Kohler 14RES 14 Kw Generator Questions & Answers
Kohler 14 RES won't start
You need a couple of things / options. The carb heater base, and an oil heater (srews in the drain hole, and possibly a battery blanket at that temp. Some OEM's offer an adhesive strip that you can also stick to the bottom of the alternator, that is also 120V and warms the generator windings to keep moisture out
Not sure what country you ar ein but in the USA/CA they will be a 120V accessory and as such need utility power at the generator
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.

Kohler 5e Marine or mobile/Generator??????
working on this lacking a meter and manual. ?
working blind I call it. not good that ever. call for help:
it has 2 coils, 2 sparkplugs 2 HV wires to fail, (1 of them)
and 2coil igniter
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.
and last a bad ignitor ,
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.
