They are on opposite sides of the V twin motor. I did consider a faulty plug wire though. Still I couldn't get to the other end of the plug wire the way they have cowling wrapping these units.

I have a disabled off grid client with a vintage Sept. 2006 PV/Gen Hybrid system we installed. The Kohler 8.5RES LPG has 262 hours on it. She called us letting me know they had a power failure. After trouble shooting the system in a snow storm, I've deduced the Kohler's timing is not correct. We have spark on both cylinders & put in fresh plugs just in case, 11" water column on the propane, & it actually runs on one cylinder at a time. When both spark plug wires are plugged in it won't run. The battery is good. Kohler was closed Friday, we tried WA, CA, OR, WI, & CO for tech support. Does anyone have a service manual for this unit? I believe it's the ignition control or possibly another part of the ignition that has failed. Any help or advice here will be greatly appreciated as always! Thanks in advance.
