If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?
Also why Kohler over Generac?
I wanna say it was between 25-30 installed.
Kohler had slightly better warranty benefits when I closed and I have experience with their products on the commercial side. You frequently see commercial properties/businesses with Kohlers when installing full service Gen sets.
Generac is by no means a bad product, just personal preference. I will say again, liquid cooled is the way to go and both the aforementioned manufacturers make them. Whisper quiet and longer run times without needing oil/service, but increased cost.
If you want to minimize cost get an air cooled Generac.

Did it come with a 1/2" fitting and hose? My 13kw duromax requires 3/4"
Also, do you have an upgraded, high flow gas meter (if you have a pool heater you probably do).

Got my Westinghouse today and attempted to break it in.
Not having much luck so far. The generator starts up fine on NG but turns itself off after about 10 seconds.
I'm not sure if it's not getting enough pressure from the gas meter or what. Seems like it should be able to idle even if pressure is low but what do I know?
I'm planning on getting a propane tank to test that out and try to isolate the issue. Would rather not put any gasoline in there if I can avoid it.
Yeah, I don't think the battery is the issue since I had it charged all night.Flaith said:
Did you plug it in and charge it before starting it up?
I've also read that some of the selector switch blocks have been getting installed incorrectly from the factory. Try running the generator on Propane on the NG selection and vice versa.

It could be the low oil sensor. Westinghouse support is telling me to return it, which doesn't help a bunch since the thing is out of stock.
I'm hesitant to run gasoline there, because even if that works, it doesn't help my problem.
I don't think this model has the "low idle" switch
