What to do if the starter on my Kohler 15CCFOZ Inverter doesn't work?
If the starter on your Kohler Inverter isn't working correctly, begin by cleaning and tightening any loose connections. Also, replace the starter solenoid, replace the start/stop switch, and check the wiring.
How can I fix a Kohler 15CCFOZ battery that won't charge?
If your Kohler Inverter battery won't charge, start by cleaning and tightening any loose or corroded connections. For batteries with filler caps, check the electrolyte level and specific gravity. If a battery charging fuse is blown, replace it.
Why does my Kohler 15CCFOZ engine emit black or gray exhaust smoke?
If your Kohler Inverter engine emits black or gray exhaust smoke, it could be due to using the incorrect type of fuel (use correct fuel), a clogged or dirty air intake silencer (service air intake silencer), a lube oil level that is too high (drain out surplus lube oil), or using incorrect lube oil (use correct viscosity oil).
Why is my Kohler 15CCFOZ engine operating erratically?
If your Kohler Inverter engine operates erratically, consider these potential causes: a clogged air intake (service air intake silencer), stale or bad fuel (replace fuel), a clogged fuel filter (replace fuel filter), an obstructed vent in the fuel tank cap (clean cap in solvent and blow dry), or water, dirt, or air in the fuel system (drain, flush, fill, and bleed air in the system). Also, check the fuel feed pump (replace if defective).
What should I do if my Kohler Inverter engine overheats?
If your Kohler Inverter engine is overheating, check the engine coolant level to ensure adequate cooling. Other possible solutions include replacing a defective thermostat, servicing a clogged air intake silencer, reducing the engine load if it's overloaded, adjusting or replacing a loose or defective cooling water pump belt, flushing the cooling system, and replacing a defective temperature switch. Also, check the water passage for cooling water leaks.
Why is my Kohler 15CCFOZ Inverter engine lacking power?
If your Kohler Inverter engine lacks power, several factors could be responsible. Check for a clogged air intake (service air intake silencer), bad or stale fuel (replace fuel), a restricted fuel line (check fuel lines), a dirty fuel filter (service fuel filter), an overloaded engine (reduce load), or an obstructed vent in the fuel tank cap (clean cap in solvent and blow dry). Also, inspect the cooling system for inadequate cooling.
What causes a Kohler 15CCFOZ Inverter to stop suddenly?
A Kohler Inverter might stop suddenly due to several reasons: * Being out of fuel (replenish fuel). * A clogged air intake (service air intake silencer). * A tripped circuit breaker in the controller (reset circuit breaker). * A defective seawater pump impeller (replace seawater pump impeller). * A clogged seawater strainer (clean strainer). * A fuel line restriction (check fuel lines and tank). * A dirty fuel filter (service fuel filter). It can also be caused by a defective low oil pressure (LOP) safety shutdown switch (replace LOP shutdown switch), high temperature shutdown (check engine coolant system for coolant level), or defective high exhaust temp. (HET) and/or high water temp. (HWT) safety shutdown switch(es) (replace HET and HWT shutdown switch(es)).
Why does my Kohler 15CCFOZ Inverter engine start but not continue running?
If your Kohler Inverter engine starts but doesn't continue to run after releasing the start switch, it could be due to no generator output voltage (check AC voltage), a defective low oil pressure (LOP) safety shutdown switch (replace it), or a high temperature shutdown (check coolant level). Also, consider defective high exhaust temp. (HET) and/or high water temp. (HWT) safety shutdown switch(es) and replace them if needed.
How do I troubleshoot a Kohler Inverter with no AC output?
If your Kohler Inverter has no AC output, verify the following: * Ensure the circuit breaker is in the ON position; if it's OFF, reset it. * If the circuit breaker tripped due to an overload, reduce the load and reset the breaker. * Confirm the ship-to-shore transfer switch is set to generator power, not OFF or SHORE. * Check if the controller circuit breaker has tripped and reset it if necessary.
What to do if my Kohler 15CCFOZ Inverter cranks but won't start?
If your Kohler Inverter cranks but doesn't start, check these potential issues: * Make sure you're not out of fuel; if so, replenish it. * Check for any fault shutdowns and examine the shutdown switches. * Ensure the fuel shut-off valve is open. * Other possible causes include a defective fuel feed pump (replace it), a clogged fuel filter (service the filter element), or air in the fuel system (bleed the air). Also, consider water or dirt in the fuel system (drain and flush), incorrect fuel type (use the correct type), incorrect crankcase lube oil (use the correct lube oil), or a faulty fuel solenoid (replace it). Finally, check for a clogged air intake (clean or replace it), a faulty ground connection (clean and retighten), or a weak/dead battery (recharge or replace).
