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 load by more than 10A at the time the set bog down to very low idle , If i flip the breaker off quickly it goes back to speed immediately. Always take load fine from 0 to 20A load , will bog down if I load to quickly after that ( regardless if I'm at 25,35,45A...) . Never tripped the overload fault.
In the last 4 days I read every post I could find and tested every suggestions. Ran set at every load above 50% for an hour or 2. At least 4 hrs between 80% and 100% load. No obstruction to air intake. Changed again both fuel filters. Sea foam in filter when I changed. And sea foam added to tank. Hertz variation between 0 load and 115% load is less than 2.3 hertz . Less that 1.5°F between any cylinder at any load
No signs of wet stacking. Temp steady at 190° at any load. Oil pressure steady at 35-40 psi. When set bog down on load no black/white smoke out of exhaust. Re-read TM. It's really feel like the governor is not responding quickly enough when load is added ( I saw you tube video where they go from 0 to 133% load by flicking K1 and set doesn't bog down) droop ? Voltage regulator? Thanks

. I did not touch the droop adjustment myself but I can tell that the plug had been removed a few time ( paint gone and took mark) . Was very careful to follow the iP reinstall and adjustment procedure ( as per attached) . I didn't touch at any point the stop lever adjustment , but did take a turn of the rpm adjustment screw I order to be able to adjust knob to 60 hz when under full load. Will take a few pictures and post back. Guyfang, this is the set that was hydro locked because of amount of oil they used to fog the cylinder, and from marking may have been used for a tech to qualified on. So the droop may have been messed with. Or is it possible that when I set the IP counter clockwise I overdid it by a 1/8 of a turn . ( IP lever not allowed to rotate full open?)
