We're facing a new generator for our 2000 380DA and I'm wondering if the Kohler is still the best upgrade/replacement path?

I called this company a few weeks ago expecting the requisite BS or no return call at all regarding my W'beke 4.5 gas carb unit.

He has a deal with UPS/FedEx (?) for crating and shipping. About $450 round trip to RIC.
He was very straight forward about my problem (hunting / surging) and the likely and not so likely causes. I am so sick of it I was considering a trade and swap out to a 5.0 FI/Lo CO 1800 RPM unit. He told me that mine was one of the better older units and should be a rock for thousands of hours. The fact that he returned my call makes me think of giving him a shot at it. Maybe he has an older sound shield.
Personally, I would never purchase another westerbeke.
I love my Westerbeke because previously, I had a Kohler. The Westerbeke is quieter, running at only 1,800 RPM. If it ever dies, I'll be looking for another just like it. Only poblem is that parts are super expensive, and best located on E-Bay.
