuff not made to last like it should. I find it a challenge and figure if it has any kind of compression, it's worth a shot of being worked on. Take care!

Actually, if you have no continuity through a winding, that would mean it’s open, not shorted. A short would show continuity between two sets of windings.

@tsand5452 Год назад

My generator was left out in the rain and quit putting out power. All was rusted. I cleaned up the rust but still no power. After watching your video, doing all the tests, I excited the armature. I had to have the engine running though because I did not get that spark when it was not running. When it was running I did get a spark and the generator works perfect. I really appreciate your guidance. Learned a lot. Great video and job Taryl. Tim

Taryl, I was checking other Colmans, I saw one with two groups of wires, a black and white wire for each group. the guy checked the continuity, he had continuity between the black and white wires. I have a lot of respect for U and ur fearless crew and did not want to see u trash a geny that could still be good,

@richardscott3724 2 года назад

Excellent video! Thanks, Taryl! On the continuity test for the rotor, I was getting about .36 with the meter intermittent positive reading - but not really as well as the housing test which was great. I either get a good rotor or take it off and look to fix it. Before the next big outage!

@raymondgarafano8604 3 года назад

A good idea is to put a car headlite in series so no more than headlight current will go through the field, which draws less than a headlight, also if u accidentally short the nails together, you won't have a direct short, u just get headlamp brighter. Taryl, I am SO glad I found ur spot on the interskreen. I've learned a lot from you and your sidekicks!.

@johncantrell614 2 года назад

A minor thing, but it would be a good idea if you use any of those piercing type test leads on those wires, is to cover those holes you made in the insulation with epoxy of some sort. Those holes will allow dirt or humidity and moisture to come inside, and start causing corrosion.

@jerrypeal653 5 лет назад

I flashed mine by plugging in a 1/2 “ drill plugged it in with generator running pulled the trigger and spun the chuck backwards worked great!

@facereader99 2 года назад

Thanks Taryl - that was mighty helpful!

@raymondgarafano8604 3 года назад

Taryl, the fact that there are no skinny ropes on the windings broken or signs of overheating means it is most like a GOOD generator. The yellow wires are for the EXCITER which makes the spinning part which is a spinning FIELD and it turns into a powerful magnet, so that means U have to have good brushes. Colman uses a black AND white wire to connect to the ends of the STATOR. If there was a SHORT, it would be evidenced by a darker coil color and burned ropes or twine. Disclaimer, no racial unkindness is meant here. SO use ur meter on the black and white wires and I am VERY SURE you will find you have a good generator.

For flashing, the drill trick works good too.. If all tests passed, generator running, smallest corded electric drill you own, squeeze trigger, spin motor backwards by hand and it should spin back towards you and start working... great video..

I own a 1992 circa Coleman 4.4KW engine generator with 8 HP B&S engine and when the winding failed I wrote a letter to Colman and after I gave Coleman the information they asked for they gave me replacement parts for free. I still have the engine generator in working condition today so sometimes it pays to write the people who made the equipment because they may help you out

Awesome, Found broken wire in the rotor, repaired it, reassembled, flashed slip rings/rotor. Still not producing power. Double checked everything and reflashed rotor several times, still no power. Tried applying 12v to brushes while generator running, output jumped up to around 60v then to 120v when I removed the 12v, plugged 500w flood light into both recepticles and it continued to put out 120 volts

@raymondgarafano8604 4 года назад

In these alternators, the fixt winding or winding that does not move is known as a stator pronounced by some as st8tor, spinning part is rotor, Taryl, some rotors have permanent magnets attached to help start generating. The rotors had some residual field to them but as u sed sometimes have to flash the field. St8or coils with yellow leads were the exciter winding, they went to some diode/s to turn a.c. to d.c. to then go to the brushes. the AVR auto voltage regulator sends current to brushes. if output volts are say 130, the AVR sends less current to brushes and volts go back to 120. voltage goes down to say 110, AVR sends more current to brushes and volts go to 120.hope it helps friend, you really are a friend, I appreciate the work you put into your videoze, say hi to ur kats 4me?

@mmikegtp 7 лет назад

I tested continuity on the slipper rings, and I tested for it on the wires in the connector ging to the panel on the exterior with the outlets. All seem fine. I have a Powermate 5000 as well, but it is newer than the ones in this video. In the cover where the brushes are, I have just a bridge rectifier board and none of the other components. I cannot get more than 2 VAC out of the outles. I magnetized at the brushed terminals as well. My generator has two yellow wires coming from the big coil that feeds into the bridge rectifier board. I unplug that board and start the engine and I am only getting just under 2VAC at the end of those two yellow wires at the clip. I also ohmed out the slipper rings and it gives me a 38ohm reading... I am stumped, any ideas?

This is really good video! I have one with me and it is PM3500 model. when I checked voltage output with the multimeter, the reading go back and forth between 10 V and 121v. when I am using a power drill, It runs smoothly. Is this normal to this model?

@Slowpoke5055 7 лет назад

Good job, Great tips. Just one question. Why don't you have some style of hoist in your shop? Especially for the riding mowers.

