Have Kohler 12RES. Gives a CC1 code thenan OC
check your load wires there probaly reversed. I had the same problem friday. The week before the electrican wired it. did the same cc1 then oc. had a generator company come out it was the wireing. my load and netural were reversed.
Kohler 30RES Generator LOC code coolants ok
How old is the 30RES? unplug the low oil sensor on the radiator and see if it runs, they are notorious for failure and have to be filled in the radiator to the brim. If it runs order a new sensor, I have replaced many of them for this reason, but more often the radiator seems full by dipping finger in, but will always take more coolant. The sensor is mounted so high up in the radiator. I ask the age as newer ones require a signal to be maintained and it isn't just a simple ground if low on coolant, if it has 3 wires then disconnecting for the above test will not work
Problem with kohler 12 kw, showing 38 . 1 code
Normally fault codes are letters? I am not familiar with that code at all. You may have got the control in some configuration setup code 3P0(X) is for raising and lowering the voltage where X is a number from 1-9 for increase
No 110 ac power out of gem
Check the rotor slip rings for tarnish as it has sat.If they are clean, the rotor may have lost it's magnetism and may need flashing (putting DC power directly on it for approx 3 seconds) with brush wires disconencted POLARITY IS CRITICAL
How do you check the slator to see if it is any good useing a multymeter
You must first disconnect ALL the stator wires to prevent a bad reading. You MUST have a good meter, cheap ones will not do. Put the meter on Ohms and put the probes together, note reading (this is the resisitance of the meter wires and this reading will need deductiong from the test readings). You will need a service manual to know what that actual values should be at what ambient temp. They are normally very low less than 1 ohm so cheap meters won't read. Check each wire with one lead and the other to the stator metal ground. You should have ZERO any value here is a short. Then check between each pair and read the value (many stators have multi windings T1,T2, Q1 Q2, B1 B2 etc, so you need to make sure you measure across each pair.. Generally values are 1 ohm or less
I have an older Kohler Power Pro 5000kw generator
try contacting Nixon Power Services in TN. If they cannot help, you take the old rectifier out, note wiring. A rectifier is nothing special as long as it is the same current rating, if the part is truly obsolete then a good electrnic supply house can give you an equiv
Kohler parts
Contact Nixon Power Services in TN. Make sure the controller is programmed for your model and gas etc before it is shipped
8.5 kohler generator battery dies often
Check the battery charger whether an external one is installed or the optional one ion the transfer switch. Measure the voltage on the battery it should be at least 13.8V if it is only 12V then the charger is suspect. Also if it is an external charger plugged into a receptacle make sure that the 120V receptacle is hot (GFI's) tend to trip in a storm
Kohler 12kw generator starts but shuts down after 3sec
Your gas pressure is too low and you may not have a large enough supply pipe. You need at least 10 inches of water column with the engine running to operate an LP vapor fueled engine. Because the engine is starving for fuel, its governor opens the throttle to WOT (so it goes to high revs) but there isn't any fuel to make horsepower with so the output voltage falls and the undervoltage alarm trips.

12RES alternator
There MUST be a generator attached to the engine of your genset to recharge the battery as starting current greatly reduces the charge of the battery. The solar panel was designed to "trickle" the battery to keep the battery "fresh".
