I had a new generator installed on my 2010 Sundancer 310 last spring. This year it has failed to turn over (starts but then dies). My marina (Bass River on Cape Cod) has no one to service it. I called Kohler, and the names they gave me have no one either. If someone has a generator service...

I am new owner of a 2003 Sundancer 320, 350 MPI's V-drive. Kohler Gen quit working right after I bought it. Gen mechanic claims it is not getting fuel or bad fuel from the tanks. He says there is no filter or anything upstream from the tanks. I would think there should be a fuel strainer/...

It's showtime folks ! Will close today or tomorrow on a new to me 1996 450DA She has a Kohler 9EOZD genny with 150 (not a misprint) yes 150 hours The unit features a sound enclosure. Pre-purchase oil sample shows some coolant in the oil. Boat has spent its entire life in a warm climate, so...

Greetings. I'd really appreciate some advice on my Kohler 5E generator. My generator was spitting fuel out the air intake when running, it was also surging. Clearly spitting fuel into the engine bay is a major safety hazard. I removed the carburetor and found that it was all clogged up and...

The Kohler 5ECD on my 2008 310 has been running just above 200 hours but won't work properly since this summer. It was shutting down with LOC code frequently. I checked the water flow and temperature and they were all good. I thought it might be the water pressure sensor issue. I jumpped the...

For those of you who have this problem this maybe of some help. I have a SeaRay 310 2008 with a Kohler 5ECD model Generator that would not start. I keep getting "UU" codes (under voltage errors) which translate that the genny is running too slow or inconsistently. Ony 3 things stop an engine...

We’ve been generator challenged this season – first with the generator surging and second that it only runs for a few minutes at a time. The surging was fixed with a complete tear down and ultrasonic cleaning from a local marina – varnish in the jets. When reassembled the idle screw that sets...

Hi all, Figured I'd start here after reading many other similar issues regarding Kohler generators. I bought a 2007 Dancer 310 down in Prince William just about a month ago and it passed its survey with flying colors...generator started and ran fine, took a load, and powered the boat's...

I'm 2 weeks into a 2006 340 DA and am running into an issue. We recently went out only to have my high water alarm go off shortly after leaving slip. I pull up to the fuel dock and check and my bilge is filling with water. We determined that the rear bilge pump check valve has jammed shut...

hi- I just bought a 2008 Sundancer 280 with Twin 5.0's. I'm awaiting delivery as the dealer is going through the boat now. Does anyone have experience with installing a generator on the 280? I have the spot for the generator. There's plenty of room for it. Is it worth it installing? Does an...

I have a kohler 7.3e that recently stopped running. I would not remain running unless I held the start button down. I replaced the voltage regulator fuse and now the generator starts/sounds great but is producing greater than 150 volts. There is a adjustment screw on the voltage regulator...

I own an '06 SeaRay 340 DA that is equipped with a 5KW Kohler Gasoline powered auxiliary generator installed aft of the starboard engine. I recently had to change the impeller, and in the course of doing so found the old impeller had broken up. Since the new one was installed however, even...

I just bought this 2004 Sea Ray 260 and the generator wouldn't start so I pulled the spark plugs and did a compression test. One cylinder had 0 compression and the other had 210 psi. The spark plug with zero compression looked like it had water on it and the spark was sparking to the side...

If you have a Kohler 5 ECD sound shield you don't need - let me know. I'll pay a reasonable price for it depending on condition. New or used does not matter as long as sound dampening material has not been damaged. THANKS! I have a Sarasota FL shipping address - and can pay with paypal or...

Have any of you guys had to have your valves adjusted on you Kohler 5ecd? Last year my generator stopped working and my mechanic determined that one of the cylinders wasn't getting compression so he adjusted the valve and she started right up and ran great until last weekend. Now I am having...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has had this experience. My kohler 5E runs fine but occasionally starts to surge slowly, then faster, then bogg down, then stall. Havent isolated the issue yet, but I have checked the temp (around 200 degrees on the block), 90 degrees-ish as it dumps back into...

There are a lot of threads I found on this generator and varying issues with shutdown. In reading those, I think I have an airlock issue. And if so, I haven't yet been able to purge all of the air from the system... My Kohler 5E ran fine all last fall. For spring maintenance, I replaced oil...
