Kohler/Perkins Generator Expert

[Jay Darst]

Who is the Kohler Generator expert?

While at the Maxton Rally, Scott heard a rattle noise in my
generator over and above the Perkins.

He had problems with his generator where the support bearing(at the
opposite end of the rotor from the Perkins) had wallowed out the
bearing holder thingy. Anyway he replaced his generator.

I'd like for mine to die so it make sense to move up to a 15kw
PowerTech.

I have heard that the Perkins/Kohler's have seen 30,000 hours of
use. So, with proper maintenance, the dam thing is going to outlive
me.

Would like someone to suggest what this rattle might be. Have
ordered the replacement bearing and support parts. And get installed
see if thats it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
