    Old Kohler Generator Parts

    Does anyone have a good supplier for old Kohler Generator Parts?

    We need a new thermostat for the generator.

    We have a 1981 Kohler Model 20ROP63
    Spec# 13354B
    Ser# 093644

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The Kohler parts can be very tough to find. Kohler only made the generator part and it likely has a Perkins diesel (Model 4.154) and it is often easier to find parts for these (since they are still on old tractors and such).

    Check out:

    Tacoma Diesel around here has helped us out before. I do agree that looking up the Perkins 4.154 parts may be a good option as well.

    Thank you for the suggestions.

    I'll let you all know how it gets solved.

    You can certainly find a new thermostat. After years of doing this, I always worry when folks blame a thermostat for engine overheating. Certainly it can be the cause, but more often there is something else causing the trouble. Let us know!

    Jon, there is a shop called Marine Emporium in Bethel Island California. They cut up boats weekly and sell off all the used parts. I do not have their number but it's listed. PS put some photos on your profile. Would love to see your layout.

    Take a look at the below parts link for the marinized 4.154 engine. It is pretty well spot on from what I can tell when comparing it to our 20R0P63.

    Looks like thermostat is part number 2485613 and the gasket is 0490184 .

    I found the thermostat here: http://www.perkinspartsdirect.com/2485613

    FYI, I have found a great deal of parts for the 20R0P @ http://apgeneratorparts.com/ . Might be worth a shot.
