Coleman Powerbase 4000 Manual
I have a Coleman Powermate Powerbase 4000 Extended Run Plus Generator. (maybe 20 years old) for emergency uses only. The generator has always run the appliances in my house.

Coleman Powermate Powerbase 4000 -no AC Need Field test procedur I have a Coleman Powermate Powerbase 4000 Extended - Coleman Powermate Premium Plus 6250W question. Dec 22, 2013 - I can't find any manuals for that part. I have the Coleman/Powermate manuals that show various parts but this seems to be considered part of.
Last winter, after a freakish snowstorm, the generator would start my water pump (large starting power drain), but after the third day, the generator would not kick the well pump (maybe a 1 HP pump) even with ALL other appliances off the generator. The one fluorescent light that was on near the breaker boxes would go severely dim or almost out when the pump breaker (in the house) was thrown on. A friend suggested that it was NOT the house GFI breaker since the pump works fine when power was restored. He said it might be the generator breaker. The generator was checked after the snowstorm and both regular and peak power measured as labelled. 905 Answers SOURCE: Well, its not exactly a published procedure, but this is what I would do.
Check field for continuity between leads, as well as continuity from each lead to the core. Between leads, you should have continuity, but you shouldn't be able to measure anything (perhaps in megohm range) between leads and core. Once you have continuity, check your diode. You should have continuity in one direction only. If not, replace diode. Don't worry about capacitor / regulator at this moment.
Check stator winding for continuity between leads, (don't forget the 12 volt winding too), as well as between each lead and the core. You should not have continuity to the core from any lead. Make sure breakers are reset, then check continuity through them. Should have it, replace if not. Same goes for the outlet itself. Reassemble the engine, and start it.
Check for a DC voltage at the 12volt battery charger port. If you have it, then your capacitor / regulator is shot. If you don't have it, replace the diode (even if checked good) and the capacitor / regulator. If still don't have 120vac, you can try to flash the field by momentarily touching a small lamp battery (6 volt lantern) to the core, and to one of the brushes. Just for a moment. Then restart.
Exact flashing instructions are usually in the user manual. Posted on Jun 12, 2010. Well, its not exactly a published procedure, but this is what I would do.
