Looking for used generator

[RJAY]

I have a 2006 kohler 5ecd with 115hrs on it.
I belive I need a adc 2100 module but can't justify spending over 2 k usd on this.

I looking to replace with a westerbeke 5 with a carburetated motor.

please let me know if you have something available for sale

Sincerely
Ryan

While I understand there is a point of no return when buying new parts for old equipment, I still must deduce that used generators must be much more numerous and consequently more affordable there than they are here. Have you priced them at all?

I would view a genny with 115 hours as barely broke in. Surely it isn't a write off over that ?
Have you confirmed that diagnosis?

Just a brief cursory search I found one for $1445, but there seem to be multiple part numbers for an ADC2100 so I can't confirm that is the right one.

StayCurrent on here is a generator guy and can offer some educated opinions that I can not.
I believe he sponsors a Q&A thread on here as well. I encourage you to contact him either way, if he doesn't see this.

Thanks yendor

I have had a lot of feed back from members here with advise on what they found

I have installed new impeller cleaned fuel system checked fuel pressure new injector cleaned heat exchanger changed map and voltage reg tested stator

Tested every sensor and coils with instructions from the kolhler service manual


The unit is in my garage I have spent over 600 dollars with no Change

I'm sure I have narrowed down to the ADC module. Another 2k and it might be great for its life time but these things have a terrible reputation.

I would rather sell or trade mine to a company and put the money towards a simpler unit that runs at 1800 rpm over the 3600
If I could find a adc2100 for a reasonable price or borrow one to ensure the issue i.woukd certainly do that

Thank for contact on this form
I will definitely try and reach out to him

I stumbled on this thread and now I'm just curious if you solved the problem or ended up finding a replacement. I have "no dog in this fight", but I'm just curious. (and if you did end up solving it, posting a solution might help others caught in the same dilemma)

Hello skybolt
I ended up selling my Kohler for parts

I bit the bullet and bought a new westerbeke efi unit

Cheers

I did the same. After thousands of band-aid dollars, I got a Westerbeke 6.5 and can't be happier.

Great to hear
I havent started yet as the boat in not quite ready for the lake

The one button for starting and 1800rpm

Can't wait for that first cup of coffee on anchor

how much work was it to switch from kohler to westerbeke ? if you dont mind what was the cost?

 

[RJAY]

The switch over is not bad
Make sure new gen is back far enough for hatch lift cylinder to clear
Fuel line is more then long enough
House power wires reach

Need to solder new ends based on voltage

Need a exhaust elbow coupler and hose to muffler

Biggest issue was raw water inlet Need to be extended as is comes in on opposite end of kolher

Battery cable work
I'm making a plate for resvior tank and u shaped anti syphon valve

Need to mount remote start panel somewhere in helm
Existing on will not work

I did all labor my self from pulling old to installing new

Got boat show pricing on gen

I gonna say about 20k CAD for this project

Let me know if you need any further information

Cheers
Ryan
