Craftman 5000 Watt Generator hard Starting when Hot

[Auto Doc's]

70 PSI is barely enough to support combustion, but it has a compression relief so that should really not be an issue.

New coil? As in Amazon? I avoid Amazon due to the many problems I've had over the years.

One thing that comes to mind is fuel percolation in the fuel bowl after shutdown. All that post-shutdown engine heat directly effects the carburetor.

Years ago, we had to look around at similar models to find an insulator/ heat shield that mounted with the muffler, but extended down to protect the carburetor from heat absorption,

This heat shield greatly reduced the percolation problems and improved the hard start when hot problems.

I looked on Ebay and they show a couple of different used ones for the Tecumseh HM100. Maybe one will be a good fit for your engine.

Hope this info helps you,

Here is one example, not sure if it is correct:

I guess I should ask if all other tin heat shields are in place because many people often make the mistake of removing them thinking that it improves cooling. It does just the opposite. The heat shield tins are in place to ensure the cooling air from the flywheel fins is forced in the proper directions. That is vital for any air-cooled engine.
