Kohler 25HP COMMAND SERIES ENGINE Questions & Answers
Kohler House Generator powers up when our electricity goes out but then powers right back down?
That is an engine running issue, not a battery issue. :>D The first thing to check would be fuel supply. Can you start up manually and keep it running. If you can, it is the contactor that senses your loss of mains power and switches the generator on. It is not maintaining the connection, or is is misdiagnosing the power from the generator as power from the mains.

it has 2 coils, 2 sparkplugs 2 HV wires to fail, (1 of them)

we use and ohmeter to the bad coil.
primary is of coil (ignitor end) is about 5 to 12ohms. (infinity bad)
secondary coil is high ohms 1000 to 10000, par, infinty bad.
the HV lead is used to measure secondary to coil core metal
the HV lead can fail too. making coil useless.

the 2 coils are same P/N so can be swapped and if failure move to other plug, bingo for bad plug , otherwise bad ingnitor box.
