Kudo's! I like the thumbs up at the end. :-D

Agreed. A couple of 12v batteries in series would do the trick. Generally 24 volt inverters will work with a 28 volt input. They usually are happy with ~20-32 volts depending on the make/model. Be sure to check the inverters spec sheet to be sure!

Guyfang, Could you work up that list of common 802/803 failures? I've got a 1997 802 with 1,400 hrs on it. Myself and probably many others would like to know so we can know what to expect and what parts we may want to keep on hand. Thx!

Yes - the burden resistors are used in the current measuring circuit as well as the AM/VM switch. Sometimes just exercising the AM/VM switch will correct the problem. Any corrosion on it's internal contacts will result is poor connection which will result in the incorrect amount of current load...

The 802 uses P/N 88-21132 Cage Code 60177 The 803 uses the same current transformer as the 802 It's listed on in the TM on PDF page 51 item 36 I believe it's made by Technology Research. Their P/N is 19460

TM-9-6115-642-24 PDF page 277 indicates that each wire passed thru the CT's 4 time. There should be two wires looping 4 times thru each CT opening.

I believe Korgoth1's MEP-803A only has 2 pumps, the primary fuel transfer pump and the Aux fill pump.

Hopefully it'll work for you now. Keep us posted on how you make out. The master switch and the AM/VM switch's are notorious for having the plastic shafts break on them. My 802 came with a broken master switch. Replaced it with a steel shaft version.

Sounds like you AM/VM switch is spotty. The burden resistors and current transformers have no effect on the voltmeters operation. Part of the AM/VM switch switch's the burden resistors and %Load meter. A separate part of the switch controls the Voltmeter.

R10-R12 are the "burden" resistors for the current transformers 3 outputs. The resistance of the burden resistors across the current transformers has to be accurate. If the resistance is not correct the generator will think the load on it is higher or lower than the actual load on it.

I noticed on my 802 that the %Load meter was reading oddly high for a given load. Turns out the contacts in the load reconnection switch that had to do with connecting the "burden" resistors to the current transformers weren't making good contact. Due to the added resistance from the poor...

The coolant leak may by from the rubber cap on the unused nipple on the water pump. My 1997 802 leaked there when I first got it. Found the rubber cap had dried out and cracked. Easy fix. See TM 9-2815-252-24P Figure 3 (Cooling System) item 11

According to TM 9-6115-671-14 page 2-13 the CMOS voltage light indicates.... CMOS voltage. If indicator is lit, indicates voltage necessary for CMOS device operation is too low. If not lit, CMOS device voltage source is sufficient. Lots of good information in the table regarding the diagnostic...

How about getting a used propane "furnace" from a trailer or camper? They pull air in from the outside, use it for combustion and then vent the combustion outside again. I put one on my car trailer/camper. Works great. It does require 12 v power to run the igniter and the blower. Only required...

Best I could get for you with my phone... http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c205/kloppk/MEP-802a/20150914_125733_zpsveliufar.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c205/kloppk/MEP-802a/20150914_125619_zpswiciyown.jpg

Pins U, P & R on the diagnostic port could be wired up to provide for Remote Start. U to P & R for Start U to R for Run At the moment I don't see a means to close the contactor thru the diag port...

Electrically it looks like it should work according to the switch contact tables in the two TM's. Just need to use the correct terminals on the switch from the -002.

Last one I bought was from ebay. PN 75902LV I don't see any listed there now though. See http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/t-80554.html

Some battery chargers have their Negative output connect to the AC line cord ground pin. IF the battery chargers have a 3 prong plug AND it's outputs are isolated from the line cord ground pin then there is not need to disconnect the cable(s) from the batteries. If the chargers Negative...
