[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 2776772, member: 35036"] Slugslinger, I may not be a kohler generator mechanic, but I have 4 years experience working on military generator sets and have also worked on civilian backup generac sets when I worked as an electrician. Who installed the generator? You say you have had it for 2 years... Did you have a Kohler certified technician come out for the first startup? If you did not, that can void your 5 year warranty. Have you checked the 120v signal line coming FROM your house/the breaker that circuit should be attached to? A lot of backup generators (and the kohler model you have im sure) require a 120v wire to charge the batteries and power the controller. No power equals no batteries and no controller. Let me know how that goes! I wish I could offer more, good luck. If I were closer I would offer to swing by and have a looksee, but I'm not. That and residential generators aren't my strong suit.
