I have a cloeman powermate 6250. It has about 20-25 hr. on it,our power went out today so I hooked the gen up. It worked good for about 10 min then no power, motor running fine. Once a month I would start it, run under load for about 5 mim,what could have went bad. Bud Smith [email protected]

yes
the adjustment is by the rpm setting on the governor spring
thee is a nut that you adjust the spring tension with and lower the rpms and watch the voltage gauge until you get the desired voltage
if the load is going to be constant but is well within the rated capacity( example 2kva of a 6.5 kva set) of the gen set then the variation when the load comes on will be less than 5 volts
however if the power required is close to the max capacity of the gen set ( example 4.5kva of a rated 5 kva set) , then turn the unit on and adjust the rpms up to the required voltage required
remember that an advertised kva is not the rated kva
rated kva is what the gen set will produce all day and is normally around 1kva less than advertised kva
so if you have a 6.5 kva gen set ,it will handle current peaks to 6.5 kva but will burn out if required to run long time at that load
if the gen set is 1000 watts then rated watts will be less ( 750-800) for long time use
Your generator produces proper voltage and 60 cycles at 3600 rpm. Use meter to adjust voltage/engine rpm. If after adjusting rpm setting and gen. does not have proper power, remove cover to generator and examine brushes and commutator rings for wear and voltage regulator/rectifier for burned components swolen or leaking capacitor and replace parts as necessary. Parts are available www.jackssmallengine.com Good luck
i'm specialized in generators...but your problem seems familure...
try getting an L14-20 female connector ...i wish i had more details but this is all i can advice.
powermate went out of business , but here is a website http://www.powermate.com/contact.php
you can probably get a off/ on switch at your local small engine repair shop. it probably can be any switch for a gen.
