Thank you for all of your help, this is all excellent information. Unfortunately it is raining pretty good here, will have to wait a day or two to start testing

Got it, thank you! Gotta work today, wind came through and tore a couple of trees apart Hope to get home with enough sunlight to check this out this evening Stay tuned . . .

OK, I opened up the generator again this afternoon and thoroughly soaked all openings / terminals 4 times while working the switches over and over again probably 30 times each switch. I used most of the spray can of Deoxit Fired up the generator, let it warm up for 10 minutes. Started with...

I wasn't sure what voltage it is seeing. I will order the 14d151k resistor, thank you Thank you for your reply That is where I sprayed the Deoxit. Apparently you are right and I will get out there and spray some more and exercise the switches more as well

I cleaned the am/vm and ac selector switches the best I could with Deoxit and excercised the switches lots. unfortunately the generator still goes into overload after about 15 minutes. I can't really get into the guts of the switches or the slip rings on the back side. I can't figure out...

is 14d151k the resistor needed for the MOV Mod I think this is a 95 volt resistor, shouldn't we use a 120 volt resistor?

Good suggestion, I will try that. I don't notice any unusual deposits or sludge outside of the exhaust. I will work on it and report back Thank you

Makes sense, I don't use the convenience outlet, so probably doesn't matter there isn't a fuse. If some droop shouldn't cause an overload, any thoughts as to what the issue might be? It doesn't trip the overload (that's a more recent issue that I will try to fix with deoxit when it arrives)...

Thank you for the intel I will report back my findings

OK I did some reading, have a few more questions . . . If the droop is adjusted wrong, will it prevent the generator from giving full power? I've had the generator for 2000 hours, never gotten more than 2kw from it. I will deoxit the AM VM switch and the AC selector switch. Need to confirm...

Thank you all! I've got some reading to do . . .

Thank you for the replies, good info! I ordered some deoxit today, and will report back when it arrives and I try it out. How do I adjust the droop control?

Hey folks I've got an 802a generator about 2500 hours It has never given the rated power output. It is usually happy at about 2,000 watts. Anything above that and it surges. It just started disconnecting power and the red overload light comes on. Only pulling 1600 watts of power. I have my...

The drive shaft angle is pretty steep on the back of the M1078 ( and all the others) What do you think about shimming the axle under the springs 1/2" to 0". This would turn the axle a little to face the drive shaft with a little bit less of an angle. Thoughts?

Nevermind I am a knucklehead. It appears the Tiger tool presses on the sides not through the cap Thanks for the replies
