Default Kohler 6.5KW CZ generator blowing fuse

This may not be related. However, I have a 20kw Kohler that kept blowing
fuses for no reason. I found out the improper fuse was installed. A 10
amp high heat ceramic fuse should have been used. The heat given off
from the generator engine would heat up the fuse, and de-rate it. A
ceramic fuse is designed to operate in high ambient temperatures.

I hope this helps.
