These units are made to generate a small voltage without the regulator. The output to the convenience outlet follows a different path than the output to the terminals in the lower left of the unit. If you are getting a small 20 - 30 or so volts out of the convenience outlets then it could be...

There is a small button on the right side of the GFI controller -- it looks like a rocker switch. You can see and access that button with the front panel open. You can only access that button from the inside of the control box with the panel down. Sometimes it is hard to see 'cause there are...

That kind of performance is unacceptable. If they contracted to sell you serial number ABC, then that's what you should get. Even if it takes this dame 12 hours to find it. Y'know, if you bought a beat up 803a that had caught on fire for 27 dollars and when you went to pick it up you tell them...

If you are still looking, I have a 2 cyl take out engine that ran well before it was removed. I believe that the hours on it were around 70 or so. When I removed the intake manifold the glow plugs looked brand new.

There are voltage regulators which have an adjustment pot in the front about in the lower center. Does anyone have any information as to what that adjustment is and what it does, and how to set it?? Not all regulators have this pot... I'm thinking that the newer (whatever newer means here)...

Y'know if one looks at the diagnostic port he'll see that very few pins are used. It wouldn't take much to swap out that large connector for something smaller that has both the Jack and Plug side. Done well, it could look pretty spiffy. A wheatstone bridge is used to measure resistance...

Inside that regulator is a bridge rectifier on the quad input side, and a diode across the output terminals.. There are also two FET transistors (those are the large ones with the aluminum heat sinks). The regulator that I fixed had that diode across the two output terminals shorted. In...

One can buy the hose on ebay from England. It is an odd metric size. I've found that the old hoses can sometimes not exactly leak, but "weep" whereby the whole hose has fuel apparently coming out. New hose will fix that. I also use those spring clamps on all the connections just to be sure...

I use a quick disconnect on the ground cable. A former Marine told me that they used to pop open the CB1 to keep the batteries from draining over time (unused). I like the quick disconnect.

If L1 is rated at 52 amps then it is 52 amps. The L1 52 amps is the same as the L3 52 amps and is NOT additive. Think of it this way... if in a 110 volt circuit the L1 is drawing, say 10 amps, then the neutral is carrying 10 amps as well, and you wouldn't add the 10 +10 to make it 20. Since...

Thanks for the feedback. You have my e-mail if you need other parts. z

The relay I was speaking of is mounted behind the main control box. There are three relays back there. The contactor, engine fault and glow plug relays. That red button shuts down or enables the engine fault relay if I remember correctly. I've found that I can never solve two problems at once...

I have some body hardware for an 803a. I definitely have spare twist lock assemblies. You can PM me if you are still in need zarathustra

The AC interrupt switch is a weird switch. It is not a normal on-off-on switch. That's why it cost hundreds of dollars new. It is actually two switches in one housing. Pushing the switch up causes one side of the switch to operate, and pushing it down causes the other side to operate. I've...

The last voltage regulator I repaired had the diodes shorted, but ALSO had one bad FET transistor. I replaced both of the FET's. The 2 FET's are the large flat transistors that are glued to the heat sinks on either end of the regulator board. They can be tough to find, so if you have a...

You have got several things working (against you) all at once. If it was me I would forget about generating electricity and work on the shutoff problem. If the emergency shutoff switch does not shut off the system, then that is where I'd start. But before I did that I would do one other test...

I'm trying to help this guy out -- The flywheel I have has 88-20234 printed on the side and 170-4278 embossed in the flywheel. It came from EITHER an 802a or 803a, 'cause I've dismantled one of each and I only have one flywheel left. Any other flywheel in my shop is from a F head Jeep, so...

If I remember correctly, the main fuel pump is high pressure, low volume whilst the aux pump is low pressure High volume. The Airtex units must be manufactured to an order, not to inventory. Airtex recommended 8135 when I called them. But perhaps they were just trying to get me off the line and...

I've got a few of the Facet pumps, but I've found too many of them that are in "New, DOA condition". I've taken them apart and got one or two working, but I'm suspicious of their ability to deliver enough fuel at 100% load. I have a request to Southern Automotive, and we'll see how or if they...
