I also like that it's translucent and you can see the fuel flowing through it.

Lol, I don't know why the lines are so terrible, but they are. I have 1994, 2007, 2009 and 2010 units. The '94 has mostly OEM fuel lines. The newest ones have the worst lines. The 803a was decomissioned for IP feedlines leaks. These were low hour units and the feedlines were falling apart...

It sounds like you have two distinct situations that would not be easily covered by one generator. The two best 1P/3P generators are the MEP-802a (5kw) and the MEP-803a (10kw). Above the power output, most are 3 phase only. Some older units can be converted to single phase, but the loads are...

Also make sure the unit has the quad-fuse and MOV mods before firing it up. Here is a link for replacing the well nut on the fuel tank drain. They are notorious for cracking and leaking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N3467JZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1 inch cold rolled steel, turned down to 3/4" on the ends.

Tag for more information. I'm curious what can be extracted from the J1939 data, since it is very standardized.

The length of tubing is only restricted by the backpressure it creates on the engine. The factory Lister engine service manual likely lists the allowed backpressure. (You need to include the muffler too) Cheap digital manometers are available on Amazon. Like others have said, the bigger the...

That's even cooler than it first looked. Very clever

Where did you get the tank from?

That sounds like there is an actual short circuit. Since it happens immediately, I'm assuming, for now, that your main contactor is not energized, also, because you are indicating load on the meter, the problem is likely downstream of the current transformers (CTs). No matter what, you need...

The Overload fault light is coming on? This could be a false trip or a serious short. 1. Does the engine sound like its being loaded down immediately? It is throwing black smoke beyond the normal puff on startup? 2. Does this unit have the quad fuse mod? Or MOV mod? 3. How well to you...

Thanks! It's quite the workhorse for its size.

I know many of you, especially you FL guys, put your generators into action during emergency situations. This weeknd I got to put mine to use for fun and a good cause. The local school down the street had their annual fundraiser and a member of the PTA asked if I could run power at the event...

Look at the diagram in the upper left box. A simple DC circuit with a 1.5 volt battery and a single load that pulls 1 amp. There is an outflow of 1 amp on the upper wire, 1 amp through the load, and a return flow of 1 amp on the lower wire. Total power draw of the load is 1.5V x 1.0 A = 1.5...

L1 = 2292 watts L2 = 1596 watts Total = 3.9 kW

I vote for using a buck converter. They are dirt cheap at Amazon and save your expensive batteries.

When you try to start it from the master switch, do you hear the K2 relay clicking? It's a small contactor buried out of sight, but it makes a distinctive "thunk" when it engages that is heavier sounding than the normal relays behind the gauge panel. It's likely that the K2 is not operating...

I had the same problem and it was exactly as kloppk described. One IP was rotated too far CW and the pin/lever jumped out of the rack and jammed it. ETA: I found my old post with a gif showing the problem...

The IPs should be fully CCW. Rotating them CW can lead to no-start or no-shut-down conditions. No, the fan does not effect the IR gun, but it does lower the surface temp of the manifold you are measuring.

Pull the top, the muffler, and the air cleaner. Run the engine and crack open the high pressure lines, one at a time, and look for fuel being pumped on every cylinder. I'm guessing you have an IP that is not pumping. Are all of your IPs turned fully CCW until the feed hose contacts the...
