<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Wrenches,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope you’re all having a great Thanksgiving weekend! I have
a disabled off grid client with a vintage Sept. 2006 PV/Gen Hybrid system we
installed. The Kohler 8.5RES LPG has 262 hours on it. She called us letting me
know they had a power failure. After trouble shooting the system in a snow
storm, I’ve deduced the Kohler’s timing is not correct. We have spark on both
cylinders & put in fresh plugs just in case, 11” water column on the
propane, & it actually runs on one cylinder at a time. When both spark plug
wires are plugged in it won’t run. The battery is good.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Kohler was closed Friday, we tried WA, CA, OR, WI, & CO
for tech support. Does anyone have a service manual for this unit? I believe
it’s the ignition control or possibly another part of the ignition that has
failed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help or advice here will be greatly appreciated as
always! Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
