First, re-connect everyting to its original position on the switch except leave pin 3 disconnected. Since when you have the switch in the first position that includes the auxillary fuel pump you hear a pump working - that is the E1 pump, the auxillary fuel pump. When you move to the next...

It would seem that if there is a short it would be on one of the pins 1,3,5,7 on S1. Since the glow plugs won't trip the breaker, then pin 1 is likely OK. So, if you disconnect pins 3,5,7 on S1 and turn s1 on you can see if CB1 trips. If it doesn't, then connect pins 3,5,7 one at a time and see...

Well, lacking any response on the correct dimension of the first mounting hole, I developed the following plan.... The TM tells me that the lunette weight should be 184# with the generator mounted.. So, I'm going to drop (place) the generator on the rails with the landling leg on an old...

I had a similar problem. The solution was: Take injectors out and have them cleaned and tested. Mine needed cleaning and one new injector tip Took both lift pumps out -- NOTE -- Take 'em out one at a time, and always leave at least one pump installed.... My injector pumps would not rotate. I...

thanks y'all

It is hard to say what this would cost. My M101a2 had a defective surge brake unit -- it was twisted enough so as to make the surge brake unit inop and non-reparable. So I bought a complete new unit from the vendor and I got the adjustable coupling instead of the lunette. Total cost was ~300...

There are two ~2" square bars that go mostly across the front of the M1101 and M1102 trailer. They appear to have a pivot bolt on the outside ends but they also seem to be blocked by the Jerry Can holder. Can anyone tell me the purpose of those bars?? z

The vendor that actually makes this hitch for the military offers an adjustable coupling as an option. It installs directly into the M101 surge brake assembly, and was engineered and made to go in this hitch. He actually made some for the military too. I put one in and installed a bulldog 2"...

I'm mounting an 802a on a M116a3 trailer. The mounting rail is already installed on the trailer but I'll have to drill some holes in the trailer mounting rail where the 802a skid attaches. So, all I need is the dimension from the rear of the trailer to the center of the first hole (rear most) on...

Thanks, I've got the manual, but there are always little nuances or techniques or tooling or "gotchas" that can make the job easier. Just looking for someone who has been down this road.. z

Has anyone any tips and experience in removing the generator head from an 803a? I'm sure there are some tricks to doing this and I'd like to collect as many of them as I can before I dig in.... thanks z

Interestingly, it is an EATON switch (p/n 8905K4519), but does not appear on their web site. In addition it is made overseas.

This switch works more like a latching relay than a switch. If you look at the switch from the back with pin 1 being on the top left the connections inside the switch are mirror images of themselves. So, 4 and 5 are normally closed, as are 2 and 3. 5 and 6 are normally open as are 1 and 2...

This is no ordinary switch. The common pins are pins 2 and 5. Pins 1 and 4 are not used but have an odd configuration similar to pins 3 and 6. Pins2 and 3 are normally connected, and when the switch is moved down that connection breaks. Pins 5 and 6 are normally open and when the switch is...

That's S-5 all right. I got a quote from Madonna somebody at a vendor -- I gave her the part number directly off of the switch. Price quoted for ONE switch.... $498.00 EACH. So, the extra 802a that I bought for parts just paid for itself 'cause it had a good S-5 in it!!! I'm going to put...

Does anyone have or know of a source for the AC interrupter switch? I thought it would be easy to find, but I was wrong. Anyone have a 'work around' for that switch?

I think that once the rating gets beyond "H", like H7 that the unit is really bad. I don't have a lot of experience with the codes, but the H7's that I've seen truly warranted the label. The one and only "A" unit that I got I would classify as a "G"

Well, here is a big shout out to Tom, m35-tom for his explanation of how the fuel systems work (and don't work) in these units. The problems it had were clogged injectors and two siezed up injector pumps. The injectors sure looked bad for a gen with only 41 hours on it. As of 1600 today...

Well - Regarding the pump dot and pin ---My friend Chuck Ledtje always told me there was no such thing as a 50/50 chance...

Well, I got the pump working(?) and installed. Putting the push rod back in was an interesting task. I wasn't sure which way it went together, but in the end I aligned the dot on the rod with the pin and, given the rotation and the up and down motion it appeared that it would pass fluid and not...
