    Kohler generator cylinders keep hydro locking

    It doesn't diesel so not running backwards when shut down. Was the Gen fully warmed up and not still cold? If it was cold then it might not act the same. Best to see what it does after running a while with normal load the see if it does the same type of shut down. Dieseling is when a motor...
