I have a Yamaha Ef2600 fw generator that starts and produces voltage and current but also gives out a 'clunking' noise on a 2 - 4 second cycle. What is wrong with it?
Based on the search results there are a explanations, for the clunking noise in your Yamaha EF2600FW generator;
1. Load handling; One potential reason could be that the generator is facing difficulties in managing the load, which could be due to fuel or air supply. This can result in the generator producing a clunking noise.
2. Fuel shortage; Another possible cause might be a lack of fuel supply to the generator leading to a knocking sound. It is advisable to address this fuel issue before operating the generator to prevent any damage.
3. Storage conditions; The clunking noise could also arise from storage conditions. Over time certain components like piston slap or dry rod bearings may develop problems resulting in sounds when the generator is running.

Check and ensure a fuel supply. If needed, clean or replace the carburetor.
Inspect the generator thoroughly for any signs of damage or wear in areas like piston and rod bearings.

Powerhorse 9000ES Generator. Battery wires - is there another wire also that connects to the battery?
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Powerhorse 9000ES generator. While I don't have specific information on the wiring of that particular generator model, I can provide some general guidance.
Typically, a generator's battery is connected to the starter motor and the electrical system. The positive wire from the battery is usually connected to the starter motor or the starter solenoid, while the negative wire is connected to the generator's chassis or grounding point.
As for the additional brown wire that changes to black and has an eyelet, it's difficult to determine its exact purpose without more information. However, it's possible that this wire is intended for a specific accessory or component of the generator. It may be a ground wire, a wire for a charging system, or a connection for a specific electrical component.
To ensure proper and safe installation, I recommend consulting the Powerhorse 9000ES generator's manual or contacting the manufacturer's customer support for detailed wiring instructions. They should be able to provide you with the specific information you need to properly connect the battery and any other wiring components.
Powerhouse 3100RI has no spark, plug has been changed. Where to look and what to check
It has low oil level cut off which will prevent spark. Check there is sufficient oil in the engine crankcase. Oil level alert sensors are a common failure so if there's sufficient oil then disconnect the sensor. If engine then runs, replace oil alert sensor.

Which wire is positive on a Schumacher ship n shore battery speed charger
Get someone who works with electrics regularly to test the output on the cables with a voltmeter or a multimeter set to volts. They will be able to tell you which is which. Don't use the charger until you've found out which is which as this could do serious damage to the vehicle or the charger.
