Good evening, less than excited to by talking about this right now however i think it might be a reality... when i winterized my boat in October i went to change the gensets oil upon attempting to drain the oil i realized there was none... still unsure how this was the case but at the end of the day it is... On the way to have the boat hauled i ran the gen for nearly 2 hours and my only thought as to why it didn't cut on low oil pressure is perhaps I forgot to flip the pre-strart switch off.:smt021
According to my manual this switch is a bypass of the oil pressure cut off alarm... (still not certain i understand the complete function of this switch... here is what i have been doing... turn on pre-start switch -> start -> wait 5 seconds -> turn off pre-start switch... hope that is right...) When i got to the marina the set was running fine and providing power but i have to imagine the damage is done... so in anticipation for the worst i have been looking up or trying to look up rebuild kits for the set. I would want to do this repair myself if needed. I cannot find anything... closest i have seen is partsfortechs.com but they only sell very general parts... does anyone know where i can get these parts? pistons,rings etc...
Thanks again! (kohler 5E on a 2003 320 dancer)
