Kohler generator overheating
Hi -
Our Kohler generator is overheating under load. So far I've replaced the thermostat, and so I guess that flushing the system is the next step. Details: 86 PT-40 Kohler 12.5CCO67-RV Yanmar 4-cyl engine with no load ran cool. Started adding load at around 180 degrees Added load up to 20A leg one, 30A leg two - all three cruise-air AC's running plus some other appliances. Maintained about 115V all the time. Temp slowly climbed up to about 215 before I took the load off. In the past it actually tripped the high temp switch, but I didn't see any point in doing that again. After I took the load off it slowly dropped to around 200. Stopped it then. We've got two weeks before we head to the desert and 100+ heat. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
