I need some help.  Onan 5500 Gold Generator.  Will start then stop after about 15 seconds.  I can start again my manually closing the choke but will soon sputter out and die.  Have to let set about 2 min. and can restart.  Oh, when the generator shuts down the light on the start button blinks three times.  Anyone know where I can find the code?  Any help will be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks
 
The fault code should be in your owner manual. Three blinks means that service is required and there is a secondary code. Press stop and it should blink out another two-digit number. That tells you what is wrong.

If you don't have a manual, get your genset model number and download it here:

If yours is the Marquis Gold 5500, the model number is HGJAB. Other data on that genset can be found at http://www.cumminsonan.com/rv/support/literature/
 
Thank you for your reply.  Did not realize it was 2 seperate codes.  Found mine was blinking 3 then 6.  Then tried to start again and got  a 3 then a 7.  The seven crosses to a Service Center visit.  More money out the pocket.  YEAH!!!  This after $600 for batteries and new tires.  Plus as I was going to the tire shop, the AC was not working.  Wow how lucky can I be?  Guess I used up all my luck when I met and married my wife!! 
Peace Out!
