Homelite HG600 Lightnin'bug generator. Where can I get an owner's manual?

Homelite seems to think it is 5,000 watts

Correct, tip the engine to the side that has the fuel cap/intake or if its on other side tip on that side etc

Whilst tipping slowly pull the starter cable to turn the engine.

Hope that helps

Just return them for a full refund.

The UT number for this generator is UT-03559. The problem is like yours can't find anything online in the line parts or owners manuals for this unit. You may try http://www.ktoutdoor.com/
They were listing this number. doesn't mean they have anything on it but might be worth a try.

Here is alternate idea on recharging the battery use a 12 dc ac adapter for recharging while the unit is in use.

Hi and welcime to FixYa. I am Kelly

This is going to sound odd but.... this is how it it is recommended to field flash and inverter type generator. (Brushless) The steps are to (not kidding...) use a male mail interconnecting wire from your house wiring and plug in your generator and turn ON the main CB for 1 minute.

If this does not work.... See steps below amnual links.

This is a brushless generator... Not sure what the smoke was but... the yellow wires are for the capacitor winding. If you probe the capacitor terminals with one of the wires disconnected with a meter on R x 10,000 you should see a brief jump in resistance and then the meter drifts to infinity.
reverse the test leads and test again looking for the same result.

Next read resistance Yellow wire to Yellow Wire (Stator capacitor loop check) It should read low resistance

Also read Brown wire to Brown wire. This is the DC stator loop check. Is should read resistance.

Main winding checks Red to Blue and White to Brown that goes to the main breaker. OR Turn the Main breaker on.. White to lower left pin of 30A 4 pin output recepticle. Bot red to blue and White to Brown MUST read low resistance

These are all the checks except the rectifier and the rotor. You will probably find something during the above tests. If not... respond here and I will pass on the rotor and diode tests.

Go to Homelite's web page http://www.homelite.com/ and you enter your Model Number and download the Owner's Manual, that should have wiring diagram in it. If you don't find it. contact Homelite Customer Service.

Hope this helps you find what you need.

Check with briggs

I have the same unit and same problem.
I have lost my owners manual. Did you figure out what needs to be done to correct the no output issue.

try leaving your choke partially on it may not be getting all the gas it needs,see if it will run then, it wont run full throttle, but this will tell you its not getting enough gas
