    803A Troubleshooting

    Hey all, I'm the new owner of an 803A, and having some issues that I can't seem to solve-- or I'm too cold and defeated to think straight. 1600 hours on the clock, has fuse mod. It took me two days to get the engine running. New fluids, filters, ect. Pulled the injector pumps, cleaned...
