This may already be common knowledge but I think Phaostron may be the original manufacturer of the V, Hz, and percent rated current gauges in these machines. Can anyone confirm? http://phaostron.com/meters.html

I've been checking out WAGO connectors and have been wondering if any of you have an opinion good or bad, or if anyone has used them with a good or bad result. They've been out for quite a while but I've just stuck with wire nuts. There's plenty of stuff in forums and on youtube, both good and...

Has anybody ever used a soft start on a 3/4 hp single phase 240v well pump? I have recently installed a 48v /4400w Magnum inverter backed up by 600ah of LiFePo4 batteries. The system works great powering critical loads in my house. Next step is solar panels. The issue I am trying to solve...

I'm considering installing a Magnum Energy Magna-Sine inverter in my house to energize a critical loads panel. When utility power is out here I don't run the generator overnight. During the day, for most of the time, the 802 is very lightly loaded so the charger draw will load down the gen a...

A while back Guyfang provided me with a list of spare parts for an 802a that would be good to have on hand. One item was listed as "diodes for the main gen". I can't seem to find them in the -24P, at least to the point that I'm sure of what he is referencing. Guyfang, could you please be more...

So as I continue to stock up on spare parts for my 2 802a generators, I've gotten to the MPU on my target list. Realistically, how common is it for these to fail? Thanks all

For those of you that use or have used stall mats to reduce vibration, what thickness did you buy? I am able to source either 1/2 or 3/4 inch. Thanks, -Craig

When changing the water pump on an 802 or 803, what do you look for to determine whether or not you need to change the backing plate? Thanks, -Craig

I found a source for replacement transparent green panel lights. They are very nearly identical. The new ones are slightly lighter than one of the existing bulbs from a 2009 build 802a. In the pic below the old bulb is on the left and the new one is on the right. CEC is the manufacturer and...

Does anyone have a source for the green panel light bulbs? They are part# 6s6-30v. I can find plenty of the clear ones but the greens have so far been hard to find. There is a vendor called National Fuse that has them on their website but when I ordered them they shipped clear bulbs. Thanks...

On my 802a the exhaust pipe is not even close to being centered in the hole through the enclosure. It's so close to the edge of the hole that when under load the engine vibrates enough to nearly hit the side of the hole. Is there a way to better align the enclosure to the engine or vice versa...

Question for those of you who worked with and on the 802/803 sets when they were current issue. (looking in your direction Guyfang) How reliable were these sets for the troops in the field? What types of issues took them out of service? Were there any weak spots or common problems? Were...

What types of military units would have been issued these generators? Were they powering radar / como / missile batteries or were they in the rear used primarily at forward bases / advance deployment scenarios? I was in an artillery unit and we had 1 portable 3kw unit that we never used except...

I picked up a super clean 802a today from a member here. The batteries have never been used as the cable ends were taped over and one of the positive posts still had the red plastic cap that you have to break to get off. The 2 yellow top 51r's are showing 1.6V each. The set was built in...
