    Kohler 5E Generator crank/no start K2/3 lit up

    I have a couple of these generators, last one I pulled a few weeks ago and did the same maintenance and repairs started after a few times pressing the on button and manually pumping the throttle on the carburetor. I'll have to check spark on it in just a few minutes. I just don't hear the fuel...

    Kohler 5E Generator crank/no start K2/3 lit up

    All I have on the generator is a stop/start switch and a breaker for on/off position. Not aware of any preheat on these carbureted gasoline generators.

    Kohler 5E Generator crank/no start K2/3 lit up

    I changed out the plugs, water pump impeller, bushing behind water pump, and a few other things. I just haven't changed out the fuses for the relays. I'm assuming it's the control board or the sensors on it, however if it was the sensors it would at least start. I'll start out by changing the...

    Kohler 5E Generator crank/no start K2/3 lit up

    I have my generator out on a pallet after I did maintenance, resprayed it and changed out the rusted out pan to a stainless steel one. I never had this generator started before as it's just out of a project Regal Commodore. I have it hooked up to a hose and a battery on a standalone gas tank...

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    Awesome, that worked like a charm. I'm assuming I would just splice these connections together correct or do they make a female plug that jumps the connection?

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    If you can send me what connections need to be jumped since I detached the transmissions to list one of these 8.1s for sale and one for install that'd be great.

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    It did have a ZF 63 transmission attached. I think that might be my issue then! I started the other engine when the transmission was attached still... I can't believe I missed it. Do I need to change anything electrical since I'm converting it for a sternboard? I have the other engine I will be...

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    The only spot that I did not have 12.4/.5 Volts going to was the red/yellow connection at the slave relay and where the red/yellow wire leads to on the starter solenoid. Every other connection with the yellow/red wire had 12V to it and I checked the positive connections at the starter, slave...

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    It's a 2003 engine, it has the 3 square relays. There's no relay with a yellow/red wire going to it. I swapped over 3 relays from my other 8.1 with the 3 on this engine. Still the same issue, that engine starts. I have the wiring diagram for this engine and there's a yellow/red going from the...

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    One place I haven't checked power at is the neutral safety switch. I'm just getting 0 voltage at the yellow/red wire going to the starter solenoid from the solenoid that's mounted under the ECU. Changed it out for a new one and I was still having the same issue with 0 voltage with key turned in...

    2003 Mercruiser 8.1 HO No Crank No Start Fuel Pump Running

    Well, I still the same issue. No voltage at the wire going to the solenoid. I checked voltage going to the ignition switch, cannon plug terminal, 50 amp breaker, and starter pilot relay and it has enough voltage. The solenoid that the starter solenoid wire runs to has no voltage at the starter...

    Got it all sorted, I ran the wire back to the starter solenoid 8M0185149. No voltage at the wire connected to the solenoid when ignition was turned to start and no voltage at the solenoid where the starter solenoid wire connected. Thanks for all the help!

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    I got my problem sorted out, looks like it was condensation coming in from carburetor. Looks like it had water in the fuel. Have it plugged up to non ethanol and after running checked inside the carburetor and intake and it's dry. Manifolds and Risers are still bone dry. It was hardly even...
