    Kohler generator problem

    Hi,
    I have a Sea Ray 280 DA -04 witha factory installed Kohler generator. It starts ok, andwhen i'm turning the breaker to "on" the voltage guage shows between 120-130v. The green power light does not light at all(nor the red one). If I try to start the stove it sounds strange and the red power light is blinking. The Airconditioner just clicks... When on shorepower everything is working and the guage shows 110v.

    Any suggestions?

    regards Johan

    Sounds like a poss voltage regulator problem. I would think thats on/in the the circuit board.
