I have a 5kw Kohler on the formula. It's a nice compact genset, but it had not been used for quite a while. It only had 8 hours on it when I bought the boat. Lack of use seems to be what makes these things so temperamental. I went through it and caught up all the maintenance and now make it a habit to run it for a few hours every time we go out. Seems fine now.
