Could be the battery voltage. If your battery is not charging properly, the controller on the unit can do some funky things! Exactly how long does it run for? Is this in auto or manual mode?

Gotta be more specific! What kind of info do you need?

On your Automatic Transfer Switch ( the little gray box you see on the right in the picture above) you have two blue buttons. One is a Manual test switch. The other has a clock on it and this is your exercise set button. Hold it down for a FULL 3 seconds if you want it to excercise without a load (not powering your home) Hold it down for a FULL 6 seconds if you want it to exercise with a load every week. Your generator will start and run for 20 minutes, and then shut down. Now every week your generator will exercise at the time and day that you pushed the set button.

won't start fire

call koler but ui think is meant high heat as in the thermal circut is shuting you down or low oil
could be a couple of things best bet call kohler

Wire size is similar to water hose, the smaller the hose, the less water that can pass through it. Wire is same principle, the smaller the wire, the less current able to pass through it.

This is an answer to your question only. The safest thing to do is hire an electrician to do it. There may be factors you don't recgonize that a skilled eye would pick up on.

The proper size wire is #4 copper or #3 Aluminum. THHN is the most common and most versatile type in conduit. a #6 ground wire is ok. Stranded pulls a lot easier than solid and do yourself a favor and buy some wire pulling lubricant just in case.
Make sure to obey all manufacturer's instructions. If you use aluminum make sure to place anti-oxidation compound or Nolox on your lugs in the panel. Please write back with anymore questions.

Are you sure this is not normal?

Read your manual.

Most of the larger generators do a test run once a week or so to make sure everything is working ok in case of a power falure.

That is the specific use of WD40. Spray it when it is warm and the kerosene will evaporate and leave the waxy protective coating behind.

not car moved yah lost the users manual??? in it is the schematic, and on said schematic is what kills spark dead. 1: oil switch bad. 2:kill switch bad. 3: wires too those cut or shorted. it's all there to read, ask maker for the lost manual

Don't think you can check the avr it's self (capacitors you can) there are continuity tests you can do to the windings of the generator to determine a fault with that if that all checks out ok the avr is at fault

depending on the machine Could be the Rpm to high

Hi, if possible please check your speed sensors within your generator to make sure each is still functioning properly. Otherwise, you might have to replace the sensors before the code goes away. Thank you.

Fault code is displayed if the engine starting battery voltage rises above 16 VDC for a 12 VDC system or above 30 VDC for a 24 VDC system for more than 2 seconds when the engine is not running. This fault condition does not inhibit engine starting. The fault condition clears when the battery voltage returns to a voltage within the limits for more than 2 seconds Check the battery rating and condition.

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.

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.
