View the latest post 1988 3227 generator issue


Hello all I am helping a good buddy get everything figured out on this new to him vessel. The boat has a 4cyl gas kohler generator. It apparantly hasent ran in 2 years. The boat runs great. I was messing with generator the other day and if I keep pumping the prime lever on the bottom of the mechanical fuel pump every 30 seconds or so the generator runs and sounds great... if you stop the engine dies on the generator. Another pump or 2 to prime and it fires right back up. I have primed it for almost 10 min or so and when you stop priming it shuts off. Bad fuel pump? Clogged vent? I am extatic at how well the gen motor sounds when it is running after sitting so long.

Thank you all.
