Also try turning putting a couple of things in the ON position first like a couple of 100 watt lamps then try starting the generator and see if anything changes.

Re: Kohler 6.5 esz
1. Check the oil level - the engine has a low oil cutoff and won't run with low oil
2. Check the wiring connector to the fuel pump - these generators have an electric fuel pump and they won't run without gas - I have also seen fuel pumps fail - it's usually a Facet fuel pump and you can get a replacement at NAPA
3. Have to done anything to change the operation of the generator? Think about what connection, fuel line, or other thing might be affected.
Good luck!

Re: Kohler 6.5 esz
Run the unit with the switch and see if it is outputting any power at all. It should be outputting some voltage while you're holding the start button. Here is a manual. Follow the troubleshooting guide. Note "Engine starts but does not continue to run after start switch is released" Also note any other suggestions regarding no AC output.
I think the relay you're talking about is on the relay control board but I can't recall if this is actually the case on this model though I don't see a separate relay in the parts manual below.

Re: Kohler 6.5 esz
Kohler part number c-229388 about $300.00 ASAP (advanced service and parts) has them in stock in PA.
Also there are a couple places that will repair the board for about $100.00. I am going to have my original board repaired as a spare.