@1972tobymac 9 дней назад

Ok the second armature you had where the brushes ride on there on mine it's rougher then a cob so when I replace the brushes and with in 10-12 hours of run time it eats the brushes my question is can I replace what looks like bearings where the brushes mount

@SKDIONYSUS 5 лет назад

Hey Taryl, my coleman tecumseh engine runs fine but the power output drops to zero then back up then back to zero then up again while under load. What do I check for to regulate this probken?

@f150bft 2 года назад

The armature rings where the brushes ride I have a tone on my meter but it is only when I move the meter tips around and even then it is fuzzy sounding, not a good tone. Thoughts?

@raymondgarafano8604 3 года назад

I'd be so pleased if you went between the blk an wht wires with the meter, u'd find u have a good generator, I have seen these gens with 2 groups of wires a black and white per group. the yellow wires are for the exciter circuit at goes to a capacitor a rectifier or set of diodes then to the brushes. ALSO Taryl, if the windings were bad or shorted, they would be DIS-COLORED Also the rotor with the slip rings is supposed to have a little bit of magnetism to it, that makes a small a.c. voltage at the yellow wires, that small a.c. voltage goes to the capacitor then to the rectifier to send D.C. to the sliprings and making the rotor a more powerful magnet to make more power.

@Slowpoke5055 6 лет назад

Thank you. It does help.

@kentvinson649 4 года назад

This is the first time I've posted a comment on RU-vid because there is info on this video that will incorrectly lead someone to think their generator is bad. That part that shows him checking the 2 white and 2 black wires on the field windings and him saying there should be continuity between them is incorrect. Having no continuity is the way it should be. There SHOULD BE CONTINUITY between one of the black wires and one of the white wires and then the other remaining black and white wire. I was pretty sure this was correct, but I waited to get my generator back running to make 100% sure before I posted this. My problem was the capacitor. Not trying to be contrary just to be aggravating, just trying to save someone from thinking their generator is bad.

@lciummo1 4 года назад

Bingo. There should be small resistance between B-W on each coil - the two stator windings, And a small resistance on the yellow. Black to black should be open, and I think whiles are connected together.

@donburgess3703 8 лет назад

Can u tell me where does the ground wire go from compacitor does it go to brush or the dieo on a 5000 watt Colman power mate.

@aboveaveragejoe6291 4 года назад

Some folks might need a drink to do that 😂

@JFinch57 Год назад

For the field wires on a Coleman Vertex 7500I have 2 connectors. One, yellows with one blue. Have continuity between the 2 yellows. Other connector, 2 blacks measuring open. Looks like I need a field coil?

@btwbrand Год назад

The field windings each have a high temperature fuse that breaks the field circuit to avoid the windings catching fire if there is a shorted field or if the user is overloading the generator. This fuse does not reset because engineers figure if they blow this fuse it's better it never work again than to give the user another chance to cause a fire. This fuse can be replaced with one that resets once it cools down, or even be bypassed completely, but may result in a fire. The fuse is wired next to the fields so they will get hot and is usually underneath an insulating wrap or sleeve ( orange sleeve on the older working generator as an example) The same type of fuse is found in many consumer electronics that use an electric motor including fans.

@ChickenSandwich69 Год назад

The first had 120v and 240v so it has 2 sets of windings. I don't know your model but it resembles mine. Here is the correct ohm to wire resistance values. Make sure you use a decent DVOM. I used a Harbor freight and registered .3 ohms across every thing. I used my Snap-n lab scope and The values were right on. Capacitor is listed as 100mfd at 200 volts. Replacement part is listed as 220mfd at 200 volts. Rotor resistance for the 52-54 4000 watt units should be between 30 and 31 ohms. Models 52 to 54 4000 Watt stator resistances should be black to white (1) 0.505 to 0.525 black to white (2) 0.505 to 0.525 yellow to blue (1) 1.05 to 1.15 yellow to blue (2) 1.05 to 1.15 yellow to yellow 2.1 to 2.3 All portable generators manufactured by Coleman Powermate, Inc. use the following standardized wire color-coding: Power Windings B-Black B/W-Black with white tracer stripe Excitation R-Red Y-Yellow (diodes) Blu-Blue (Capacitor) Ground G-Green Neutral W-White W/B-White with black tracer stripe Battery Charger O-Orange Idle Control O-Orange

@meTimetraveler Год назад

Hi Taryl just wanted to say that the yellow and black windings that do NOT have continuity are NOT shorted, they are NOT shorted they are open. if working properly they should show a short from one end of the winding to the other with a small resistance. Granted they could be shorted to another winding which is what caused them to open, but as you showed them, they are open.

@alanmccooker7829 4 года назад

I have a Coleman Powermate 5000 Maxa ER Plus maybe 12yrs old. It was used once by my nephew and when I got it back it wouldn't put any power out of plugs. I've checked everything you said to but haven't flashed it yet. And I'm curious where is the AVR?

