The second "exhaust stack" is for the "artic heater kit" which is an option on 802a and 803a. Basically it prewarm the engine coolant to 140°F before startup. Nice to have in colder climate 😀
Another thing I noticed is that before today's fix , in order to get the hz to spec I had to backup one of the governor screw so that I could turn the RPM knob. - pic 1, - after adjusting the IP, the freeplay between governor lever stop and screw is equivalent to the amount I had unscrewed...
Now working,
Went back to TM and shop manual.
- No blockage on air Intake side
- reviewed IP install step.
- marked current position of IP , loosened retaining nut and rotated all 4 IP ~ 1/32" clockwise ( see pic for before and after)
- torqued everything back to specs
Powered up the set...

Took all 4 IP out , soaked, cleaned reassembled. All four were "seized in varnish" for having not run for 7 years or so , I'm not equipped to pressure test, but metering level and plunger were moving freely when I reinstalled them
Recently got the 803 running.
Put approx 18hrs run time in the last week performing various load test. Have access to various 5A, 10A , 20 and 23A 240v load. I was able to bring the load to 60A - 115% - Once and set ran fine. Problem is I can't do it consistently. If I try to step up the...
