I am on my second Kohler 5.E generator on a 25ft Doral 250SE.<br /><br />The 1st generator was a 1999, which had numerous issues and was eventually replaced <br />in January of 2001. This second generator has followed the same path. <br /><br />Since its installation I have had numerous issues ranging from bad sensors, to <br />To having to replace the carburetor and starter.<br /><br />After numerous repairs the repair shop the repair shop stated that it appeared that the generator was taking in water. They stated the cause was due to improper installation. <br /><br />Although the installation was done by a Kohler Certified shop and Tech, they refused to <br />Cover the repairs under warranty. Wanting the problem resolved, I ate the cost of replacing the Kohler Factory fuel filter, the addition of a second heavy duty filter and<br />Addition of a siphon break.<br /><br />The generator has again taken in water. Water was found in the oil and in the cylinders. <br /><br />I have spoke with several others who have experienced similar issue with the Kohler 5.E generator. Is this a common problem with this generator?
