I am back again with a newly formed question. My Kohler 5kw generator keeps shutting down after about 20 seconds of running. I am getting the following error on the digital readout ‘CO4’. When I look this up in the manual… it is telling me that carbon monoxide is present and I should check for any CO alarms going off, move my vessel away from other potentially polluting engines or check my exhaust on the generator. When I first had this problem, my cabin CO alarm was reaching end-of-life and was beeping intermittently. I thought maybe this was causing the generator to shut down. I have replaced the alarm but still having the same generator issue.
Has anyone else had this problem with the same code and found the issue? I'd like to see if I can fix as myself rather than pay $250 to the mechanic. I sense this is a somewhat straightforward issue but I can't seem to find anyone who can guide me down the right path. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give
