Generator problem....

[Robbie65]

I have a 95 Intruder with the Kohler gen and it will run for exactly 15 min. and then shut down. Haven't really needed it yet, but I would really like to fix it. Any of you good people ever have this problem or know what it might be? I have already changed the fuel line, changed the fuel and air filters and hooked up a 5 gallon can above the gen. No change. Thanks in advance!

I'm not that familiar with a Kohler Genset, but they all seem to have a water temp sensor and a oil pressure sensor that can stop the Genset by putting a "ground" to their input on the Controller. The oil sensor is normally closed, but opens on oil pressure. The water temp senor is normally open and stays open until closed by an over temperature condition. So, you can temporarily open (remove) these connections from the controller and eliminate these as causing the problem. Rook
