I think there are a number of unanswered questions in this thread already that would be beneficial towards narrowing the help.

If the gauge is reading true, I would question the integrity of the voltage regulator. But a simple multimeter into the outlet while the gauge is dancing will tell you definitively if its the gauge or something else.

But think of how great the fuel efficiency will be at only 300RPM... where do I sign up?

Been quite a few 400hz anchors coming up lately. Maybe indicative of what's left in the surplus pile more than anything that they are starting to move out.

How many 803s you want to buy BACK at what you sold them for? Thats the real question....

Glad you are happy with it Bruce! Once a month, with a good load for 30 min to an hour (min 50%, as close to capacity as you can manage even better), should be sufficient. There is no right answer, but do keep the fuel in the machine fully picked with antigel, biocide, and your favorite...

Yeah go with filters and clean out the prefilter on the pump if present. Water seperator too. After all thats done, prime the pump and disconnect at the end of the hard fuel line and see if you are getting fuel into the return system.

The smaller HMMWV trailers are worth more to sell off, if you are looking for something to never leave the property the bigger one is the way to go. Yeah I use an inverted drop pintle hitch on my F250 to get to the right height on the bigger trailers.

Those bigger trailers are definitely harder to sell off. If you have a use for it though personally, you won't find something built better for anywhere near the price.

@Ray70 can get you squared away, and local only down in Rhode Island.

You probably have identified the root cause of the no-run condition. We shall see.

The spring that pushes the metering pump pins 'open' isn't as strong as you think... especially if this set has been getting harder to start before you acquired it, it can fatigue the return rate of the spring. If the fuel rack moves freely without them installed, that's good. The fuel shutoff...

Those pins should rotate relatively freely. Perhaps you should give the metering pumps a couple days in a can of carb cleaner to see if they loosen up before reinstallation.

Its the bottom of #15

I think the plug you are referencing is a mesh screen. That fill neck assembly should pull out (and twist to remove). That screen should not be plugged, its to catch trash in your fuel.

Those aux floats go bad all the time, no idea why. In a pinch you can bypass them to keep a machine running.

Turned off. The leads can stay on the batteries of these smart maintainers, no issues. If they are running while the alternator is producing DC, you can get into an overcharging situation.

Those ears are only useable for alternate stationary uses, and being a cast block... You aren't losing any inherent strength with them gone.

We got our power back just after 5PM yesterday. Just under 24hrs on genset, never missed a beat.

If you only knew how many folks in your same position I unsuccessfully talked out of buying an 803. Knowing your actual usage is invaluable.
