What causes a Kohler 4EOZ Marine Equipment engine to knock?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment engine knocks, use the proper fuel type, consulting the fuel supplier if needed and bleed air from injectors.
What to do if Kohler Marine Equipment engine starts but does not continue to run?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment engine starts but doesn't continue to run after releasing the start switch, check the high exhaust temperature (HET), low oil pressure (LOP), and/or high water temperature (HWT) shutdown switches. Also, check the oil pressure and pump, and verify the AC voltage.
Why does my Kohler Marine Equipment overheat?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment overheats, start by checking the intake and outlet openings and the raw water strainer to ensure proper cooling. Replace the thermostat if it's inoperative. Service the air intake screen if it's clogged. Reduce the load if the engine is overloaded. Flush the cooling system if it needs cleaning. Replace any inoperative temperature switches. Finally, inspect the water passage for any cooling water leaks.
What to do if Kohler 4EOZ Marine Equipment cranks but will not start?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment cranks but will not start, first check the shutdown switches. Ensure you have enough fuel by replenishing the fuel supply and opening the fuel shut-off valve if it's closed. Replace the fuel feed pump if it's inoperative. Service the fuel filter element if it's clogged, and bleed the air from the fuel system. If there is water or dirt in the fuel system, drain and flush it. Also, check the battery, recharge or replace if weak or dead. Clean and retighten the faulty ground connection. Clean or replace the air intake screen, if clogged.
Why is my Kohler 4EOZ Marine Equipment losing power?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment is losing power, service the air intake screen if it's clogged, and replace the fuel if it's bad or stale. Check the governor and adjust it if the engine is not operating at the rated RPM or if the governor adjustments are incorrect. Clean the carbon from the cylinder head if there's a carbon build-up. Inspect the cooling system to ensure proper cooling. Check the fuel lines for any restrictions. Reduce the load if the engine is overloaded. Service the fuel filter if it's dirty, and clean the cap in solvent and blow it dry if the vent in the fuel tank is obstructed.
What causes a Kohler 4EOZ Marine Equipment to stop suddenly?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment stops suddenly, replenish the fuel supply if it's out of fuel and service the air intake screen if it's clogged. Reset the circuit breaker if it has tripped in the controller. Replace the seawater pump impeller if it's inoperative, and clean the seawater strainer if it's clogged. Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for any restrictions. Clean the fuel filter if it's dirty. Check the oil pressure and pump if there's no or low oil pressure. Check the engine cooling system if there's high temperature. Check the HET, LOP, and HWT shutdown switches if they are inoperative.
What causes abnormal noise in Kohler 4EOZ Marine Equipment?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment makes abnormal noise, add lube oil if the lube oil level is low and tighten the hardware if there is a loose bolt or screw.
Why does my Kohler Marine Equipment starter crank slowly?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment starter cranks slowly, check the electrolyte level and specific gravity (for batteries with filler caps only) if there's low battery output. Use proper viscosity oil if the lube oil is too heavy. Clean and tighten loose connections if there's loosened or corroded wiring.
What to do if Kohler Marine Equipment starter does not work properly?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment starter does not work properly, clean and tighten the loose connections. Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity (batteries with filler caps only) and check battery voltage if there is low battery output power. Replace the starter solenoid if it's inoperative. Replace the switch if the start/stop switch is inoperative. Check the wiring if it's inoperative.
How to reduce noise from a Kohler Marine Equipment unit?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment is noisy, check the exhaust system for leaks and ensure it's securely installed, looking for loose parts. Inspect the vibromounts for any breaks or damage. Check the clearance to ensure the unit isn't hitting the craft structure or compartment. Install approved insulation if there's no compartment sound insulation. Tighten all bolts if there's loose or vibrating sheet metal.
