If it's a reset the tag will be riveted on right next to the original tag. Also 99% of the resets are Tan. not that it really matters. I've had units with 2 hours and units with 6000 hours and it's often hard to tell one from the other just based on performance! If you have a camo colored...

Have you tried this more than once? On the 804 I believe it should stay running after an overvoltage fault. Maybe you didn't hold it long enough for the oil pressure switch to close. I think first you should ( if you haven't already ) is make sure it will start, stay running and that it trips...

So to elaborate on the bare metal a bit, the correct way to use Windshield Urethane is to strip the glue flange to bare steel, prime it with brush on windshield primer then use your urethane adhesive over that. The Urethane is also not really meant for raw glass either, the glass should be...

I'd suggest turning it by hand, either by the fan blade or a socket on the crank bolt, just to be sure the cylinders aren't rusted stuck, before attempting to crank with the starter and / or dead crank switch.

With the exhaust flap missing, rust in exhaust and milky oil, hopefully you checked to see if the motor turns freely? Missing exhaust flap is often a sure sign of a stuck motor. ( rain goes right down into the cylinders ) Make sure she spins freely 360* before you hit the start switch. But as...

L.I.T.D, I believe most of your Gen business has typically been 803's right? Is your Leaf Blower unit acting much worse than other 802's you've seen or are you comparing it to a typical 803? There is a night and day difference between what happens when you open the oil cap or pull the dipstick...

Jeff, it sounds like you have decent compression. I think in the past I found anything over 250 is fine. Once you get down around 200-225 you start having starting issues, like smoking for 30 seconds to 1 minute until heat builds up a bit. If she starts good and doesn't continue to smoke ( gray...

Evvy, you're too quick... I was typing the same thing only cheap harbor freight chain fall instead of come-along....

If it starts up on its own during a lightening storm, ( especially without a remote start installed ) then I'd lean towards Demonic Possession... otherwise maybe just stuck rings? How's it sound when cranking? does it crank abnormally fast?

Enzyme wallpaper stripper all the way! Much faster than water.... Keeps the room cooler than steam too! ;) From the old days helping friends remodel their first homes back in our younger years! To remove the gen, If you don't have a neighbor with a tractor available, some rental places will...

Jeff, on the 802/803 the crankcase vacuum is created through a small tube in the corner under each valve cover. the tubes connect the intake runners into the rocker area, which then draws from the crankcase through the pushrod tubes and the oil drain passages. Did you check your crankcase...

Sounds like the next step is probably to get pricing on your different options. Given your excellent ability shown thus far, I'm wondering if a commercial 12 wire generator conversion might fit your needs best? It may be cheaper than a rewind and you could set it up for single and / or 3 phase...

Forget trying to convert the 803. Like others have said, it will be much cheaper to simply buy batteries than to convert it. A while ago I posted an article about my son putting a DN2M into a John Deere garden tractor, I also wanted to convert it to 12V but found it would be impractical and...

I've had more than 1 over the years with the wires reversed on the meter! Definitely sounds like you found one as well.

Ok, So looking at things again, your 701 is a little different under the hood than the 016D I did last, but.... the wiring labels in post 13 are correct as far as what they are ( I compared them to the TM ) So the wire on #20 will go to F1 X on the SX460 Wire #21 goes to F2 XX on the SX460 The...

On your random overload / short circuit failure, this seems to be a fairly common fault on the 831. Mine does it occasionally when the humidity is high too. Kklop has determined that the issue is caused by humidity / moisture getting into the unsealed potentiometers used in the inverter. His...

You know I had to go and Google "Gerber Tool" to see what you were talking about :unsure:, I had no idea what it was. As soon as I saw a picture I knew.... Here in the US ( at least New England where I am ) we call it a "Leatherman" , but not one single person I know has ever called it a "Multi...

Agreed, Hopefully head gasket, those are well known for needing the head gaskets changed. Got one here in my yard with leaking gasket, luckily it leaks down the side of the block, not into the oil. I believe the new head gasket is an upgraded design from the original, due to the shortcomings of...

I once tried Parallelling two Hydrollic cilinders into the same circit.... Damn what a speling dizaster I ended up with that day! o_O Gotta do what you can to keep sane these days and a little humor goes along way!

Any chance you could post a pic of the install instructions from your SX460, maybe that will jog my memory and help verify post 13. If I recall, everything was super simple, except maybe determining the polarity of F1 and F2?? I used the cheap SX460 AVR from China, not the original SX460 from...
