Are there any markings on the existing diodes?

Does the contactor closed light stay on if you hold the interrupter switch in the close position? If yes then flip the battle short switch to on and try to close the contactor by momentarily flipping the contactor close switch and see if the light stays on. If it does it indicates the K8...

The solar battery bank is a set of 8 deep cycle 12 volt FLA 90 AH batteries connected in series and parallel to create a 48 volt 180 AH battery bank. It's four pairs of 12 volt batteries connected in parallel and then the 4 sets tied in series. Planning to replace the battery bank this summer...

I assume you cranked it with the injectors out? If so my first hunch would be that the water that got in caused rust to form on the cylinder walls above where the pistons were sitting. When you rotate the crank and the piston hits the rusted section of the cylinder wall causing it come to a...

Mike, Got your PM. Will send you what I have for info as well as the Auduino code for both controllers. The code is still in beta testing so it is not 100%. Been too cold to work on some of the details. Also there are tid bits in the code for debugging and some time delays shortened. It was...

BobbyT - Nice Jeep! I'm also into off roading. 1992 YJ 4 linked, tons, 43" stickies, cage, winch's,... I have no plans to sell a "kit". However I'd be happy to share any and all information I have about each of the controllers, how to build them, program them, firmware files and how to...

Another thread here inspired me to design and build a remote start and generator parameter reporting system for my 802 to use in conjunction with my PV battery bank solar charging system and thought this may be of interest to other Mep owners. I've designed, built and coded the 802 Autostart...

I've been working on that very feature since early December. Wireless genset start/stop with remote parameter monitoring. Prototype is working. Will be posting up once I tweek the firmware, shoot some pics and a video.

The Freq pot should be 5,000 ohms

As I recall there are 2 small drains at the base of the radiator exhaust. The two drains can easily get clogged with debris as they are quite small. Mine were clogged with sand and debris when I picked it up. Snow and ice would certainly be an issue for the drains though. I too have mine on...

I think these were AMMPS units. These were listed in MD in the auction that closed Monday. Most in rough shape http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=10459817 Reserve not met @ $1,340 http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=10459778 Sold for $546...

For steel barrels you may want to check out recycling companies near you. I found a place near me in Massachusetts that was selling 55 gallon drums with bungs for $10. They were essentially brand new, clean original paint, no scratch's. Were only used once for shipping various cooking oils. I...

If the ammeter is hanging in the red it means the alternator is not putting out any current. (Battery is draining while the genset is running) I'd suggest you first check Fuse #1 (FU1). It's the one for the alternator output. My fuse #1 was bad the first time I brought my 802 back to life...

Instead of ordering the MOV's I'd be happy to mail you a couple of them. I only used 1 of the 10 I purchased. If you'd like a pair of MOV's PM me your mailing address and I'll pop them in the mail to you.

I don't have any specific info on how to do it or if it's possible. I never tore into my regulator to see if it was possible. The idea of replacing the diode bridge with one with a higher PRV rating was suggested by another forum member a while back. The only info I have is the TB indicates...

Fuse Holder is PN: BM6031SQ it's $5-$10 and is available from Mouser, Allied, Newark, Grainger... The Fuse is PN: FNQ-R-3 it's ~$32 and is also available from Mouser, Allied, Newark, Grainger... The MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) I purchased from Amazon. $5.40 for a bag of 10...

Here it is in my 802 The circular blue disc is a MOV that I added to prevent the voltage spikes that can take out the diode bridge in the voltage regulator.

My 802 already had a Solargizer mounted to it when I pick it up from Ft. Meade. A couple of pics of it's mounting. The solar panel is mounted to the top with 4 bolts thru the top (nuts and lock washers on the inside) Small hole near the panel for the wires to pass thru to the interior. (Small...

Yup - see chapter 5.1 in the TB above for the details

The battery meter indicates if the battery is charging (in the green area) or discharging (in the Red area). When the master switch is first set to run/prime you'll notice the needle go slightly into the red because the battery is providing power to the fuel pump(s) and the genset hasn't been...
