generator won't stay running

[stephenskrocki]

I just had a similar problem on my '79 diesel Kohler 8.5kw. It turned
out to be very simply a dirty fuel filter. I'd bought the rig
recently and the previous owner said it'd been recently serviced. It
turns out that all of my filters were a mess, but that's another
story. My gen ran too when I had the start button on, but it was only
because the starter was turning it over. Maybe this is unrelated, but
I figured I'd share my little experience.

Good luck! Mine is in the shop now and will be about $5k worth of
work when I get it out next week. Obviously there was a lot of other
stuff the previous owner didn''t disclose too, lol.
