Generator
I ran my generator this morning, and I noticed that after it warmed up and was running the 2 house A/C units, the water temperature was about 210 on both meters. Is that high for a unit sitting in the sun on an 80 degree day or is it about normal? I didn't see any signs of over heating and the antifreeze reservoir is at the correct level.

Dale, I thought someone would of jumped in by now. My Kohler has never run over 195 in 110 degree sun with everything on. 210 seems a little warm to me. I would call Mark and ask.

Dale,
I'd say that's outside the operating range. Use an IR gun and check the temp. If the sending unit is bad both gauges will be wrong.

Dale,
It sure looks shiny, now I have to go wipe mine down again !!!
-
I would say the high temp sensor is going to shut it down somewhere close to that temp if functioning as designed.
Mine would go to just north of 190 in real hot weather

Gil,
Where are you talking about shooting it to see the temperature? Maybe if it really starts being a problem, I'll shoot it with my 357 and let some of that hot water out. I hope it is the sending unit.

Dale, ideally you'd take the temp off the radiator hose coming off the thermostat. If not accessible, try any coolant hose.
Have you checked the radiator cooling fan to make sure it's working and nothing is blocking air flow?

Dale, my bet is your radiator needs to be cleaned/rodded out.
