0 Found this thresd - sounds right to me and worth a try. 12V klawnmower battery and disconnect the spark plug of the generator...see below Soooo, Monday comes & I call... The tech. guy (Jim) @ Coleman was very helpful too. To flash the field on a small home use generator, I was told to get an ext. cord & cut off the female end of it & strip the wires & connect the wires to a 12 volt car or lawn tractor battery, & plug the male end of the cord, into the 120 A.C. side of the generator. I was told to make SURE that the black wire which is POS/HOT on an A.C. cord, gets connected to the RED/POS. side of the auto battery, & the white wire on A.C. cord gets connected to the BLK./NEG. side of the battery. If the ext. cord wires are not black & white, then the smaller prong of the plug is the POS./HOT Plug the other end of the ext. cord into the generators 120 volt side & remove spark plug wire, & pull the starter cord 4-5 times, then remove the ext. cord, reconnect the spark plug wire, start the unit & plug something of 120 A.C. volts in to see if it works & IT DID!!!!!! I then let it run for about a half hour with 2 300 watt lights to help re-generate the unit.
