I haven't been looking for a while, but the "usual" mil surplus generator sales site seems to have gone quiet? No gens, no parts. Perhaps I have been living under a rock, but the mil stuff seems to have disappeared. zarathustra

Ok all you gen techs out there. Ever have trouble with a current sensor? If so, what were the symptoms of a bad current sensor? I can't imagine what could go wrong with one of them, but I'd just like to know how a bad current sensor manifests itself. It has no moving parts, and is 100%...

It's the 2 cylinder engine. Quick start, dies immediately, then very hard start.... So I took off the crankcase door off and cleaned out a clogged oil pressure relief valve. In the process of cleaning off the old gasket from the crankcase I removed two remaining studs. They came out easily...

If I let it run a while it leaks oil on to the fuel solenoid side. It is tough to see where it might be coming from. I'm thinking that the crankcase door gasket might be bad... but that's more guess than anything else. Two questions: Has anyone run into this problem, and what was their fix...

There are voltage regulators which have an adjustment pot in the front about in the lower center. Does anyone have any information as to what that adjustment is and what it does, and how to set it?? Not all regulators have this pot... I'm thinking that the newer (whatever newer means here)...

I was looking for an Airtex E1074 fuel pump for my 802a to replace the Facet 40193. Apparently they are made of un-obtanium. Can't seem to find anything on the E1074 pump -- Airtex help line wasn't too helpful on the E1074. So...... They (Airtex) suggested the E8135 pump. They "said" that...

Does anyone have a trick for removing the fan from the engine? It sounds like it should be easy, but cutting the bolt off is looking more and more like the only solution... thanks

I think it was working OK, but it sat for a couple of weeks with the brake on and now one side seems to drag. I towed it around the field a couple of times and the "dragging" side drum was measurably warmer than the non-dragging side. The cable seems to droop when the brake is released. So...

I wasn't the high bidder on any of these, but somebody was.... So..... If someone bought an 802a with the remote starting feature it would be interesting to see how they were configured for the remote start. I know there was a cable involved, but beyond that I can only guess how that worked...

I am looking for the part number for the airtex main fuel pump for the 802/803 generators. The manual only shows the Facet part number (40193 - main, 40194-auxillary); a search of the archives here comes up with E1074, but E1074 seems to be a mechanical pump. So..... If anyone has an Airtex...

If anyone is looking for these 2,3,4 pin connectors, they are MOLEX connectors. They are available from sellers on ebay. If you need a pin removal tool to remove the pins in those MOLEX connectors one can use some 3/16 inch brake line. You'll need to grind the outside down a little to fit...

Here is a rig that I made yesterday to get 24 vdc to test generator components, lights, relays, solenoids, etc. This could be used on trucks or anything with a 24vdc NATO socket. I had a NATO plug / cable laying around gathering dust, so I thought I'd use it. Materials are the jack side of a...

There have been a few questions on how to solve this problem. I got into it today a little more, and here are some tips. First, the NO FUEL light circuits are not electrically connected or in common with the fuel gauge. They even have separate sending units.. NO FUEL as well as AUX FUEL...

Here is a picture of an installed fuel solenoid. Looks normal, but the rubber boot is different - it aint gray! When I got this unit the gray boot was in shreds. Looked around the shop and found an old master cylinder boot that never had been used. Had to trim the narrow end back just a...

I had to replace that metal insert that goes into the fuel tank. It was rusty and I had a spare to substitute. Those 5/16 inch screws are awfully hard to remove and even harder to re-install. So, here are a few tricks to make installation easier.... loosen the two hose clamps first - make...

In our household income tax season is a time for gnashing of teeth. However, whilst working on the 2014 tax return(?) I noticed the hanging folder and saw something that wasn't there, but could be created. It is that stiff piece of metal that interfaces between the fuel solenoid and the fuel...

There's a 4 (or 5) groove pulley on the DC alternator on this. Anyone know of a part number for the pulley, or know a source for them? I've checked the part manual and there is a picture that has the pulley in it, but it is not referenced with any sort of number. z

After one blood blister, two gouged knuckles, a lot of swearing, more swearing, and one broken fuel injector I've decided there has got to be a tool to remove these pests. Depending on how one would do this it could be a 12mm, 16 mm, or 9/16 size, but none of those sizes work very well. I...

Well, I got several facet fuel pumps 'cause I knew I'd need some, and I ended up with four of 'em -- all NOS. Well, THREE of the four failed straight out of the box, and the fourth works fine! I took one of the failed ones apart and nothing looked obvious. Anyone have a fix for a new failed...

Anyone have their phone number?? It isn't on their web site and it isn't offered anywheres else. a search of the Yellow Pages comes up null. thanks z
