Is your switch missing, or are you having troubles with a machine sending power to the lugs?

I've never experienced a bad switch in that location, in these machines. Not to say its not possible, but your time and money is better served by taking the roof off an deoxidizing/cleaning/disassembling the K1 AC Circuit Interrupter. That is where your problem is most likely to lie.

Like LID, I have never seen this switch go bad. Its about bomb proof. Take your time removing the CB, and take it apart. Its not rocket Science. Simple, really. Clean it up, blow it out. Reassemble it. DO, REPEAT DO, remove the Neg. Battery terminal on the left side. Control panel is always the back side, so when you stand behind, even I can find left.

The first 802a I ever owned had an intermittent AC interruptor switch. Metered OK when unit was not running, but would fail once it got started (vibrating). That's a weird switch... I always think of it as two switches in one housing. What gave it away was that the indicator light would go on and then shut off. Turned the switch back on and in a few seconds light would go off again. New switch, worked well and that gen is sitting on dolly at the barn.
