    4K military not putting out much.

    No luck guys on the 220v ACs. I made all my connections yesterday and ran the old military generator for over an hour supplying power to our little house we call our outside kitchen. The old girl will not run the 220v AC in the living room either. It just doesn't have enough power. But the...

    4K military not putting out much.

    I'll try to get a current reading tomorrow. Today I spent the day adding another breaker box below the meter base at the little house. I needed a way to shut off the power company from the barn and house. I now only have the 100amp breaker in the box below the meter feeding the barn and house...

    4K military not putting out much.

    I cannot easily get to the AC unit. I built it in high in my barn and sealed it up including the front panel. I can pull up and out to clean the filter but that's all But even that requires moving a bunch of heavy stuff first. I was hoping to use the military generator to run the 220 barn AC off...

    4K military not putting out much.

    I created a 220v pigtail using a dryer cable and placed two outlets, one on one side and one on the other side of the 220 pigtail. I connected a 8000btu 110 AC, two blowers and a 110 heater on each side of the 220v pigtail and they all ran great. I plug in 1 220vAC unit to the 220v plug and the...

    4K military not putting out much.

    I got this old military Kohler with a K331 EP engine as a hand me down a few months ago. Today I was trying to find a good spot under a shed roof to set it up as a backup generator. All I checked before was the 110V outlet with a Killawatt meter and the cycles was 59-61, and the volts was...

    Old Generator gift

    Could the 62 on the 3.5RM 62, be the year it was made, if Kohler did it that way?

    Old Generator gift

    I cleaned a bit more and found 3.5RM 62, K331EP on the engine. Looks old and is old but it runs like new. How old is it. Does the K331EP on the Kohler engine date it at all?

    Old Generator gift

    The Decal in the lower right says, Kohler Controller. Kohler on the back too. All the other ID locations had been rubbed off or scratched off. I'm going to clean it up some and try to remove some of the aged grime, but I'm shocked that it runs at all, and runs smooth. Maybe some lettering...

    Old Generator gift

    I hope to find some paperwork on the unit to bring it back to life, it's been sitting most of it's life.

    Old Generator gift

    A friend going into a nursing home gave me an old Military generator. I've been looking over the internet for a week trying to locate another generator that looks like this one. It's single cylinder gas Kohler brand, and the large KOHLER is the only lettering still visible on the unit. The...
