Re: Kohler 7.5 generator
It could be that your pump needs to be primed however I have very rarely run into this with a generator. There may be a reason why it isn't priming on its own.
If the new impeller ran for 30 seconds dry, it may be toast now if you didn't lubricate it at installation. If the wear plate is scored, the pump won't work efficiently. This should have been checked when the old impeller was removed. That and other issues will cause the same sympton.
