    Kohler generator marine 7.3ECD-low CO
    I am having an overheating problem with my marine generator, and now it appears a possible oil leak also.

    After spending a couple of hours on the lake with gen. running, we headed to a marina restaurant, docked up and I shut down the generator. We stayed about 2 hours, came on and tried to start.
    It gave me the LOC code, for loss of coolant, but was checked OK.Then after trying again to start it gave me a fault code of UU, or under voltage.

    I have checked coolant and will be changing it out this weekend.
    I feel like the thermostat may be a problem but I need a SEREVICE MANUAL to locate it.
    Any advice on the UU fault code?

    Were too many appliances still connected for it to restart?

    I think the oil may be from the drain plug so I will check that. Any other ideas ? Filter is clean too.

    Hi,
    It seems a bit suspicious that it would give two different error codes; that sounds like bad electrical connection. A spec sheet is available at:
    Kohler Power
    Where you can find an online Contact form and an 800 number.
    There is a manual available at:
    http://dl.owneriq.net/a/a8fdd3f3-736...a86ec68384.pdf
    And another at:
    http://buckeyepowersales.com/Marine_...ion/tp5413.pdf
    Either is your model, but they are freely available. The manuals will give you an idea of where the various switches are located to check for problems.
    I would check the battery terminals and cables for cleanliness, as well.
    Peace,
    Clarke
