So now that I’m home I had a chance to test the battery drain. Looks like I don’t have a drain so I’m guessing the batteries just drained over time not running the generator. one more question. I have a small oil leak from the side of the engine with the oil fill. I think it’s coming from the...

Thanks. Is there a general amount that everyone uses per gallon?

My situation and setup are as follows: I live in Alaska, offgrid. I have solar and a battery bank. The generator will be used about 1hr everyday in the winter to charge our battery bank. Our inverter draws approximately 4kW at 30amps but the generator only shows about 2.5kW on the gauge. In the...

Yea I’ve seen the data plate I’m just wondering what everyone’s experiences was with heating oil. For those that have used heating oil, what additives do you use and what’s the thought or science behind its usage?

I’ll give these a test when I’m home. I’m the meantime how does the 803 run on heating oil?

Yes I’m trying to see if I have a slow drain. Sorry for the confusion. Google led me astray.

when I bought the generators they didn’t have any batteries in them. I bought new ones and they have been sitting in there for maybe less than 8 months. Everything was all good and dandy until I moved the genset. I hooked the system up fully and it starts but now I’m worried I have a short some...

So I have a fairly new to me 803. It ran fine a month or 2 ago. Today I went out to load test it and nothing. No pumps or lights kicking on. I took my multimeter to my batteries and one was at like 4v the other was at -2v. The -2v battery reversed polarity. I went out and bought a new battery...

I don't think that it came loose on its own. I think the person before me disconnected it and left it that way. We bought a trailer setup with 2 803's on it. One worked fine the other he said he could only get it running if he sprayed ether into it and then it would die out. I talked him down to...

She runs like a champion!

Found our culprit. Started at battery and worked our way forward.

Here is what we have. Connected one lead to A1and one lead to every post on K2. No voltage on any of them. Connected each post on K2 and A1 to a know good ground and no voltage.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll check tonight after work and share my findings.

Back story. We have 2 803’s. One runs cherry the other has no crank. We’ve been digging through the TM and running through the engine fails to crank troubleshoot. We have no power to the control panel. No lights or primer pumps running. What we have done so far: ENGINE FAILS TO CRANK. Step 1...

Last summer, 2019, we were cruising around in the M35A2 when stopped at a light it died. It’s never done it before so started it back up and the light turned green and then drove off. No issues after that until we stopped in a parking lot and turned it off. We ate and went to start it up and...
