My 831a has no problem running the 1 hp submersible well pump at my camp.

Or you could blow a whole lot of cash and buy a suspect 40193 Facet from Green Mountain for $243 plus shipping

Just received my E1074 Airtex pump a week earlier than there revised date so they are now in stock at Summit Racing.

I just talked to the local Yanmar service mechanic. He said he has never put a relacement pump in a Yanmar engine that was above 5-7 lbs and that there is no way a 30lb pump is necessary. In many situations the L70 is just gravity fed. Interesting.

J&N electric just sent me a quote of $139.69 plus shipping for the 40193 pump

OK thanks Kurt that makes a lot more sense. I should have read your previous post with more care. I see now you made that clear then.

I reached out to Facet/Purolator and received a reply from Paul Puleo National sales manager. I asked if they had a pump with the same specs as the 40193. He informed me that I could buy the 40193 from J&N Electric. I advised him that I would prefer a pump that is still in production. He replied...

I am going to order a E1074 as a spare for the 803A anyway so I may try it in the 831A just to prove a point. Now that winter has finally arrived though it will probably be in the spring. On the other hand now that I am retired I may be looking for something interesting to do.

Green mountain generators is selling the Facet 40193 as a part for the 803A/802A. Also a guy on Ebay is too. Maybe they are compatible.

Wow thanks Guys, I knew the nsn's weren't the same but it also looks like the specs are not compatible. Everything on the 831A seems to be higher pressure than the 803A

Does anyone know if this Airtex pump can be used in the 831A. I have the Airtex pump in my 803A and a Facet pump that has no visible identifier in my 831A. It would be great to stock a spare that fits both. The 831A pump has a flexible line on one end so it shouldn't be hard to retrofit.

And where would a guy search for new crated stators?

I just went out to the shop and rotated my new spare alternator. Mine had 4 bolts and to access one of the bolts I had to remove the 2 bolts holding the cap that has the specs and wiring diagram [don't know what it is called] so I could lift it and get the last bolt out. A few taps and the two...

Green Mountain Generators says that the alternator they sell is turned 90 degrees but they don't explain that you have to rotate it and how to do it. I bought a new alternator for a spare on Ebay for $68 and it is rotated too. I wasn't aware it had to be rotated to fit. Thanks for the explanation

Here you go Guyfang

Also I don't want to muddy the waters but once some help is accepted would it be too much to get a 'Sticky" for MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts???

It makes a lot of sense to move non generator stuff to a new thread and then rename the remaining info as generator only. There are offers of assistance from 3 of the most knowledgeable contributors on the site. I'm sure they would have no problem deciding the best way to do it.

I agree a transformer is the way to go. I had a similar problem with my shop phase converter set up. I tried to cheat by 20 volts and fryed a VFD. Expensive lesson. I bought a used 460 V transformer for under $200. They are pretty common.

Sounds like a blast. I'm sure you could convince a few knowledgeable people from steel soldiers to come help you in return for some fishing.

I agree tarping the whole unit is not a good idea. A vinyl custom made tarp that only goes 1/2 way down keeps the water out and allows enough ventilation to prevent condensation at least in my area. It isn't as humid as Florida though.
