Kubota 14KW generator

[Bob Gil]

Any body have some kind of wiring dirgram for a 14 KW genrator?

Mine is set up with an electric fan.  I don't know if it was that way to start with.

It looks to have two oil sencors and three wires on the water sencor.

I have some of my wires that were burn't.

Bob, is the fan a remote mount squirrel cage fan than runs on 110v if it is I have a wiring diagram for mine

The fan is like the regular 12 volt ones that are on cars.

Bob,

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways your genset might have been wired originally.  Without an exact make, model, and option list, no one can really just give you a wiring diagram.

FWIW, my 17kW Fidelity/Marathon/Kubota was so screwed up when I got it (custom start/run system using three electronic delay timers and a bunch of relays) that I basically ripped the whole harness off of the damn thing and started over from scratch.  We removed the oil and temperature sensors and replaced them with known values -- I ordered them from Dick Wright, since I started with the same Kubota prime mover that he uses on his gensets.

You are welcome to use my wiring diagram if you want to start from scratch.  You can find it in the "drawings" section of our photo site, http://odyssey.smugmug.com (I would post a direct link here, but SmugMug seems to be down right now).

Bear in mind that what wiring will work for you depends a lot on what kind of fuel supply/shutdown solenoid you have.  Here again, we used the same Solenoid as Dick uses, which is power-to-open, spring-return to close.  Also, it has separate power leads to open the valve (higher current) and keep it open (lower current), so the diagram reflects that.  Many solenoids are two-wire.

We also took the direct-drive fan off the front of the engine, put the whole mess into a hush box, and remote-mounted the radiator with a giant fan blowing over it.  We used a 120VAC Dayton from Grainger.  That's my recommendation for you, as well.  You just wire the fan up to one of the output breakers off the generator sub-panel.

If we end up getting up DFW way when we are done here in Austin, I will stop by to see if I can give you a hand with it.

Thanks Sean

I had not considered running a 120 ac fan for cooling but i guess if it is a genset why not.

I will have to look at the grainger web site.

I will have to look at the grainger web site.

And just connect it up to the genset output and it comes on automatically anytime you start the genset.

Here's the direct link to that wiring diagram I mentioned:
