Lookin good. Also looks like you have it close to the building wall. You may want to leave room if you need to get into the starter. Can be a royal pain working upside down and manhandling the heavy starter. BTDT

Rusty, JimC does (did) the digital meters and gauges. Triple Jim does a/c-d/c voltage regulators. David

Tried the mothball route on the boat. Mice chewed up the mothball box and built a nest with it. Haven't found anything yet that would discourage mice (other than the stray cats)! David

Like the stacks. You will be pleased when you get it connected and under load. My 003 with 002 backup (backup to the backup), is the cat's meow! David

15kw? A 003a (or 803), will more than suffice when used in a single house application. The 15kw water cooled and up are prone to wet stacking if not loaded enough. My 003 runs water heater, water pump, sewer pump, dryer, washer, oil furnace, freezer, 2 refrigerators, electric oven, all...

Gimpyrobb, Can't take credit for them. Jimc is the master of production and sales on these. David

Ah huh, now we are giving away our ages. :-?

Wow! What a trip! Glad you got home ok. Glad that you actually got home at all.... What a mess that would have been if they decided not to take a chance and "cuff you and stuff you". Now the fun begins. I hope you are able to get it going without too many issues with the unit. David

I did the beta testing on Triple Jim's dcvr on one of my 002A's. Needless to say, I am thoroughly impressed. The unit is configured to drop in with 3 nuts, 3 wire screw connections and two solder connections as stated. I had it installed in 15 minutes and running shortly thereafter. I ran...

I believe the use of either cost me two pistons on one of my 002's. Now, a little WD40 won't hurt so bad. But what was said above, if you do not have white smoke out the exhaust, you have other issues that need to be fixed before it will start.

The fact that the choke smooths it out tells me that it is fuel related. You still have something blocking the passages in the carb. The carb needs to come completely apart to insure you get to all the little passages. Some have welsh plugs (expandable) that have passages underneath. You can...

If you haven't done so already, I would go over all the screw connections in the control panel to make sure they are getting good connection. Including the vr board. Resolved some of my phantom issues. Also check the all ground connections. David

I second that-find a fuel supplier you can trust and stick with them. One of my last positions on a local military base (won't disclose which one), I had to deal with a low bid contractor for #2 fuel oil. I think they found every tanker load that no one else wanted. Ended up with microbial...

Ratch, I sat on the fence like you for some time. I did not have the benefit of having a 8xx series. Only had the comments here. Just had a 002 and 003 for comparison. Have oil furnace and everything else electric, including well (wood stove heats the house). Hooked up the 002 and with load...

Ed, Maybe you lucked out or it is "close enough". When I first started fooling with these things, I ended up with an 002 with the IP 3 teeth out. Ran, but didn't seem to have the hp. Did not run it more than a few minutes though. Good luck! David

My 003 on house duty puts out white/blue smoke when first started. Clears up after 10 to 15 minutes or faster with a load. I run monthly for 1/2 to 1 hour and try to put a 100%+ load on it every 2 to 3 months. Was also worried about burning oil, but the level hasn't changed in a year of...

Another way I load test my 003's-visit a local hvac contractor and see it they have any old heat pump indoor sections with the fan and electric heaters for free or very little cost. I found one with the 240 volt fan and 3 5000 watt heaters that I hook up to the 003 and load right up to 15000...

I did the searching for the 24 volt regulator for my 002 and 003's a year ago. Very few sources for these. Did end up finding them for around your mentioned price. One member mentioned using a 120/24 volt charger plugged into the convenience outlet. Just needs to be enough amps (6 to 8?), to...

You can go the hydraulic shop route, but you do not need to. The fuel and oil cooler lines are made to be replaceable in the field by the military. It took me a while to figure it out, but the end fittings do come apart and are reusable. If you can find a flare fitting that will screw into...

The experts will be along shortly, but I would think you can remove anything that is not associated with the 120/240 circuit and connect the genny leads directly to the breaker. Just trace each wire and might need to add a terminal bloc for proper genny lead connection. If you pick the digital...
