That's what I'm hoping to get out of this. It's not bad enough to tear the engine down. Would stuck rings burn more oil or have lower compression than a broken ring? (given other conditions remain the same) One other bit of information, when a large load is applied, the engine smokes a lot...

My first generator was a 802a I snagged off CL for $800. It's older, a 1994 model, but low hours (221 hrs) and decent shape for its age. However, its always been slightly down on power and based on cold start, full load performance, blowby, etc, I would guess it's lost some compression. My...

That's a big undertaking because the entire control system is 24V. It would be a total gut job and redesign of the controls.

Have you opened the main control panel yet? I'd be curious is they piggybacked on the OEM controls or bypassed them.

Bumping this back to the top. If someone in the Denver area has an 804, I'd be willing to throw a scope on it.

I like the turtles as well. (temp power distribution) I also outfit my generators with standard twistlock receptacles.

What model is your generator?

:ROFLMAO:

Love seeing these stories of units being put to good use. My power only goes out for an hour or two. :cautious: :LOL:

Thanks for correcting me. That's refreshing that is accounting for the total load and not just L3 as shown.

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!

Did you close the contactor switch?

Hi Jack, You indicated that you are running 120/240 Vac and you are measuring 50 amps of current. My question is what leg are you measuring 50 amps on? In a split-phase system running a house, the loads on L1 and L3 are rarely balanced and the difference is current flows on the neutral line. I...

There is a lot that COULD be eliminated. The engine is very basic at its core, requiring only pressurized fuel and and a quick spin (starter) to get it running. The gen-head is a standard 12 wire with a field coil. The 12 wires could be permanently wired in 120/240v configuration. You could...

Lol, still need to mess with that feature.

It will do all the common plastics, PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, PVA, PET, etc. Where it excels is ABS or other materials that require a heated enclosure to reduce warpage, soft materials like TPU, and running multiple color prints, all at much higher speeds than other machines. It is also a...

@Icesythe7 , Between you and my friend, I broke down and invested in a better printer. It was worth every penny. The speed of the thing is incredible. The quality of print is way better too.

That is sweet!

Kurt, can you remind me what the voltage rating of the diode bridge in the VR is?

Never seen a thread, but that is totally possible. You really need to understand the controls system, but the engine and genhead are very simple at their core. If I was going that far, I would replace all the switches and relays with simplier digital controls, hardwire the genhead for...
