wrote: I have a gas powered 6.5 KW Kohler generator Model 6.5CZ that blows the 10 amp input fuse whenever I shut it down from the engine mounted or remote kill switches. It then won't restart until I install a new fuse. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? The unit starts & runs fine, and for now, I stop it by removing the fuse and then replace it once it is shut down. There is a second fuse, but this goes to the battery charging system and seems to be unaffected by the stopping sequence. I have this posted to a couple of boating & RV groups so I hope someone can help me on it. Please feel free to respond to my email directly if you're reluctant to respond to the group. Thanks in advance. What's an "input fuse"? I may be blowing wind, and I have no experience of this rig, but a mechanism that comes to mind is this: the engine slows, the generator volts drop, and the field regulator boosts the current to hold the output voltage, blowing a field current fuse.
