Okay, so I continued after work today digging in & found my problem... still doesn't answer why my ohms readings were so high but oh well. I found the wire broken at the ring connector on L1. I previously checked this by reaching behind & grabbing for loose wires. I ended up finding it when I...

Okay, so I pulled the top cover off today to start digging. Everything looks fairly clean & noting obviously loose. It appears as if the coil lead wires going up to TBS have been messed with before making me think that someone has gone through the same tests that I am about to. Did some...

That's what I'm hoping... just a dumb loose wire or something like that. It's strange how it worked fine & then next time I started it, it didn't. Once I can pull the top off & look at everything, I will report back. I was able to use in in 3 phase mode, adjust the voltage, & it's running good...

Voltage regulator & potentiometer all tested out okay. Fuse for the QUAD mod fuse is okay. Found in 3 phase that the voltage is incorrect as well from L1. The next stuff is testing things inside the generator alternator itself. I'm very intimidated by this... both because I fine the TM's...

So, I'm up to 145 hours. Got some more problems. Oil pressure gauge was dead. Easy fix... found a broken wire. Wouldn't turn over when I got out to my camp this past weekend. disconnected the batteries & charged them up with my truck. Had to do this each time I wanted it to start. I knew this...

Yes, I did know that but didn't put it in my post. Thanks for pointing that out for those that may read this thread later on!

So, I did a weekend trip to my off grid place this past weekend. Clocked a little over 14 hours straight on the generator. No problems. Hopefully the "no fuel" ghost went away! Not the longest stay but it's the longest it's run without the fault. Installed a 5,000 watt heater for the winter...

Will do. May be a few weeks before I go for an extended stay at my off grid place but it's going with me next time. Going to gun a 5,000 watt 220v heater to keep warm.

I bottomed it out & then lifted it about 1/16th inch. I thought the same as you, so when I went in to check everything this time, I raised it up just a bit more & made sure it was as far away from the bulkhead of the tank as possible. Crossing my fingers!

I have no idea. I'm hoping that I had some sort of lose connection. My last thought is that there's something in the tank that I left in there when I worked on it & I can't see it at this point. Will keep using it until the tank is empty & put a camera in there to be 100% sure. If the problem...

My 802A will just bog down instead over tripping at overload. If I run it over 100% it will overload somewhat randomly. My best guess is if it's way to much, the engine bogging down is your overload signal.

I've put two new ones & a had the old on in there! I cycled the float a bunch of times to make sure it wasn't crazy & it did what it was supposed to bot on the meter & at the panel.

So, I took the panel off & checked all the floats & switch for the No Fuel shutdown. All tested as they should. I checked to be sure the tank didn't have anything big moving around in it that could hit the float. The float is free. The connectors are all tight & I added the zip ties as suggested...

I will just remove the box & see if there are any issues inside of it. I like the idea of using small zip ties on the connectors as well. Haven't had a chance to open it up. I just finished going through the front axle on my truck. That was a learning experience.

I should have done it with the improved well nut that I ended up putting in. I was so focused on the work & somewhat fed up with working on it, the last think on my mind was to record something. A lot of the work was done at night as well. When I open everything up to try & figure out the...

Good to know if I do it again! Thank you.

DieselGenAC beat me to it, but here is the link; https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200395476_200395476?isSearch=1659200

No kit. I did need to machine down the plate that bolts to the engine itself. The bolts lined up fine, but the shaft was a bit to short to properly mate up with the taper in the generator head. It would work but under load it slipped on the shaft. If I remember, it was ~ 0.025 total removed...

That's my video!

I found the TM .pdf files I had to suck. Went on here & found the thread where you shared them & they're much better. The ones I had couldn't be searched & I think pages were missing. This is the reason why I ended up asking questions about stuff that's in there... because I couldn't find it!
