    831a mobility

    Hey folks, thought I'd do a review of my experience of trying to keep my 831a mobile. When I first acquired it , I put it on a 40"x48" trailer and intended on parking it next to my 803a on the power end of my house. After finding out how fickle these 831s are to moisture, I moved it into...

    802-803 fuel pump

    The square pump fittings do swap, but the overall length now (90-pump-45) is increased by 1-5/8" , the hard line can connect but now the input line is a tight stretch to reconnect.

    802-803 fuel pump

    The Cube Faccett, reuse the 90 & 45 on E8135. I've done a Cube to E1074 replacement, but not the E8135. Thought someone recently did but can't find the thread.

    802-803 fuel pump

    Has anyone replaced the Faccett primary pump with the E8135 yet? It looks like a very tight stretch to get the inlet hose to reach ?

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Do you leave the machine outdoors? I think they are quite susceptible to moisture & humidity. I live in Florida, hot & humid, mine was throwing the overheat fault minutes after starting. I opened up the fault indicator, no visible moisture, but I dried it out awhile with a hair dryer...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    I think Guyfang quoted one time " If you don't have Popeye forearms", you can reach in through the fuel filler and reach the float switch to check if it's stuck in the low position.

    Generator purchase assistance needed SouthEast 10kW

    003A's are getting far and very few on the auction sites. 803A's are still available, pretty pricey if they run, + 10% + state & local tax & GPs credit card fee. Then your recovery/shipping fees. I would recommend just looking at the above mentioned fellas offerings. If you can get by with...

    Generator purchase assistance needed SouthEast 10kW

    Where are you located, I'm in Summerfield Florida. From what I've seen at auction lately, were pretty beat up and high prices and far from southeast. Jimmy has good units at fair prices. Perhaps he would part with one of those 003s that need work. I'd be willing to help you fix it up, I'm...
