Generator to RV wiring John 6-19-08  
I have a 1988 Fleetwood limited 37' motor home. When purchased the generator was not with it. I installed a Kohler model 4.5ckm21-rv, serial # 161519. the plug in for the start/ stop switch is the match to the RV. The generator cranks over, but gets no spark. The wires when the two plugs are connected together have these wires connected together:
Generator - RV

red - Red
Brown - green
Black - Brown
White - Blue

I would say the Red wires are correct because the generator cranks over.
I would only assume that the brown wires should connect together, but the other I am not sure about. Could you advise me on the correct connections?
The person that it was bought from started it just fine without it installed
