Here's what my stuck pump looked like. The large spring at the bottom is compressed. The fuel lever that fits into the rack couldn't rotate left or right. Took the top off the fuel pump with a 17mm. It's normal right-hand threads. Looking inside, the plunger is the shinier piece in the...

Similar thing happened to me earlier this year. The #2 injection pump stuck in the up position and wouldn't let the fuel rack move. I took the top of the pump off and tried filling it with carb cleaner and letting it soak overnight. After doing that off and on for a couple weeks with no...

When you changed the oil, did you by chance add oil using the fill cap on the valve cover? If the oil was cold, it could take a while for the oil to run down through the block, which could hide overfilling for a little bit.

Is this for the 804A (Isuzu engine) or 804B (Yanmar engine)? Or are the filters interchangeable?

Anyone know where I can find an MEP-803A Exhaust Hood Seal Assembly (p/n: 88-20517, 88-20518, 88-20519)? This is the assembly that seals around the muffler exhaust port where it comes through the top cover. Need the 3 pieces circled below: Here is a picture of the actual pieces. I posted a...

Do any warning lights come on?

I've always heard that you shouldn't mess with that reconnection switch while the engine is running.

Can you tell what the wire size is going to/from the breaker? That could give a hint, too. 14 Awg --> 15 amp 12 Awg --> 20 amp 10 Awg --> 30 amp

Is there a data plate on the generator with model and output ratings?

A couple years ago, I built a custom trailer with help from my nephew and brother-in-law. The 2 main things I added to the trailer were an aluminum auxiliary tank / toolbox combo that I found on craigslist and an electrical panel that I put together with a variety of outlets. The goal was to...

There are lots of brands that can work. Since it has a John Deere engine in it, your local agriculture or construction dealership should have the appropriate fluids. No idea what they'll charge you though.

Are you using the 802 in 240V or 120V mode? If you're going the 120V-only route, that might explain why the electrician guided you towards a 50A receptacle.

Civilian generator trailer (empty) from WI to SD-ish I'm looking for someone to pick up a civilian generator trailer (MGT1E) in Germantown, WI and bring it to (or towards) Sioux Falls, SD. It's got a single axle, electric brakes, lunette ring, and currently an empty bare frame. Overall...

If any of the burners were on, but not set to high, they would be cycling on/off attempting to maintain their temperature setting. That would cause the load to vary and the ammeter to jump around.

Looks like these are still available if anyone is interested. Search for: "LMS Lichfield LTD jerry can adapter with fuel pipe"

You could mount that receptacle on an 803, too, but you'd likely want some sort of fuse or circuit breaker.

Some of the reset 803's have engines with Lister Petter plates on them. Can someone post a picture of an engine's data plate? Maybe that will have the build number on it somewhere.

Here are a couple fuel filter heads that might work: Donaldson P560382 - has 1/4 NPT inlet & outlet Donaldson P562263 - has 1/2-20 UN inlet & outlet (works with o-ring boss) Both of those heads have M16x1.5 threads for the stock primary fuel filter. I've used these heads on my auxiliary fuel...

I haven't seen those before. I wonder if they're related to what appears to be electrical tape on the bottom wire going into S17?

Two years ago, I got a good deal on an 803 that did some time in the sand. After I got it home I changed all of the fluids & filters, added fresh fuel and a pair of batteries, replaced the dead primary fuel pump, and spent some time cleaning the sand out of the switches on the control panel...
