Here's a link to your manual. http://www.aaronequipment.com/equipmentattachments/46698001_kohler_30reozjb_spec_sheet.pdf

Compression Ratio: 9.0:1

http://www.bing.com/search?FORM=UP97DF&PC=UP97&q=How+to+remove+the+armature+from+a+engine+of+a+power+generator

what is the filter part number on the Generator now? Give that to an Auto parts place and they will cross it to what they sell

See if there is a heat shield for spark plug. Make sure proper plug is installed and gapped.

the compression ratio has nothing to do with head shape - it is the of the swept volume of the cylinder compared to one ( surface area X the stroke of the piston)

plugged fuel line or stuck float

There are some clips on the top of the spray head that fasten it into place. I found this pic that may help and your Kohler owner's manual should also have more info.

What do you mean? same as any model and serial number plates. Commercial? residential? the same

What is missing here is a couple of things, what size generator are we talking? a residential, commercial, what control is on the unit. They all reset in different ways. One sure way is disconnect the battery charger first (VERY IMPORTANT or control board can be damaged) disconnect the negative terminal off the battery. leave off for a minute they re conenct and re energize charger. Fault should clear unless you have done damage due to over load.

Check stator for shorts

wow intermittants are tough to find , the only way ive ever been sucessfull at it is to temp bypass each sensor (lie to controller) to see if it continues to run ,I do not recomend leaving any thing bypassed and not physicaly monitoring it , this temp bypassing is for only the most experienced techs that know normal state of sensors and can simultate them with off machine items

depends on your climate if genset runs in colder weather run the 14 if not then it's the 12

if unit is over 8 years old it has a mechanicial timer for the Cool down run time (after power comes on) these go bad from believe it not "Rust" the timer will need to be replaced with a new model , that most likely will be an electronic timer replacement , now if unit is less than 8 years old . and this is a new install then verify that ,Sense connection on terminal strip on ckt board is connected to land power

Check output voltage. Aux fault.

Make sure you have rated speed and voltage on the out put side.

Check the oil level and oil pressure sensor switch.

change the oil to the correct specification first. As the engine runs the heat changes the viscosity and overheats or trips the oil alert switch. If its over 10 years old change the oil alet magnetic switch
