FAQ SECTION

Why is my Kohler generator showing a "Low AC" or "No Output" error?

This is often caused by a failed voltage regulator (AVR) or a loss of residual magnetism in the rotor. We can test the stator and AVR to restore your power output quickly.

How often should I replace my Kohler water pump impeller?

We recommend inspecting the impeller every 100 hours and replacing it annually. In the sandy waters of the Jersey Shore, impellers can wear faster due to silt and debris.

Can you help with Kohler "Blink Codes" or fault shutdowns?

Yes. Modern Kohler controllers provide specific fault codes for issues like "High Temp" or "Low Oil Pressure." We use factory diagnostic tools to identify if the issue is a genuine mechanical failure or a faulty sensor.

Do you service Kohler gas generators as well as diesel?

Yes. We are fully equipped to service the entire Kohler Marine line, including the 5E, 7.3E, and 10E gas models commonly found in mid-sized cruisers.
