What to do if my Kohler 8.5RES Portable Generator cranks but does not start?
- JJohn BarnesAug 21, 2025
If your Kohler Portable Generator cranks but doesn't start, first, make sure the manual fuel valve is open and check the fuel supply tank. Insufficient fuel pressure could also be the cause, so verify adequate fuel pressure, considering the generator and other gas appliances. Inspect the fuel regulator/valve and check spark plug wires and connections. Clean, regap, or replace the spark plugs if needed. Finally, check for loose or open connections at the fuel valve and the engine spark control module, ensuring controller/engine wiring continuity.