@michaelmckellar7620 4 года назад

Great info and Funny stuff! I like it. I do have a question. I have a Homelite 4000. It doesn't produce power unless I take my wife's old hair drier and turn it on. If I am just trying to run 3 lights in my camper it won't energize. Since it works when I use the drier or kick on the coffee maker it's not a problem. But I wonder why I can't start the generator and recharge the camper battery with its charger or have all the lights in the trailer on and charge our cell phones until I hit it with a good load on it. Once its charging it produces power with a single cell phone charger. Something keeps it from energizing until it gets a pretty good draw. Thanks!

Taryl your the MAN ! Been a dedicated viewer for a long time and you helped me alot. I'm looking at a 19 hp Kawasaki mounted on a John Deere z-turn mower. It maybe 10 yrs old not sure. Problem is when the engine is cold, it starts pretty well BUT after it runs a while and you shut it off you have to crank and crank on it for it to start again. Do you or anyone have any suggestions ? When it runs it runs great, but after it gets warm and you shut it down you have to crank the crap out of it to restart. Help please.

@TarylFixesAll 8 лет назад

+Keith Evans Try this Spray carb. or startin fluid in it when its hot & won't start. If it does start then you know its a fuel issue probably fuel pump or that solenoid on the carb. If it doesn't start next I would check spark & compression.

@tonyplumb9093 8 лет назад

Hey Tim.... Been experiencing a lot of ignition problems with Stihl lately... First a 441 now a 362.... Both came in with customer complaint of no spark when hot... Replaced the coil on the 441, basically because there is no definitive way to trouble shoot it... Worked fine, back again with same complaint... 362 cuts like a champ, made a dozen cuts in an 18" diameter log, never missed a beat... Not really expecting a diagnosis over the net, but are there any characteristic ignition probs n these saws that you are aware of Thanks, T

@salreyes3215 3 года назад

On my field windings the while and black check ok but no continuity on the yellow ones? It the windings bad?

@raymondgarafano8604 4 года назад

Hello Taryl, There are a few different ways these st8ors are or can be wound, Some put the ends of the two 120 volt windings together to 1 white or gray wire. with a black at 1 end and a blue or red at the other end. across the black, red or blue is 240 volts, but either black, red or blue to the white or gray will give the 120 volts. Some have a white wire for each 120 volt winding. If u check resistance to both white wires and black an red or dark colored wires are not hooked to a load, you will think you have a bad generator when you don't. Champion power equip. is good. u can get manual for gen on line w wiring schematic ( not a scream in the attic) Sometimes the white which is called a neutral is connected to frame as well as the ground. if u have a bad appliance plugged in an touch frame of gener8or u might seriously get to know it. that is known as a 'Bonded neutral' So my friend and I mean that in thanks for ur great vids, b4 st send a generator to the electric chair, at least look online for the diagram and u may find u have a good st8or after all.

@raymondgarafano8604 4 года назад

Taryl, If there is NO continuity, it means there is an 'OPEN' The rotating part is the 'FIELD' the windings in the square part is the stator. In a starter motor, the part that turns is the armature, with many windings and brass segments called the commutator.

@joshgolden8267 4 года назад

Ok have a question on the. Colman powermate maxa 5000er generator yellow .black .white have continuity. Not my two that the brushes are riding on ? What do I got to do to it .? Thank you

@joshgolden8267 4 года назад

@raymondgarafano8604 4 года назад

Taryl, next time u get a generator fixt, measure d.c. volts across the brushes. This way u will know what field voltage should be on THAT gener8or, so when/or if it craps out, u will know what the field voltage is a.k.a. power to the brushes. Also check a.c. volts on what might be two yellow wires, most likely exciter windings this way and ohms as well, if gen will not put out u can get a good idea by checking ohms now to what they were when she was putting out.

@pl747 3 года назад

What IS that blue wire for? Some of these Coleman 5000 generators don't have it. The ones with the two diodes in the bottom of the rear housing do. The ones with the bridge rectifier don't.

@raymondgarafano8604 3 года назад

YUP, the ylw wires are for excitation they'd go to an AVR or a generator capacitor and a rectifier to brushes. I really think the stator coils were black and white for 1 winding, and the same for the other winding if it was a 120/240 volts generator.

@ferreveryday5899 4 года назад

I was having this exact issue with my Coleman’s PowerMate 6250 when running there was 0 V DC or AC on the two brushes so I took a 12 V battery and flashed it making sure to pay attention to the polarity after that there was 160 V across the brush screws and 160v at the receptacles that are supposed to be 120 V, I could smell an electrical burning smell so I went to turn the generator off and right before I heard a large pop I’m assuming the capacitor is what exploded due to the high voltage but I’m curious as to why I had 160 V across the excitation coil where the brushes are?

@lciummo1 4 года назад

The correct voltage should be about 170 volts. If you think of the AC as a sine wave, the "peak" of each wave is 170v above the 0. The wave goes +170+ to -170. If you have an RMS meter, it would should 120VAC. If you don't have an RMS meter, take the voltage of 170 and divide by square root of 2 . So 170/1.414 = 120. BTW, if you're voltage is 160, the governor is running the generator a bit slow. Caps are rated for very high voltages, but they still dry or short out. Get the units off the cap and buy one at an electronics shop - should be a few $.
