SOURCE: kohler lp shuts down

What you need to know is there enough fuel going to the regulator. It should be 7 to 11 inches Water Column. If not your problem may be not enough fuel. That includes when the heater in your house kicks on and what ever gas appliance you may have. Once you verify that you need to figure out if you have the proper pressure coming out of the regular on the inside of the generator. Next I would look at compression of the cylinders. It may need new piston rings.

SOURCE: Kohler Model 12RES LP gas generator starts

Sounds like a short in one of the windings to me. Can you verify that the engine rpm is not exceeding specs? If you can modify the engine speed Id say slow it down and see what the voltage read is.

SOURCE: The monitoring system of our Kohler propane

The monitoring system of our Kohler propane generator has sent a "UU" message. What does this mean as it causes the generator to shut down 10 seconds after starting? Also how can this be corrected?

How to diagnos Overcrank light

I don't think the over crank is a problem.
Why is it shutting off?
Find the owners manual to find out if there is some fault that will shut it down or it may be an engine problem like the choke not releasing after starting.
To find a manual online you will need the make and model number of your generator.

Why my generator shuts down and posts a message cc-1 crank cycle

Maybe the start motor is damaged. You can check it first.

Honda generator

The running on choke is caused by a fuel restriction. Check the fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor.Change the fuel filter if it has one. If its good, then the restriction is in the carburetor. The generator is shutting down due to the low rpm coming from the engine. A carburetor rebuild may need to be done.

Generator starts up and then cuts out after 7-10 seconds. The cut out appears to be from a "shut down" switch as opposed to carburetor oriented (it's natural gas).

I don't recall, does your generator have oil monitoring, did you say you checked the oil. If it's a protection shutdown there may actually be an oil change timer as well.
