Older (1990) Coleman generator support

I have a 1990 vintage 4000 watt Coleman generator powered by an 8 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. It was designed as a "work" (tools, lights, etc.) generator, not computers, flat screen TV's, etc.

Word on the street around here is there is Coleman dropped parts and service support for the generator end. Can anybody comment on this? It seems to be a pretty simple generator, I just bought it foe emergency lighting, etc. in event of a power outage.


I don't currently have any problems, just invertigating in case I need parts support.


Thanks,

Bill.
 
Google is your friend. Friend just got a free Honda generator of likely the same vintage. Google and Amazon may spark it back to life. Amazing what info and parts are available. HTH
 
I have 90's vintage 4 kw Coleman at our summer cottage. It was was struck by lightning and disabled about 15 years ago. It fried everything inside the end bell - circuit breakers, receptacles, a pair of diodes, a capacitor and the brushes.

Replacement circuit breakers and receptacles I found at the local hardware. Radio Shack had suitable diodes and the capacitor. And I was able to match the shattered brushes at the local starter/alternator shop.

I polished the slip rings, then put it all back together and reflashed the field; the generator has been working like a champ ever since.

So aside from the rotor and the stator - which mine survived a lightning strike(!) - pretty much everything that can go wrong inside the generator (including the needle bearing) is available generically. I'd not be too concerned.
 

Get the model and serial number and do an internet search. Chances are there are IPLs and service parts available.
 
Type in Coleman generator parts on google and stand aside. Actually Jacks small engine handles most parts. Our Coleman power mate from back then only needed motor mounts which they didn?t have. Looks like they have quite a lot of replaceable parts available. Good hunting!
