is there a forum section to get help with a gas generator?
looking for thoughts and suggestions on a generator issue I’m having
a boat I recently bought has a kohler 6KW gas generator that starts easily and runs perfectly for about 35 minutes. Then it begins surging reving up and down for about a minute then dies. It won’t restart at all . It spins but doesn’t fire. After you wait for an hour it fires up again and will go through the same process again.
the boat is a 2006 searay 340. Engines are 8.1 mercruiser horizon V drives with 750 hours and run perfectly. The generator and starboard engine feed off of the starboard fuel tank which has all new fresh fuel. Generator was not used by original owner much and only had 30 hours. A new carburetor and new fuel filters have been installed. The generator did the same thing with the old carb and old gas as it does with the new carb and new fuel
my thoughts fir what what to do next are
new fuel lines and new fuel pump.
it seems like a fuel problem to me. Thoughts or suggestions are appreciated
thanks
