Nice. Which size gates worked best?

Well thanks for posting this, I did the small return lines but not these larger hoses that are direct off the injector. just took a look, they are cracked and :poop: looking ha. Add that to the list for maintenance day darn it.

I was sent the same seal / HQ brand that I found on ebay for $14 shipped. I didn’t order the ebay seal as I didn’t want some random low quality Chinese made stuff...

screen shot of their website.

I’ll be avoiding www.greenmountaingenerators.com from here on out, check out this awesome customer service!! This is copied from my email to GMG regarding the aftermarket (overpriced) seal: “ Hi, I ordered a seal for my 803a that was listed as a Onan part. Unfortunately it is an aftermarket...

Yeah, I’ll call them up tomorrow, it’s both deceiving and a ripoff !

They look decent, but looks can be deceiving did you bid/win the GP auction in Colorado springs?

Well, looks like I may be trying one of the seals that you found to be the same size. I found two seal options one from GMG @ $40 shipped and one from eBay @ $15 shipped, so seeing as greenmountaingenerators.com listed the brand as Onan, I spent the extra money expecting an OE. Onan part. Well...

Nice, now I just have to decide if I want to be the guinie pig and try a new seal lol.

Well, I guess it’s good to know that I am not the only one with a front main seal failure, but sad that I have to do it twice, because you’re not wrong, it is a time consuming process. I’ll try and remember to take some measurements of the new seal and front cover ID before I get too far...

Well she only has 400ish hours so I highly doubt the shaft has a groove from the seal. I bought the replacement seal from GMG and it was said to be an Onan part, but it looked different from the one I removed. Hopefully it’s not play in the crank shaft! That would be lame, but seeing as Guy...

I have an 803a that I picked out in 2017. I had to do a few things to get her up to snuff as it was an G-planet buy. One of the issues that I thought I had taken care of was the front main seal. I recently had a 5 day outage and the old girl was weeping some oil from the same darn seal. SO...

Nice, I like what you have going on with that MEP, I may copy some of them!

Thanks, exactly the previous experience I was hoping to find. Now to search out the needed part.

So does anyone know if there is a updated sending unit for the 803a ?

Exactly why I asked the question. I know the OE sender float design is adjustable. The new sending unit design shown in the video provided would appear to be not adjustable. I am going to remove and attempt to adjust my current sending unit float, if that fails I liked the design on the new part...

I am lazy and for some reason I thought I remembered the 803 had a larger tank. Thanks for your help!

Any idea if the Autometer 3262 is the same float type as in the video? When I search for it it appears that it is the normal float on the end of a rod type of sender. Also would the same gauge work for an 803a or is the tank different? Thanks.

You is a bad donkey, thanks for the ideas! happy 4th!

Thanks guys, I don’t think I will loose sleep over it but it will bother me until I rectify it the problem. So you are thinking I have a loose ground at the gauge or elsewhere? Any problem areas to check? Its been a while since I read the TM, I could start there.
