Disconnect generator remote start wires in the ATS. Put an ohm meter across the remote start terminals in the ATS and kill utility power, you should here a click in the ATS and the ohm meter should indicate close to zero ohms. If it does then your ATS is fine and the problem is gen control board or wiring between the two. If it does not show that value, then the start relay in the ATS is suspect.

We just installed the Kohler 20RESAL in a open air enclosure behind my clients house and when it's running it's incredibly loud. You certainly can't talk to anyone if you are standing next to it and the...

No be careful !!! the muffler is designed to give a certain engine back pressure and emissions. Changing this or piping it out can increase back pressure to dangerous levels. If you build an enclosure make sure the air flow in and out is sufficient and the hot air out does not get sucked back in as cooling air (short cycle) engine damage and fire can result !

Kohler RXT won,t start Kohler 20resa

Did you check the remote terminals and relay in the ATS, disconnect gen remote wires, kill the ATS brealer and ohm across the start terminals, they should close, if not a relay/control board issue, if they do fault is in wiring or gen control, or incorrect wiring

Kohler exercise causes engine spikes and gasping for fuel.

On exercise it isn't under load, you may have too much gas pressure, have the gas pressure and fuel/air ratio checked on the mixer

My gen starts and runs for 1 min or so then dies restarts then dies again and again. if i start it under load ( turn on air con) it will run for 10 min then die allen

Is there a fault?? All UL listed generators including Kohler are required to lockout on a fault on shut down. This really sounds like a problem with your 2-wire auto start connection between your automatic transfer switch and genset. RDT model automatic transfer switch it is the 2 middle wires on the green connector and terminals 3&4 in the generator. close to run and open to shut down. Any open at any time will cause the unit to shut down. The 12 will shut down instantly upon an open because your 5 minute cool down is built into the transfer switch.
