We repair and service Kirloskar-engined generators across Gauteng. Send us a photo of the engine plate and we will confirm the parts and plan the visit around your exact model before we arrive.

Independent service and repair: Kirloskar is a trademark of its owner, and ProService Generator Repairs is not a Kirloskar dealer or agent.

Kirloskar Diesel Generator Repairs

Kirloskar builds diesel engines for generator sets in a wide range of sizes. Parts support differs between models, so we work from the plate on your set to confirm what we can source before we quote.

We test start, fuel, cooling, controller and output in turn, and you see each repair on its own line.

Kirloskar Diesel Generator Servicing

We change Kirloskar engine oil and filters to the engine plate schedule and check the battery on standby sets.

Every service includes a review of the genset panel’s alarms. The hours on your Kirloskar set the interval.

Kirloskar Engines: Air-Cooled and Water-Cooled

Kirloskar Oil Engines, from India, builds both air-cooled and water-cooled generator engines, and sells complete sets under the Kirloskar Green name. Its air-cooled HA series runs from about 19 to 120 hp, and its liquid-cooled engines include the R1040 series, from about 28 to 189 hp, and the larger SL90 series. Whether your engine is air- or water-cooled changes what we check for overheating and what a service includes, so the engine plate matters.

Why a Kirloskar diesel generator will not start

If a Kirloskar will not crank, we load test the battery, check the starter and its connections, and read the panel for a shutdown that is holding the start off.

If it cranks but will not fire, we confirm diesel is reaching the injection pump, bleed out any air and check the fuel shut-off solenoid.

Fuel delivery, injectors and pumps

We confirm the filter and lift pump types on the Kirloskar engine on site.

Rough running or smoke under load gets a fuel delivery check and an air filter check before any injector work is quoted.

Controllers, ATS, cooling and output

Kirloskar gensets use a range of controllers. We read the alarm text from the panel fitted and trace it for that controller.

When a Kirloskar runs but your building stays on the dead mains, we test the ATS and the signals between it and the panel.

Overheating on a water-cooled Kirloskar points us to the coolant, the radiator and the fan belt; on an air-cooled HA engine, to the cooling fins and the airflow around them.

Once the engine holds its speed, we measure the output at the breaker and test the AVR and the alternator.

What We Check During a Kirloskar Generator Repair

We check the Kirloskar engine, the alternator and the controller on your genset.

  • Battery and starter circuit
  • Controller alarms and controller state
  • Emergency stop and protective shutdowns
  • Oil and coolant condition
  • Fuel filters and fuel delivery
  • Fuel solenoid where fitted
  • Lift pump where fitted
  • Injectors where symptoms indicate
  • Cooling pack and airflow
  • Engine speed and frequency
  • AVR where fitted
  • Alternator and socket or breaker output

Kirloskar Generator Repair or Service?

Book a repair when your Kirloskar will not start, stops with a panel shutdown or struggles with the building load.

Book a service when the running hours say it is due, even if the set still starts and runs well.

Kirloskar Generator Problems Under Load

A Kirloskar can idle smoothly and struggle under building load. We compare fuel delivery and alternator capacity with the load applied.

Is a Kirloskar Generator Worth Repairing?

A fuel or battery repair is usually worthwhile. Major engine work on a high-hour genset needs a comparison with replacement.

If the engine, the alternator and the panel all need major work, we quote a replacement set next to the repair so you can compare.

What Affects Kirloskar Generator Repair Cost?

Your cost depends on where the fault is and parts availability for your engine and panel. A fuel pump repair or replacement typically costs R1,800 to R4,500.

Common Kirloskar Diesel Generator Faults

The Kirloskar faults we see most often, and our first checks.

No crank

A flat battery, the starter, or a shutdown held on the panel.

Cranks, no fire

Air in the fuel, a blocked filter or the fuel shut-off solenoid.

Overheat

Coolant and radiator on water-cooled engines; fins and airflow on air-cooled HA engines.

Runs, no transfer

The ATS, or the start and transfer signals from the panel.

Low voltage

Engine speed first, then the AVR and the alternator windings.
