I left feedback for the wellnuts but the rest of the feedback will have to wait. Apparently you can't leave multiple feedback on the same day. Thanks for all the parts you have sold me Mike. Ted
The recent selling prices are ridiculous. A 6 hour 803A on Govplanet sold for $7500. This is for an untested unit that could turn out to be a boat anchor. Less than a year ago I won a comparable unit for Just over $2000. I wouldn't even bid for at least 6 months until the natural disaster panic...
I have a Honda EU2000 and it is a great little generator but I got a MEP831 for the exact same reason Chris did. It wouldn't run either my pump or water heater[with load management] at my camp. Just remember to add over $300 to the price because there is a really good chance you will have to...
He should have kept his mouth shut. Trying to weasel a measly $100 out of a guy who is trying to help him just shows he has absolutely no class. It is going to cost him way more than $100 when he finds no help on the only forum that really could help him.
There are lots of components that are common with the 803a if he parts it out. For instance I bought a fault panel from Daybreak for my old 803a that came off a mint 813
I have been through this process on two units. Did all the fine tuning, magnet adjustments etc. It would run fine then for no apparent reason would turn schizophrenic. I persevered for months. They were the most frustrating generators I ever worked on. I finally listened to Chris's advice and...
I have a 7.5 hp phase converter with a step up transformer to run my 3 phase Bridgeport, metal lathe and radial arm saw. I have been reading about VFD's to power any other 3 phase equipment I might buy. I have been looking on Ebay but I am not sure what specs I should be looking for. I also have...
If you were more familiar with Guy's contributions I doubt you would ever call him arrogant. He bends over backwards to help out anyone who asks. It must be very frustrating when questions arise that are easily answered by reading the more superficial parts of the manual. I saw his post as an...
A brake that is used for window capping might be too light for the gauge of aluminum for the doors. I have a finger brake that would do it but unfortunately no time to use it.

In my area many electricians now refuse to install Generac generators due to excessive breakdowns. I would advise googling Generac reviews before I thought of buying one.
Since you are nice enough to follow up I thought i better get my ass in gear and go test it. I filled the tank, started the unit and then switched to the auxiliary fuel position. I siphoned fuel out of the tank as it ran to save time and it cycles perfectly. It shuts off at about 80% full. I...
Again you are the best Guyfang. Yes I switched it when the fuel was low. It worked great until it didn't shut off. I will test it again when I get back. I have to spend the evening getting all my fishing gear together. I owe you mucho premium beer. Do they deliver in Germany? PM me your address.
The brass wellnuts arrived within 2 days so I decided to finish everything. The wellnuts are very substantial so I pulled out the nitrile wellnut and replaced it. A word of caution the nut is left hand thread which makes sense. The shutoff is right hand thread and tightens everything when it is...
I couldn't stay away from the **** thing. OCD kicked in. I should have taken a better look at the Amazon sensor last night. There is a multi holed extension that isn't on the original. If that is removed it is identical in every way to the original. I removed the filler neck. It took about 20...
