Genset shut down. Restarted and ran for a minute or two before shutting down again. This happened several times and would only run a minute or so. After 5-6 restarts, it would only run for a few seconds before shutting down. Just bought this boat in March and haven't had any problems until today.
I checked to make sure my oil level was good. What's next...replace fuel filter maybe? Any other suggestions?
Ok, had a tech guy look at my genset and he tells me the fuel pump is shot. He suggested I order the pump and when it comes in, he will install it.
Where's a good place to order Kohler parts?
