My neighbor bought a used 8.5 ONAN. It had been in standby-backup mode for all its life close to the Pacific. Other than the usual costal crud buildup he had to cleanup he had to replace exactly that - the voltage regulator & they are getting harder to find. His mechanic also switched the distr

I had a similar issue with an On an off grid genny earlier this year. The customer had a local On an tech come out and they replaced the voltage regulator board and cleared up the issue.They also said these regulator boards for the older gennies were getting hard to find, so just another thing f

[RE-wrenches] Kohler generator 1/2 voltage

Hello, I got called in to debug an old off grid system with a Kohler 8.5 RES generator. Across L1-L2 is 120vac. From both L1 & L2 to common gnd/neutral is 60v. I verified the windings are connected for 120/240 operation(in series with center tap for G/N). These voltages are the same on the genny
