I have a Homelite Generator model # LRIE5500 what type of gas does it use??

1) From a store that sells or services generators.
2) On line by typing your information into your computer's search engine and calling a dealer whose name pops up.
God bless your efforts.

Any name brand two cycle oil should be good like Echo, Stihl,Opti-2,Shindaiwa. Homelite even makes there own two cycle oil in a pre measured bottle. Mix it 40:1 which is 2.6 oz. of 2 cycle oil to 1 gallon of gas.

Check the following:

1. The fuel - if old fuel was left in, it may be contaminated. Use fresh fuel. If the unit isn't used regularly, add the gas additive "Stabil" before storing the generator.

2. Check the air filter - clean or replace as necessary

3. Check the spark plug for fouling, gap, etc.

4. Make sure the carburetor is tight to the manifold and engine.

5. Make sure to start the unit with no loads connected.

6. Makes ure there is enough oil and the correct type in the engine - do not overfill.

Remove carb bowl, clean . Stem on fastener my b clogged, take needle clear holes at bottom of stem and through top of stem.

It sounds to me like you have your problem diagnosed. To find the nearest service center for homelite to you go to homelite.com./service and then go to service locator. I could not do this as I don't have your location. Good luck and thank you.

Please list your model number when posting and I might have found part number for you.

Go to homelite.com service and support, find parts, parts locator, model # if you cannot find model number go to product line, homelite, then select generator, without model number you will have dozens of generators to look at.

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.

Sounds like the engine is not getting enough fuel. Two possible problems:
1) I know this is a dumb question, but did you turn the fuel back on?
2) If the answer to question 1 is yes, then the small fuel filter inbetween the gas tank and carburetor probably has hardened. The inside of the fuel filter is a piece of foam and it is really common for the in line fuel filters to harden when no fuel is present and cause a clog in the fuel line. Try replacing the inline fuel filter and life should be good!

A gas cap that works for 1850 generator is a homelite DA 06486.
