Mario, what you are looking in any gen set application is the fuel solenoid valve. On the KOHLER 8/12 RES units, if you are facing the open door/run/auto switch,the right side of the enclosure is removed.END of the unit. Inside this space top left corner is our propane inlet. you will see, depending on your fuel Nat/Propane wires labeled "70A & 70B" plus " N4" These are 12 Volt & this is where you piggy back your source for your GSM. If the unit fails to start the controller in the gen set will disable the voltage to these solenoids shutting the GSM & the gen set down. BE aware that some of the old RES units we needed to install a receptacle for the 120/12 volt battery charger.The new ones have the receptacle BUT it needs to be wired into the output circuit of the generator.There is NOT a charging circuit on these units, prolong operation w/o the aid of a battery charging source will cause a shut down. Additional Information can be found at the downloads site @ www.kohlerpower.com bulletin TP-6514

Don't give up on them yet, I expect that I know who that was at tech and he still has some learning to do. He once told me that he would not trust the voltage and amp readings off an e meter / link 10 because he had never heard of it. Tony is real good. Next time you get the other fellow ask for Tony or call back. There is a wide selection of different start systems out there and it can be real hard to get the right plans. Sometimes I think they do in intentionally....

We have successfully used a Magnum AGS control Magnum with an older 3 wire start Onan although it took some time in finding 12 volts that is only on when the gen is running (typically the hour meter power). With the Kohler 8.5 RES there is no hour meter or other obvious location in the generator for 12v power that is only on when the gen is running. We called Magnum from the site only to be told that all of the information we needed was on line. The man was still un-helpful when we told him that we were on a remote installation with no internet access. Now I'm back at the shop and on the web. On the Magnum web site I see a hook-up diagram for their AGS with a Kohler RMY series generator. Nothing for a RES series. Next time we'll go back to OutBack. Any help that the wrench community can lend on working this situation out would be appreciated.
