Why does my generator pulsate while running, what's wrong with it?

This action is called governor hunting which generally means the carburetor needs resetting ,a complete internal cleaning or a rebuild then adjust the high speed and low speed settings by the adjusting screws on the governor spring system (manual may be required for these settings)

Oil leaking out my honda 3000is generator.

In the process of using diesel generator set, soft rubber pipe is easy to rub with the parts around it, and it is easy to wear and tear oil leakage in the long run. However, most of the fuel supply system of diesel generator set uses soft rubber tube, so it is not easy to find the oil leakage point. Below are instructions provided by Starlight Power small make up to teach you a few diesel generator unit pipeline leak spot check method. Method one: exhaust the air from the diesel generator unit, then start the unit to find out the leak point. Method two: release the gas screw of the unit injection pump and release the oil from the hand oil pump. If it is found that the discharge screw starts to discharge a large amount of bubble oil, and the bubble still does not disappear after the repeated hand pump, it can be determined that there is a leak point in the low pressure oil pipeline from the oil tank to the oil pump section. The pipeline should be removed, pressure gas and placed in water, to find out where the bubble is the leak point.

MY HONDA 3000 IS GENERATOR KEEPS STALLING OUT, BUT IT ALWAYS STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY FOR ME, COULD IT BE OVERHEATING?

No, as with most small equipment engines, the culprit is the carburetor. You'll need to soak it in carb cleaner overnight in a sea;ed container and install the rebuilt kit for it.

Start the engine

I assume you refer to a 6500 watt Honda, if it's electric start/and manual(pull cord) First supply a 12 volt battery /if you haven't put fresh gas in it do the best you can to remove all the old gas from the tank and you should find drain screws and small hoses on the lower part of the carburetor. After completing this step add about 1 gallon or so of fresh gas, remove the air filter system from the face of the carburetor ,with a small squirt bottle put a tea spoon or so of gas into the of the carb, close the choke and turn the key, if it fires let it run with the choke closed for only a few seconds then slowly open the choke fully, if the engine stalls close the choke and start the engine again do not leave the choke closed for extended periods as this will cause engine flooding and spark plug failure. Also be sure you have inspected the existing spark plug to be sure it's clean if there is any question about the plug change it. BR

I have fire and gas but will not start oil alert light on when crank

By fire I assume you mean spark at the plug. When turning the engine over with the key and the oil alert light comes on the spark is interrupted by grounding the system thus the engine cannot start. First, look at the obvious things, check oil level if it is at the recommended level smell the dipstick if it has a strong smell of gas change the oil and try to start it again. Be sure the plug is not soaked with raw fuel before you try the restart. I the problem persists you can disconnect the wire from the top of the low oil sensor.Try to start the gen. if it starts change the low oil sensor. I hope this all makes sense to you , good luck with it. BR

Why is spark plug breaking down on new honda generator 3000?

If the plug isn't fouled and looks all right, it could be the resistor cap on the plug wire. It could also be a warning from the CDI that it is giving up the ghost.
