I am having problems with a 1981 Newell 12.5 kw Kohler/Perkins gen set.
It will start & run cold, maintaining normal water temp and oil pressure. When I shut it off, it will not restart...dash mounted start/stop switch becomes inactive. The next day it will start...no problem. I have grounded out low oil pressure switch and high temp switch to check safety shutdown...but no change while running.
The shut down system appears to be faulty. It is equipped with an unusual reset switch located near the passenger side main fuse panel.
Does anyone know how this works??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
