Did the load test at 100% today for 6 hours non-stop. Went without issue. Didn't have a smooth idle after taking the load off but it is what it is. Still need to get the fuel gauge going! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOIyTQOPwI0

Rest of the stuff I needed for the fan came in today. Wired it up & plan to test it tomorrow. Thank you everyone for the help! If time permits this weekend, I am going to do an extended load test on it to see if any issues come up. Maybe 5 hours or so at 100%.

Always nice to just use the equipment instead of just working on it. I found a very cheap alternative for the fuel filters in these units. Search R12T on eBay. I got one with a complete bowl for $16.

I changed the oil & loosened the fuel injection pumps again. Made sure they were clean under the shims & what not. Torqued them back up. Ran for a little while & did see oil come back out but I'll need to run it under load for a long while to see if it really did the trick. Got an expandable...

That was my first thought & a good idea but with how I use my trailer, I didn't think it would be the best option. A lot of the miles I drive with it a true off-road. Lots of mud, rocks, & tall brush. I was worried even if it's secured well that a twig or something would grab it & rip it off...

I haven't dug in deep looking, but I found a place to get a custom made tarp. Was thinking of just going the route. EDIT: I am going to have these covers available from now on.

Mounted the grounding stud that I ordered & ran a wire from the ground on the output cabinet to it. Last thing I want to do is get a fitted tarp for storage.

LED bulb came in today & it works! It also works in my 802A. Here is a link in case anyone else needs one. They have multiple colors. https://www.aero-lites.com/product-page/aero-lites-aircraft-post-light-drop-in-led-replacement-for-ge-327-24-28vdc Now, for all the fan parts to come in so I...

Thank you! I found the fan cord & have ordered it. I'm going to use my shop supplies to do the rest. I actually may have the needed connector in my bin but if not, I have something else suitable.

Alright, did a bunch of work today. Installed the new controller. Very easy. I'd almost recommend just buying this controller if you get one of these units no matter what so you never need to worry about adjustments. It's sent with labels for the wires but I found it faster to just write the...

Fantastic information. Tomorrow, I will check mine against these.

Here is a picture of the 30A switch I added for the neutral & ground bond if it is needed. Just need to run a wire out to the grounding stud now. I changed out the plastic covers to metal on the outlets. Plastic already broke a little & rattled a lot while it was running. Started looking...

So, I found the problem with the trailer lights. I believe when the lightening hit the tree the trailer was parked next to a few weeks back some of the electricity from it went through the trailer & the lights took a beating. Grounding wire on one was blown off. Fixed it by putting a new end...

I figured this could be it. I want to get the lunette modified & have an adjustable channel welded on so I can lower the ring a bit more. It's close to level but still slightly tilted forward.

So, they are different. You'd think the military would make them the same. Thank you for the picture & link. I did already find that website source yesterday. Will send you a PM now. Could use the file with clearer pictures for sure.

Another thing I thought of... have you changed your fuel filters? If you're not getting proper fuel flow, the engine will run fine with no or little load but once a heavy load is applied it will give up & sputter before it should.

Yes, it builds pressure in the system. My well fills only the storage tank. The booster builds & maintains the pressure in the system.
