Hello all-
I was just given an older Kohler "electric light plant" (generator for remote off grid locations) 6.5 kW made by Kohler Canada that is powered by a Lister 2 cylinder air cooled diesel engine.
the Kohler is marked 6.5 RMO 61 and I have googled that and found nothing so far
It is definitely post-WWII- but is also moderately old, inasmuch as there is nearly no plastic anywhere on it- it's all serious metal.
The aircooled 2 cylinder Lister engine has some cryptic numbers on a tag, but nothing that says model number
Prior owner gave it to me because he could not get it to start; I suspect it could be as simple as bleeding air out of the fuel injector system, but would like to know more about what the model is, so that I can approach it systematically.
Appreciate any suggestions of info you may recognize, or suggestions of where to look/ check.
Thanks
