TM for the 803 says: Note: Each wire makes 4 turns through the current transformer.

The Constant Current source is a power supply capable of providing a constant current regardless of voltage. Just the opposite of a constant voltage supply or battery charger. So no, the Battery Tender or wall wart supply won't fill the bill. I use a laboratory grade power supply that has a...

I suspect the battery is shot especially since it was so low on water. Probably badly sulphated. You might try this. See sections 5.6 and 5.7. http://www.concordebattery.com/Chairman_Technical_Manual.pdf Requires a Constant Current source to implement. Around 700 mA. Used this process on my...

I assume you saw your Freq gauge was at 55 Hz.

S6 would be the re-connection switch. Download the MEP-002A manuals from here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155935-All-the-TM-s-you-need-to-work-on-the-MEP-002A .... to get familiar with the 002A

If you replace the diodes it's recommended that they get replaced with 1N5408's. They have a higher PRV rating than the stock ones. There is also a thread where someone replaced the stock A1 with a SX460...

You could easily tie the temperature limit switch into the oil pressure switch circuit or the high coolant temp switch circuit. If the temperature limit switch activates it will cause the set to shut down and display a Low Oil Fault or a High Coolant Temp fault depending on which you tie it to...

You'd want to add a temperature sensor so that if the temperature inside the container gets too high it'll shut down the generator should the fan fail or the inlet get clogged somehow.

Just adding this for others that find this thread and are looking for options. It was also reported that the Stewart Warner 284M gauge is a drop in replacement too. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?173222-Fuel-Gage-malfunction&highlight=284M

If you add a GFCI outlet like the one you listed be sure to put a circuit breaker or fuse between it and the lugs. The GCFI in the outlet is not a circuit breaker and will not trip if overloaded.

I just spent some time looking at the mechanical governor operation and the two stop screws. The upper vertical locking bolt sets the governor spring tension and limits the travel of the black STOP RUN knob toward the RUN position. The lower horizontal locking bolt and with spring pin sets the...

I believe the bolt adjusts the RUN position of the mechanical governor which in turn sets the spring tension to the governor arm.

There certainly shouldn't be a gap between the target and the magnet as shown in pic 4 when the set is off and the target is pushed by hand toward the magnet. It should travel all the way to the magnet and stick. No calk (epoxy?) on my magnets. I noticed the locking wire is missing from the...

Keep in mind that if one runs the 802 in 120 v mode to get the 52 amps and connecting the trailers L1 & L2 together the Neutral wiring from the generator all the way to the RV breaker panel must be capable of handling the 52 amps. Normally when feeding 240 single phase from the 802 (L1 & L2...

When the Battery Chargers were manufactured by TRC they used a couple of zip ties to secure the toroid coil to the PCB. Over time due to age and heat the zip ties fracture and allow the toroid to come loose and vibrate about. During use the toroid leads fracture causing the battery charger to...

I just checked my two 831's for broken zip ties. Unit #1 all good. Zip ties in tact. Unit #2 - YIKES!!!! Both zip ties busted and the toroid was just floating around. Removed some of the old zip ties. The zip tie parts encased in the conformal coat I left. Didn't want to risk damaging...

Possibly... When you are running at 100% load the voltage across R10, R11 & R12 ought to be ~5.6 VAC based on my calculations. Or if at 50% load ~2.8 VAC. Check it if you get a chance the next time you run it at one of those loads. I too am looking at 12-20" of snow over here in Pepperell, MA.
