You're craigslist post doesn't tell us a lot. Be nice to see pictures of the inside and the tags, to see if it's been reset. $5,000 is high in my opinion. I just sold 2 803a's (one on a trailer and both with 1,000 hours) to a gentlemen in Florida for $6,200. He was from the Orlando area and...
That's right. During an emergency, every generator is bought up within 100 square miles, then about a month later everyone is selling them to re-coop their cash, you'll especially see a lot at the pawn shops.
It will run longer but I shut my unit down at the 10hour mark and it didn't have enough juice to restart. I'm sure it will go another 4-6 hours or more because the only thing the DC system is running is the fuel cutoff solenoid and fuel pump.
Right now may not be the best time. Auction prices are crazy! I have people calling everyday to see if I have any for sale and I've got 2 to work on that people have already put down payments on. Just know that its a crap shoot because most of the time you don't know the working condition and...
Do a google search for M50 injection pump manual. You may get lucky and be able to swap the timing buttons around and get your new pump to work. If you're wondering what the button is please look at the first attachment which is a parts diagram. Timing the put is a pain but is critical. It's not...
That's normal. After they are fully charged, you will see it drop to 0. Just use a cheap volt meter to make sure its generating 26+ volts when its running. If the batteries are charged and the alternator goes out, it will run for 10+ hours. Had this happen in an emergency and she keep going for...
Have not seen just the ASK surrounding in many years. Extremely rare and are also rare to find units that have them. Most were stripped before being sold. I've bought and sold several hundred 002a-003a's and have only had 4 003a's that had the ASK and 6 002a's with the ASK. Just build a doghouse...
Yes just a little carbon burning off. 65% really isn't much, when you get close to 100% load which is around 12kw you'll see a lot more smoke until it gets burned off. It's really fun when they are really loaded with carbon and you run them at night. Burning ambers of carbon are shot into the air.
Normally you would just use 2 of the hot legs and leave 1 hot leg disconnected. LO is neutral. Most electronics will run fine at 208 but you should be able to adjust the voltage up if you have a military set. Just know that this is not a safe way to do this for a 3phase generator head because...
Sorry to disagree but if the line breaks or taken off at a lower point than the aux source it will siphon out (It has to already have fuel in the line of course). I had this happen one time when I was using a 55gallon drum and took off the aux fuel line at the gen set to move it. When I returned...
It should take the dryer fine with lights, tv, etc. on at the same time. On my 802a, the dryer takes it to 100% load so you should be able to run the dryer without a problem. You may have to look at adjusting the governor a little so it will hold the load. Now for the overload trip on the water...
Now with the 002a the hertz meter is notorious for failing due to the transducer. The voltage gauge and hertz gauge are the only 2 that will work with the initial start up. The percent load gauge will not move until a load is applied. You have to make sure the reconnection switch is pointed to...
