I am also having a problem with the generator temp gauge malfunctioning. Yesterday while driving in hot, 90+ degree heat my gauge was reading around 180 for about 30 min. then jumped to 212 in less than 30 seconds, so I shut it off. When I got back to my driveway I started it up again and it did the same thing yet when trying to take measurements with my scanner thermometer I could only get readings around 170 on the radiator, thermostat housing, etc. This morning, I fired it up while it was still cool outside and under a load it took about five minutes to get to 155 degrees and held that for another 5 minutes then quickly started dropping to "Lo" warning in only seconds then started climbing to 156 and again dropping to "LO". After running a few more minutes it stayed at no reading so I assume I have a sensor problem too. My genset is a Kohler with Yanmar engine. Does anyone know where I can find a sensor for it, my manual does not list it
