Thanks for the replies. I will get better at giving history and hours ect. I am newly addicted to these gens. I bid on two thinking I might get one but got them both. lol. So I have an 802A this one. it has 2165 hours and thats about all I know. I did give it an oil change when I got it a couple...
I load tested my 802 a bit. I put 15 amps on each phase with it set to 120/240 volt single phase. It held with no problem but as it got hot it seemed to increase. crank case pressure a bit. It wasn't like some of these I've seen where it looks like and oily exhaust pipe but when I took out the...
BTW thanks for the direction. I found the part in the TM and sourced one on ebay.
Awesome thank you. I took your advice and used the TM. Those things are awesome!!! I found the part number and ordered one off ebay. It's 1/4npt btw. Thanks again for the info.
I did mean to post those pics of non relevant parts of the machine in case someone might notice something I should know about but I sure wasn't meaning to post 5 of each
Lol. I hadn't noticed what happened with the pictures until I read your reply. Oops. That's good to know thank you. I didn't realize that was just a drain. I knew that one hose was supposed to attach there and was curious about it's function. Do you know what thread that is? 1/4 npt perhaps...
I will work on this more as I get time. It is interesting. The problem is definitely in the float switch I'm not getting false readings beyond the switch. Every time it says no fuel I unplug the switch and check the contacts in the first spot it plugs in with my meter and sure enough it's...
Hello I have an 802A I recently acquired and it seems to run decent but there is a lot of fuel I guess all over the engine compartment. ( please bear with me on this since I don't have a sense of smell fuel and oil ect are all very similar to me when there is just a fine coating) I haven't seen...
Hello. I hope I'm doing this correctly. Is this a new thread labeled mep 803a?
I just got home with one of these. Can someone tell me the name and size of the nipple that the water line ties to behind the alternator? I'll post some picks. The nipple is broke off and someone had stuck an ear...
Hello. Thanks again for being here and so willing to help people. Can you please help me figure out how to make a new thread? I would like to make one for each of my gens. I'm looking around on here and not seeing the make my own thread tab.
Copy that. I was traveling the last couple days actually picking up my now third gen. Lol. Now I just have to figure out how to make new threads. Thank you
Thanks for the advise about a new thread.
I don't know about these trailer part numbers yet but yes it is a drop down leg but it is adjustable I bought an 804 and an 802 and they both have the same leg once I got it apart a bunch of broken pieces fell out. I'll use my phone in a minute and...
About these no fuel floats. Does anyone know where we can get just the float for these switches? I think the float has lost Buoyancy. Heck I would replace the switch but everyone is out of stock and I'm pretty sure its the float anyway. If I find a place to get them I will share it.
Of course! After posting pics like that I'm almost afraid to admit that electrical is my trade. I wasn't doing that work for money but for fun though. I considered using space heaters or heat guns but I wanted to give it a nice even three phase load. I ordered a 15kv heat kit for a furnace that...
Lol. I have been curious what people were going to say about my load bank. One thing nice it's a purely resistive load and very consistent. The dry sand actually worked pretty well to dissipate the heat.
