I have a Kohler 5e generator on my 2000 Grady White Marlin 300. The boat is new to me and has not seen a lot of use.....the generator has a whopping 4 hours. At first the generator wouldn't start. I suspected it may have been because my fuel level was low so I topped off my tanks. The generator started right up and ran for approximately 5 minutes without a load. It was putting out 120 volts and appeared to be working. All of a sudden, the generator quit and will no longer run.
The generator will start right up, but cuts off as soon as I let go of the starter switch. The problem seems electrical, but I know little to nothing about generators. If I hold the starter switch on, the generator will keep running. Any help with my problem would be GREATLY appreciated.
