Diesel Addict , Chain Breaker and the others all hit it on the head.... you won't have a problem with regards to back pressure, but that long run is going to cause the exhaust to condense in the pipe causing acidic liquid to want to run downhill, so you'll need to either slope the pipe away...

Another thing I've done before cleaning the contacts ( on all switches ) is to blow them out good with an air compressor and a fine point air gun. Some of the machines that came back from Kuwait etc. were full of this super fine pinkish sand/dust. Not sure if it made any difference or not, but...

I'd really suggest you start a new thread as it now sounds like you have an oil pressure problem as well? Possibly due to fuel in the oil? Possibly not?? I would not continue running it in battle short mode if you have a known oil pressure problem!

Best to start a new thread so we can address your fuel problem. For now, NOTE: The 803A doesn't have an injection pump, it has 4 metering pumps, 1 per cyl. The only gasket between the metering pumps and the engine is only there to serve as a timing shim and to keep oil inside the motor, it does...

Essentially yes, that is what would happen if you turned it in. Basically you want to set the screw so that the generator puts out 240V when the adjustment knob on the control panel is approximately centered. However, I wouldn't suggest playing with it unless you're having a problem and unable...

Looks like they went a little heavy with the red encapsulating paint. You may need to pick some of it out with a pin to be able to get the screwdriver to work. At least you can tell no one has fiddled with it at all....

Take a look at your voltage regulator. On the front there might ( depending on mfgr. ) be a small hole with an adjustment pot located inside. That is your coarse adjustment for the VR, the external pot on the control panel is the fine adjustment. It's possible that the coarse adjustment is...

Sounds like bad batteries to me. I know you tried jumping the starter right at the starter solenoid itself, but just for your added information, inside the control panel on the back wall centered there are 2 additional solenoids, one above the other. One is for the glow plugs and the other is...

Right now there's no reason to abandon the outlet just yet and seeing that the 802 /803 sets use a GFCI breaker, I'm willing to be it will work on an 002/003 as well. We just need to see if you have a wiring issue first.

Perhaps you should further explain your setup? Is this a stand alone setup or connected to your house panel? Are the neutral and chassis ground still bonded together at the ground lug on the lower frame? Is it grounded with a dedicated grounding rod, or grounded back through your home breaker panel?

Strange that there wasn't a shim under there. Never seen one without a shim. For pump timing I meant the timing button under the cap where the pump rides on the cam. I would suggest rebuilding the pump, install it per the TM instructions and perform the "pump flow" IP timing procedure to see if...

When in 120/240 mode is sounds like there is something causing a short/overload and lugging the engine to the point that it's bogging down. First thing I would do is remove the top cover to expose the AC select switch body and the 12 wires coming out of the generator head going to the terminal...

Yes, multiple DC sources are fine. I was envisioning something different, thought he was using the gen to power the house as well. I was thinking AC in the panel from the inverters not playing well with AC from the generator.

You can do it without the filter. You're just using the canister and fuel pump as a way to push the cleaner into the IP. When done cleaning, replace the filter and dump out any extra cleaner in the canister. Then run the pumps a while longer before starting to get the cleaner pushed through the...

Regarding the seal under the delivery valve assy. it is pretty common to find it either deteriorated or missing, it's just a paper thin piece of plastic that helps hold the assembly in place during assembly. It will cost you $30+ to get a new one, but assembling vertically on a bench you don't...

How are the rest of the lines on the machine? If you want to replace them, I've found the www.DiscountHydraulichose.com is a great place to mail order custom made hoses at really reasonable prices. You select the hose type and fittings you want, select the length and they will be on your door...

For the fuel hose you can either have a cheap hydraulic hose made up using the same 5/16" JIC / -5AN fittings or just use a dremel took and cut-off wheel to slit the outer crimp cover off the existing hose and pull the barbed fittings out and put them into a new piece of 5/16" transmission...

Mudwisr, I have 2 options for you. I have the original water separator disc assembly, I also machine my own aluminum filter adapters for the 002 that allow you to convert it to a readily available spin-on filter / water separator combo. There is a link to more info in my signature. I believe you...

One of the best things I have used it the "cheap" 2' x 4' Drop ceiling tiles, the ones that are dense yellow fiberglass with a thin bumpy textured white layer on 1 side. Just peel off the white layer and use the fiberglass board. They are available at home depot and Lowes, but sometimes they...

On an 002 the fuel water separator is not a replacement part, it's just a stack of aluminum discs inside the canister, no filter etc. Are you missing the entire assembly, or were you expecting to have an element in the canister that needs to be replaced?
