    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    Just wanted to report back. Replaced the silicon controlled rectifier and that fixed the issue. The voltage regulator on these units regulates only DC output.

    A/C unit hose

    Hello, currently have MPI 3/4 ID hardwall and reinforced hose running from seacocks to strainer, then from strainer to AC water pump. The hose is the black and Green striped one. It's difficult hose to work with and replace, after I removed the section from the strainer to the pump to get at...

    Running cable from helm to panel in a cabin on a 350 cabrio. Anyone have any schematics. Up over the arch the only option?

    What are you hooking up? I have a 330 Cabrio. On my starboard side, right before you get to the aft berth area, I have a small closet. In that closet is am access panel for the wires running to the helm. I'd route through there then someone back over to the port side.

    conversion to electronic ignition for Volvo penta-5.7 GXI-J

    Are you meaning how to convert from mechanical throttle and shift to electronic? I have these same motors and would be curious as well if possible.

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Ah that's too bad. I didn't go local and reached out to corporate customer service for my stuff. Anyway, good luck!

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    New one comes with lines and 90 degree fittings attached. Tell them you have water leaking in. There is a white plug thing on the old ones that is defective and allows water in and fluid out. Maybe yours is leaking as well?? I just needed to give then my drive and engine serial numbers.

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Yeah the flatter one that doesn't have the plug issue. My boat is a 2008 and they never batted an eye.

    Won't idle

    So many things. Fuel pumps and pressure okay at the rails? Fuel regulator clogged with paint?

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Just went through this. First thing I did was contact Volvo and they sent me a new pump cover. The 1st gen is a known defective issue. I then had the trim cylinder rebuilt at a local machine shop. They replaced all gaskets and seals. The old ones dry out and crack, and I suspect that is where...

    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    Just an update. I replaced the voltage regulator to no avail. I have been directed to the silicone controlled rectifier but the manual doesn't say anything about the SCR for over voltage errors. Any thoughts?

    Oil sheen in water after start up

    Could be fuel from a stuck injector. Change the plugs recently?

    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    I suppose it could be higher though right as I am seeing the panel pinned at 150 (max I believe). I have such a limited understanding of generators!

    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    What would the Hertz indicate anyway? Because it is getting at least 150 does that indicate that Hertz are correct? I'll check around for loose connections.

    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    Voltage at the panel pins over 150 after start up, then shuts down. I'm trying to figure out how to determine the Hertz on it, but am having some issues..

    Overvoltage error on Kohler Generator

    Hi all. I have a 2007/2008 Kohler 5ECD generator on the boat. A month ago or so it was running fine, then shut down giving an over voltage error. I replaced the voltage regulator and fuses, thinking that would fix it..nope. I start it, it runs for about 5 seconds, then shuts down with the OU...

    Surge in throttle then to idle, leads to almost stall (with video)

    Ah, that actually makes sense from what I've been reading. Now I don't see a filter sponge on the schematic. When I look up the Volvo Penta PN 3843750 it doesn't show up. From what I see it is an easy replacement, but any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Good stuff. Thanks for the advice and replies. Take care.

    Surge in throttle then to idle, leads to almost stall (with video)

    Thanks so much.. I'm a bit intimidated by the spraying of starter fluid around, but I'll make the injectors my next project! If there was an air issue, would a fuel pressure test on the rail determine that as well? Maybe a fuel regulator as well? I actually have two new Bosch ones to throw in.

    Surge in throttle then to idle, leads to almost stall (with video)

    Hello, it's a 2008 5.7gi-300-j. The surge in rpm is me throttling up then back to idle very quickly. Getting the injectors cleaner and serviced was on the list, you think this almost stall is because of a dirty injector?

    Surge in throttle then to idle, leads to almost stall (with video)

    Hi everyone, if you have a quick moment, view this video: Motor was warmed, then quickly throttling up then back down to idle leads to this behaviour shown in the video. Couple of days ago it stalled and was a bugger to get back working. I've installed new caps, rotor, plugs, fuel filter...
