The OEM one is tough to come by for these machines. And with Faria acquiring Beede, they got out of the military gauge business.

GIJoeCzar I think his username is, has alternate temp gauges up in the classifieds. Will read about 20* hotter than reality, but is a direct fit. Just a different set of resistance figures.

Airtex and Carter are now owned by the same conglomerate... all the same stuff now.

Just approach it methodically. Being that you already have power backup, no rush in missing something. If it were me, up and above everything I wrote I would also on my first place replace the entire return fuel line with Gates safety stripe and new 1/8" vacuum tees even before firing. The OEM...

Thats where we are on the auction cycle. We are at the end of the bell curve on these machines, the selection is much rougher than in previous years. At least at your buy price, I think you did OK even if you need to shoot the parts cannon at it a couple times to get it going.

And its tough to gather a lot from the photos, but nothing glaring sticks out... but rarely does. Before you throw batteries in it and give it a whirl, I would recommend taking the roof off the operator control cube to not only confirm there is no rodent nesting behind the S8 wall (and on the TB...

On the 802 and 803 machines, the gauges you call out hold their last registered value, until you put the S1 into prime again. Should be a nonissue as of now.

The way the aux fuel circuit works, is that it refills the day tank (on board tank) and shuts off when full. Its kind of a nice system. If you don't want this configuration, you would need to custom plumb a line from the external tank, to the onboard fuel pump, and also fashion a return line...

I just ask my wife what I should have been doing, and rarely does it match what I was about to go do... but its somehow the easier choice. :ROFLMAO:

If you can figure out what you wife wants for dinner at least once a week, you can work on an MEP. The DC voltage should be the same across the system, so you have already started to diagnose the issue! Study the wiring diagram (both on the door, and in the TM if need be, as it has info about...

Start with the batteries, if you are only measuring 21V, I am surprised its even starting up. From the -24 22. GENERATOR SET FAILS TO GENERATE POWER. Step 1. Test for defective ac circuit interrupter relay (K1), paragraph 2-61.3. a. If AC circuit interrupter is not defective, do Step 2. b. If...
