I have a Porter Cable Generator 5250 Watt, BS1525-W. My dogs ate the wires now I don't know what to do with the one red wire and te two black wires coming out of the engine switch. Anyone have any suggestions?

Problem starting Porter Cable 5250, BSI525-W, Type 2
Switched spark plug, used starting fluid, acts like it wants to start and then just shuts down. Thinking of changing oil since that is the only thing left I can think of. Oil level sensor may be causing a problem?? Oil level appeared normal prior to starting but now the oil has taken on a liquidy muddy appearance.
Anyone have this problem with this generator before?

model# BS525-W one circuit is pulsating while the other is steady. what is likely to be wrong? please identify parts needed if possible.

how does it wire up? what does the red and black wire hock to?

I pulled the recoil starter rope about 6 times. The engine did not fire. On the next pull, the engine would not turn. I played with it for a while, just jiggling it back and forth. Then it just would not move at all. It is beyond my expertise, but I would like to separate the engine from the generator to make it easier to transport to a mechanic. I also can't locate the model, type, or code; I found a 13 digit no. but don't know what it represents.

Thanks

The engine running great, but I do not get electricity to the receptacle. What should I check?

What is probable cause of a total loss of generator output voltage?

I use my generator to run my 230v 10gpm well pump. When I plug the pump in, voltage drops from 230 to 93 and amperage goes up to 14-15 when spec should be 230 v and 11.4 amps. I suspect the capacitor in the rear of the generator case that has the red leads connected to it. The markings are not visible so I would like to know if I am correct and what the capacitor value is.

What type and grade of oil do I use? I purchased this used but it had never been run and does not have oil in it.

The engine runs fine but I have no power at the receptacles. The breakers are not tripped and I have performed the re-excitement procedure. Any ideas on what to check next?

BS1515-W-2 The on-off gas valve leaked and a local store told me I also would have to replace the rubber piece which is inserted into the base of the gas tank when I replaced the valve. I did this, but a year later the rubber piece which is inserted into the base of the gas tank just popped out. I need to replace it again but cannot find the part or the part number. Can you help me? Thank you.

What kind of oil do you put into the generator? Dip stick indicates low - what kind of oil do I replace it with?

Engine runs, but generator does not work. What can i do?

the generator works, but the design is bad. the gas tank has a heat shield that does not have a rubber spacer, and wore a hole in the gas tank. a replacement is 97 dollars. there was a recall but it only covered a certain date of manufacture.
