    803a sustained load in high heat.

    3 open frame portable & 2 internal Cummins/onan 4 & 5.5kw. All gasoline powered & 3600 rpm’s. My honest guess is that the carbon brushes failed. Engines would run but not produce any power. I personally had to have my internal Cummins/onan 5.5kw gas generator’s brushes replaced after 1,300...

    Mep 803a quick questions.

    Got couple of quick questions. I recently purchased a 09 Fremont 803a (750hrs). With new batteries installed, it started quickly and ran very good. 1. Should this gen be allowed to idle for warmup and shut down, or just stay at 1800rpms? 2. I verified that fuse mod has been installed, should...
