the plug gap for generator is 0.70 mm
could be a broken valve. or a loose spark plug..
Oh, dude, replacing a spark plug on a Coleman Powermate 1850 generator is like changing a light bulb, but with more grease. First, locate the spark plug, then use a spark plug socket wrench to unscrew the old one. Finally, pop in the new spark plug, tighten it up, and boom, you're ready to power up your generator like a boss.
carb. adjustment, fuel filter or the engine is shot.
You can check for spark by removing the plug wire from the spark plug and holding it about 1/4 inch from ground. Have some one crank the engine or pull the starter rope and look for a spark to jump from the spark plug wire to ground. DO NOT hold the wire with your bare hands since you will get shocked. If you have spark there, remove the spark plug and insert it into the end of the spark plug wire and do the same procedure. If there is no spark, the plug is bad. If you have spark, the problem lies elsewhwere.

I got a plug from my local small engine shop, it is a Autolite 255.
