-No load 61hz set runs at 1815 rpm
- fuel shutoff, engaged /disengaged
- rpm/hz lever ( at this setting , maintains hz from 59.5 to 61 between no load and full load)
- IP position ( installed with shut off lever in off position and rotated counter clockwise...
Thanks guyfang. I knew I had to slow down last night, so I put the tool down and started typing instead :). I did not touch the droop adjustment myself but I can tell that the plug had been removed a few time ( paint gone and took mark) . Was very careful to follow the iP reinstall and...
changed all filters, rubber lines. Set not smoking at any load when running and not smoking when bogging down. Will take the hard line out. Agree it has to be lack of fuel or air. Was hoping it was something you guys may have dealt with before.
Followed TM on IP reinstalled. Fuel shutoff lever in full closed position , I made sure IP lever was in fuel rack slot then rotated IP counter clockwise before tightening
Took all 4 IP out , soaked, cleaned reassembled. All four were "seized in varnish" for having not run for 7 years or so , I'm not equipped to pressure test, but metering level and plunger were moving freely when I reinstalled them
Recently got the 803 running.
Put approx 18hrs run time in the last week performing various load test. Have access to various 5A, 10A , 20 and 23A 240v load. I was able to bring the load to 60A - 115% - Once and set ran fine. Problem is I can't do it consistently. If I try to step up the...
Using my 2 radiant heater, the f18h heater, and a 4800w shop heater brings me to 52 A at 240v . With added bonus that the load bank is heating the shop ;)., I added the shelter before the storm this AM and noise level is reasonable at approx 15 feet
Ran the set for 3 hours tonight split between 60% ,80% and 100% load. First time running for any length but If anything it run smoother now that it worked for an hour at 100%. . All the numbers look good at 52A.. found an old post from guyfang suggesting to close K1 before applying...
I read about contact cleaners on the forum. And have a can of deoxit on order should be here by the weekend.
Outside Temp hovering in the -5° to - 10 °F with major snowstorm coming, should have waited a few more days before moving the 803 outside :).
Had to do major surgery to the bodywork...
Moved the 803 to its permanent location , and did initial load test.
The double throw switch and sub panel in the shop worked as planned.
Loaded at 20.6A -46.12A - 54.37A.
Water temp constant at 190°, oil pressure 40psi ,Hz from 60.5 at no load to 59.5 at 54.37
I reviewed a post from KennyO...
Thanks, just to confirm does this looks ok to you. ? The way I'm setup. The genset can't backfeed the panels as their is an interlock on both side of the double throw switch. And the genset neutral is is engaged on both side regardless?
