It's not "idle" you are trying to achieve. The set isn't designed to idle. It needs to always run at a constant 1800 RPM which is 60 Hz.
The governor is suppose to handle maintaining 1800 RPM regardless of load.
Ted,
Your reading at 90% load was close enough and reading 10.4 VDC. Was just what I was hoping to see for a reading near full load.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to run the test for me!
And yes, I am working on another "goody" for the 802/803's :cool:
Looking for someone to measure the DC Exciter Voltage in an 803A when running at 100% Load.
Measurement taken at the A1 Voltage Regulator across terminals 5 & 6.
Thank you in advance!
Guy and others following...
It runs again! :clinto:
I ended up popping the top cover off, muffler and air cleaner for better access to the injectors and IP's.
I then marked the sides of the IPs and the top shims with nail polish to mark where they were adjusted to.
When it last ran I knew the...
Guy,
I hope the grandson is on the mend.
Thx for the info on the possibility of the injectors jumping out of the rack. Will pull them, inspect and post up what I find.
Found that the fuel rack isn't sliding right when the shutoff solenoid retracts to the run position.
If I reach thru the hole for the droop adjustment and push a bit on the rack it pops to the right.
Seems there is a bit of friction for a fraction of and inch and then it slides free.
I can get...
Tried starting it this afternoon. No love...
Tried starting with Fault Reset pushed. Same result.
I cracked one of the hard lines on one of the IP's and cranked it via S1. No spray.
Fully removed the nut and made sure line was free from IP. Cranked it via S1. No fuel at all.
Stop solenoid...
No fault lights when cranking. All fault lamps good.
Will try pushing Fault Reset while cranking and let you know.
Fuel solenoid pulling in as it should and have fuel flow so there shouldn't be any other electrical reason it won't start.
It has the original Facet cube fuel pump. That failing was my first thought that's why I checked for good flow at the return line.
I do have an Airtex E1074 as a spare so I could try popping that in and see.
I'd expect the set to at least fire a few times when I get the no start issue due to...
My 802A has developed an intermittent starting problem. It has me baffled.
I've had it for about 4 years and has always promptly started. It gets used almost weekly to test products I build for the 802/803 such as the Remote Start and an "new" product.
Today I was using the 802 to test...
Correction, hadn't had my coffee yet...
With the set OFF check the position of the 120/240 switch under the inverters clear cover.
Might want to toggle it a few times and then leave it in the 120/240 position.
Then...
Remove the 4 screws holding the red safety cover over the inverters output...
Is the throttle linkage adjusted per the TM such that the gap between the magnet and the target is 5/16" at no load?
Can you measure the voltage at the lugs from L1 to Neutral and then from L2 to Neutral and let us know what you read?
The inverter itself senses and determines if there is an Overload/Short Circuit OL/SC) situation. The K8 OL/SC fault relay is inside the inverter.
On the surface it might appear that your inverter has gone south.
My 802 has the older GFCI without the breaker and the in line fuse installed in it.
It was in it when I purchased the set. Here is a pic of the in line fuse holder in my set.
Battle Short must be OFF to start the generator. Check that.
Do you hear the fuel pump run when you put S1 in the Prime/Run position?
Do you hear the "clunk" of a solenoid when you move S1 to the PREHEAT position?
Do you hear the "clunk" of a solenoid when you move S1 to the START position...
