I have ~50 ft of cord with both my 803 and 802, so I routinely bump up voltage at the machine 1 or 2 volts. https://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop-calculator.html?material=copper&wiresize=2.061&voltage=240&phase=ac&noofconductor=2&distance=150&distanceunit=feet&amperes=26&x=48&y=23 Check the...

Here's a picture of my breaker box. I forget what they call them, but there's a device that prevents my generator breaker from being on when the main breaker box is powered up. In an outage, I need to switch off the breaker box to allow the metal clip to slide out of the way so I can energize...

If you plan to use your generator for home back up some time and stand alone generation at other times you will need to manage the generator's Ground to Neutral bonding strap. I described my set up, but my generator is dedicated to home back up - I don't use it to power other things. I do need...

I've run mine at 100% (26 amps) for multiple 2, 3, 4 hour runs with a resistive load (electric stove) with no problem. Wet stacking will reduce the available power sometimes and not allow you to run at higher demand. As you step the machine up...50%....70%.....90%.....100%.....you are cleaning...

Here's what I found: My 2006 M1101 has Aurora lights....not LED, but the MFG is Aurora. I searched for Aurora Marker Lights and found this link..... http://www.auroradefensegroup.com/product/marker-lamps/ That link shows: 12446845-1 24V. Amber/Diff. LED Assy/Shell 12446845-2 24V. Red/Diff...

Confirm that the upper left ground screw is making good contact with trailer frame/body. I had similar problem a few weeks ago and that was what was wrong. I've also had to replace a light or two when I couldn't get them to work. If you need to purchase new, Erik's has them, so does Ebay...

I use 15W-40 and had the same symptoms with my 802. I believe it's got a little cylinder glaze from low demand running so I put around 100 hours of high demand run time on it. Still had some sloshing of the oil when I looked at it so I bought a manometer and confirmed good vacuum in my oil...

If you are not hung up on color this fuel gauge works well: https://armysurpluswarehouse.com/military-issue-fuel-gauge/ and the price is right. My notes say.... Water Temp Gauge: ISSPRO R8750,VDO A2C60000963, Datcon 06343-05 I like the Datcon -...

In another thread you indicated the generator is located 600 feet from the house. What size wire did you use for the run to the house?

When I was testing my 803A I had readings of: Load Meter: 104% Amps Red leg: 50.6 amps Amps Black leg: 53.6 amps Amps Neutral leg: 3.1 amps (control system / clock runs on a single leg so slightly out of balance) Because this is alternating current I do not believe you add the...
