I contacted the UPS Store in Chambersburg I use for ground shipments and they do consolidate multiple sales and prep for freight shipping. Here is the store info: The UPS Store 975 Wayne Ave. Chambersburg Pa 17201 Phone: 1-717-267-2700 Fax: 1-717-267-1998 Email: store3040@theupsstore.com...

I was looking to have the same question answered. I have a couple lots at each that need consolidated and prepped for shipping. I have used a UPS Store in Mechanicsburg a few times for small items with good success.

Is there a way to identify F1/F2 wires from the rotor to the exciter? Neither of the wires are marked.

Well I am back. Started out on the generator to do a load test today, but started having issues. First, whenever I start the generator it never automatically excites, I have to make sure to hold the start. When this happens the frequency meter jumps to 65 then to zero then stabilizes at 60...

Good news, I ordered a new exciter and installed it today. Everything works great now, still have to load test but she's producing power! Wasn't too bad of a job swapping it out. Thanks again to Guyfang for helping me troubleshoot this problem.

I was watching quite a few auctions, and a lot battery chargers was on my list. GP had a starting bid on 19 charges for $2800 which was ridiculous, but someone bid. Total out the door $3295 for 19 chargers, making $173 each. On eBay they sell for $85-$130. Wow, who the heck is buying!

The only plus for me is with the current surplus market is it's making me go through my warehouse, which full of old inventory, purchased from GL that I never got around to selling. The good ole days of buying triwalls full of hundreds of different items are long gone.

I agree, watching the auctions today and amazed at what lots are going for. Buyers are just paying crazy prices compared to what they sold for on GL.

Great report Demoh. I recently picked up a 831 with only 2 hours on it. Unfortunately the inverter was removed and I am still on the hunt for the part. I am planning on doing the same thing, run my MEP-1040 during the day and an 831 at night.

Thanks for the heads up. I am using a Fluke 77 for testing. The exciter stator was good at 11 ohms. Th exciter rotor leads I got .5 on all leads. I couldn't get any readings measuring the rectifiers. When testing the exciter rotor I was getting a reading from both F1+ and F2 with the rotor...

I am going to test the generator rotor tomorrow. Hopefully it checks out and I only need the exciter rotor (201-3466) and rectifiers (358-0070 & 358-0069)

Well I went through the TM and it appears the exciter rotor and rectifiers need replacement. I really appreciate Guyfang assisting me in troubleshooting this problem. I have messed around with 802/803 generators for a few years and this has been a great learning experience for me. Now it's...

Ok, thank you. I will get on this and hopefully get it figured out.

I have no HZ or AC voltage. From my interpretation of Guyfangs guidance - I should be getting 24v to A1 6 on the A1 but I am only getting 9 volts. I have 26 volts leaving the K15-8 to the R14. 24v leaves the R14 at 10 volts to the CR2 and then back to TB5-17.

Well I though I had it. R14 was getting 26 volts on one side and 9 volts out the other side. I checked another working generator I have and the R14 had 25 volts on each side. I then removed an R14 from a parts unit and installed it on this 803 and got the same results as before but instead of...

I have 24v coming out of K15 but only 8.99 volts at A1 F+

Thank you for your help Guyfang. Your a great asset to SS! I'm done for the night as well and will hit it 1st thing in the morning.

Just tried it again and I do have a constant 24v on #7 when holding the start on the S1

Ok, idiot award to me, I misread your post and measured the leads going to the mag pick-up....... Just measured like I was supposed to and got 3 volts.

0 volts at the mag pick-up
