My kohler 5e marine generator only runs when I hold the start button and only produces about 12vac. Is this a quick fix?

Sounds Like possibly the regulator is the issue. Flightsystems Can test these to see if it is good or not. also here is a link for the service manual https://us.v-cdn.net/5020499/uploads/editor/0c/g1lx13xi2vyy.pdf

I have a Kohler spa tub. I want to change the air switch on the top of a Kohler Proflex #1157 motor. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the top of the switch off. I cannot find any screw heads.

I don't know this specific tub, but here's the pictoral. The button (90105) should come out of its base, held by friction of O ring. This should allow you to disconnect the pressure line. If you are looking to replace the complete assembly, likely you will need a basin wrench to reach nut (65157). kohler1-ggmuzyqdnvlyrlfigj0gxfoh-4-0.png Here are links to Kohler, specific to this tub. https://www.us.kohler.com/us/catalog/svg_viewer.jsp?productId=415928&diagram=3 https://www.us.kohler.com/webassets/kpna/catalog/pdf/en/1010564_5.pdf

Kohler Cimarron toilet wont flush completely. The flush is fast, but the bowl won't empty entirely.

Smart-a$$ answer is to find an old 3 gallon pot in a salvage place. Best answer is to fiddle with the chain that goes from the handle to the flush flapper and see if adjusting its length makes a difference. If it's too short it might result in letting the flapper closing too soon and allowing your deposit to remain.

Kohler generator 5E run but not well, keep shutting off

http://www.kohlerpower.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/g2058.pdf Safety shutdowns:
  1. Loss of coolant
  2. High water temperature
  3. Low oil pressure
Likely one of these. If no indicators at a panel check at the connector.

My new Kohler toilet with AquaPiston technology won't flush consistently. Sometimes it won't flush and you manually have to trigger it. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

The jet that pushes the water through maybe clogged with calcium buildup.

Blockage Repair

Your focus indicates a sewer issue and not a drain issue. The first challenge is to determine which branch leg of the sewer is the issue and then assess where all your access ports are. Sometimes an outside access port has been covered over by dirt/mulch etc. If you know where the blockage is ... then as mentioned by other contributors ... you will need a snake. They can be hand driven or motor driven. For great access to the blockage you may need to remove the closest toilet, since snaking through the lower S trap of the toilet really inhibits the snake's effectiveness. Depending on how your house is built ... the roof sewer vent pipes can be a good access point (and sometimes that is where the debris has gotten into your sewer if you have overhanging trees). I have had success with running a garden house up to the roof and down through the vent pipe. You need to have a second person watching by the the toilet to make sure it does not back flow on to the floor. You can get hose spray attachments which help propel the hose and add turbulence to break the blockage ... but I have never tried them. If your blockage is recurring over the seasons ... and if you have a number of trees close to your sewer line outside then you can have tree root intrusion into the sewer. In that case you need a professional with a special snake that actually has cutting capability to remove the roots. Attached are 3 photos ... manual snake, motor snake, hose spray nozzle Good luck with your troubleshooting! capture2-bc3vgyatevd4ip5u5o1k1tox-1-0.png capture1-bc3vgyatevd4ip5u5o1k1tox-1-2.png capture-bc3vgyatevd4ip5u5o1k1tox-1-5.png

Installed a new Kohler mixing valve and when the other shower is running, water will flow out of the new Kohler shower head.

There's something blocking it sometimes if you turn the water off in your home and turn it back on sometimes calcium from the pipes break loose and cause blockage in new style washerless valve assemblies.

I have Kohler marine Genset It run in manual mode but when I start it in auto it do not start due to indication of LCL .need help

There might be two reasons for the failure of generator auto start. 1. It is the ATS automatic conversion control device that does not issue the start generator command after the mains power failure or phase loss operation, or the self-starting relay failure, which causes the generator to not start itself. This situation is relatively rare. 2. It is the generator start battery failure, and this kind of situation is relatively more.

Valve is set to far into the wall...

First, your not going to like the solution. There really is no way to solve this on kohler faucets. Some companies make adapters but as far as I know kohler isn't one of them. Hopefully you can cut a hole in the drywall behind and put it where it should be, if not the marble comes back off.
