Kohler 6.5 questions (MORE!)
Also, when I fired my unit up from the starter replacement, it would not generate power. However, if I turned off the circuit breaker on the Genset, then started it and turned the breaker on, it would kick right in. Any insight?
LAstly, It was running a d AGAIN shit off after 1/2 hour. Coolant was full. I am thinking that perhaps some. Bad temperature sensors )Kohler part 249872?
I am going to conquer this baby one way or another!
Thanks again!

Re: Kohler 6.5 questions (MORE!)
Your difficulty in generating power on start up is either related to too low rpm, it should be set for 63Hz no load, or as these units are getting older, the capacitors sometimes have to be bumped up a little. I usually go with the 25mfd on a Carver with the auto-transfer switch for better results.
Your shut down after 1/2 hr running sounds related to overheat. Get yourself a cheapo Harbor Freight infrared gun to check it out. For $20 they are good enough for your use. The cast aluminum exhaust elbows on that model had a tendency to plug up where the water came in.
