    I may be late to the table but I had a frustrating issue as well. http://www.yachtforums.com/threads/kohler-7-5-r-generator-shutting-down.24973/
    rcrapps helped out with a schematic. Everyone with a Kohler 7.5R should carry spare, rough service fuses. There is a 10 amp and 2 amp in the board at the rear of the unit. My 2 amp fuse was burned out although it didn't look it. I confirmed it with an ohm meter. Runs perfectly now.

    Did you ever get the problem solved. Mine does the same thing. Even a Kohler authorized shop can't fix it.
