How are you measuring the voltage? With a meter at the terminals? If you have time please measure the voltage at the terminals. L1 - L2, L1 - L3, L2 - L3. Then measure each L1, L2, and L3 to L0. This will help troubleshoot that your reconnection switch is in the correct position and...

I've found black plastic drums an excellent fuel storage solution. I prefer to buy ones used to transport cooking oils. They are easy to clean and any trace residual oil is no issue for the fuel system of the generator.

Just as a FYI, I have a never deployed 10kw machine with virtually zero time on it. I wouldn't take less than $6k for it. You can save some $$ on a retired military generator versus buying a new generator (purchase price). If you don't have a reasonable aptitude for mechanical and electrical...

Did you look it up in the TM? The NSN and Yanmar part number is on page 237 of the -24&P manual.

In case you don't find someone to make a house call - You can post your questions here on the forum. Be sure to include any troubleshooting you've done per the technical manuals. If you haven't downloaded the TMs you should do that and do some reading. Lots of good troubleshooting info in there.

I know I've written up the grounding thing several times. Totally agree it needs to be a sticky.

I found it on Craigslist in about 30 seconds of searching.

I'm very happy to see the 803 prices coming down. I've paid more than that at auction for units.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Not spoofing you. Its not a TSI but a 420a car. We run it in the 24 Hours of Lemons. It has 3000GT brakes and a seriously modified suspension. An absolute hoot on a road course.

The talon lives in Tennessee when it's not on the track.

It does indeed. Second owner with 280k miles.

A realistic budget for a 803 that you won't have to work on too much is $3,500 a $4,000.

That budget will limit you to a 003 if you need 10kw.

The 803 is quieter.

This could be you right here. https://tallahassee.craigslist.org/hvo/d/10-15kw-continuous-run/6277530412.html

Have you done a craigslist search in your area? Military generators tend to be pretty easy to find. Since you have little experience I would strongly recommend buying one from someone that can show you that it runs and makes power.

Here I am humiliating myself. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2ucd1TGFTw_eW1PdHh5aDNibzQ

The 803 will have the better long term parts availability.

The 803 is a more current model and many of the parts are readily available. That doesn't mean cheap. Look around on auction sites and search for parts. You'll get a feel for what it costs if you break something. On the plus side it's not to likely you will break something if you treat them...
