I am still learning a ton about these generators. I see you are new to the site. Have you looked at the TM's for these. I know the MEP 802/803 are in the TM section. There will be plenty of experts here to help but help yourself become a little smarter by reading them. They are designed for 18-year-old kids to repair them so dummies like me can follow along. Alternators are out there, but they are not cheap like 12-volt car alternators. If you are looking for parts, put an ad in the parts wanted section first. The prices for used or rebuilt will be much better here than on the outside in most cases. Good luck and I will be following along to educate myself as your problem gets solved.

Correct, there are tons of threads on here about that alternator. Search for and read-up. Then take the PN's for the alternator and search the web.
@Light in the Dark also recently posted the name of a company he has used previously to rebuild these alternators.

 

[Light in the Dark]

Prestolite was sold to a Chinese alternator conglomerate back 2015/2016ish... I would get parts on the shelf for them while you still can, as this model is "specialized" for this platform only at this point. Others may fit, but I don't assume anything these days in terms of forward-looking availability.

I have a 802a that was has a tier2 reset in 2012 with 24 hours rebuild tag on the alternator, but this thing drains batteries over night. After reading here realized its a problem with the alternator draining the battery. pulled the alternator off tonight and i found 2 wires no longer...

Is your Dead Crank Switch in the "Normal" position before you move the master switch to "Prime and Run"?
