[RE-wrenches] Kohler generator 1/2 voltage

[Tump]

Those had wicked controller issues. Most of them have been updated a few times. There is a way to confirm settings, it may have reverted to 120 only output.  Ill look to see if I have but it use to be in the manual.

I verified the windings are connected for 120/240 operation(in series with center tap for G/N). These voltages are the same on the genny side of its breaker when turned off (no inverter connection). I am having trouble envisioning a scenario of mis-wiring if indeed each one of the windings is producing 120 VAC. Seems odd to me that a bad regulator would cause this, but who knows. Alternator? Ideas? Thanks.
