what you are looking in any gen set application is the fuel solenoid valve.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=531414617-03112008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>On the
KOHLER 8/12 RES units, if you are facing the open door/run/auto switch,the right
side of the enclosure is removed.END of the unit. Inside this space
top left corner is our propane inlet. you will see, depending on your fuel
Nat/Propane wires labeled "70A & 70B" plus " N4" These are 12 Volt
& this is where you piggy back your source for your GSM. If the unit fails
to start the controller in the gen set will disable the voltage to these
solenoids shutting the GSM & the gen set down. BE aware that some of the old
RES units we needed to install a receptacle for the 120/12 volt battery
charger.The new ones have the receptacle BUT it needs to be wired into the
output circuit of the generator.There is NOT a charging circuit on these units,
prolong operation w/o the aid of a battery charging source will cause a shut
down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try the oil pressure wire, it probably is live when running but I
have seen some shut down systems that go to ground to stop, might not
work there. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Don't give up on them yet, I expect that I know who that was at tech
and he still has some learning to do.</DIV>
<DIV>He once told me that he would not trust the voltage and amp readings
off an e meter / link 10 because he had never heard of it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tony is real good. Next time you get the other fellow ask for
Tony or call back.</DIV>
<DIV>There is a wide selection of different start systems out there and it
can be real hard to get the right plans. Sometimes I think they do in
intentionally.... (the set manufacturers)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Later,</DIV>
<DIV>Bob</DIV>
