Some have followed my saga with my 803a in the Bahamas. I ran a fuel line from my external 30 gallon barrel tank directly to the internal fuel pump in the 803a bypassing the internal tank. It seems to have some trouble lifting the fuel consistently. I believe the way the actual aux. fuel line...

I appears that I post about every 6 months or so, after I have been to my place in the islands and had to fight with the generator. This time is no different. Finally got back to the islands over the past weekend. Ran the generator for a bit without a load and put in some radiator flush. After...

While sitting around waiting to be able to get back into my house in the Bahamas I’ve managed to frustrate myself thinking about voltage and amp calculations. I have an 803a which peaks out at 53 amps. If I am correct, this is measured at line 1 or line 3 but they amperage is not combined...

A while back I was on after getting an 803a brought over to the Bahamas. Here we are almost 10 months later and power is mostly restored. On July 1 though BPL decided to swap out the larger power generator on the mainland so we have had intermittant power on the out island. This afternoon we...

I finally got everything running on the 803a so I figured I would hook it up to the house to see what it would do. After wiring everything up, I started slowly flipping breakers on to put a load on the generator. Eventually I had all of the breakers on to include the Air conditioner which has...

Started a new thread for a new issue as suggested. Got my new to me generator running. Does not have the fuse modification or the MOV mod. At first go around, I was on 240v three phase and was showing solid 240v with 60 hz. I rotated the switch to get 240v single phase and showed the same...

I just purchased an 803A that shows about 9200 hours on the meter. It's a 2003 so I can't fathom that it has not been rebuilt during that time. Having said that, I am taking this generator as well as possibly a second generator over to the Bahamas to install as a semi permanent generator at a...
