How to fix Kohler 4EOZ battery that will not charge?
If the battery of your Kohler Marine Equipment will not charge, clean and tighten loose or corroded connections. Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity of sulfated or worn battery connections (only batteries with filler caps). Check the charging system.
Why does my Kohler Marine Equipment operate erratically?
If your Kohler Marine Equipment operates erratically, service the air intake screen if it's clogged and replace the fuel if it's stale or bad. Service the fuel filter if it's clogged, and clean the cap in solvent and blow it dry if the vent in the fuel tank cap is obstructed. Drain, flush, fill, and bleed air in the system if there's water, dirt, or air in the fuel system. Replace the fuel feed pump if it's inoperative.
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.
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 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 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 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.
