Ok, today I was able to run the test procedure for K8 from the -24 TM on page 2-58 and 2-59. All testing is conducted with the voltage reconnection switch in the 120/208 3P position. There are essentially 6 tests to run in this procedure. The first 3 test operation/function of the OVERLOAD...

I need to perform this check on my 803a. It either shows full or empty... no rhyme or reason.

Wow, that's more than the goobermint paid for my whole generator... new!

Yes, my 802a would nearly kill itself trying to stay online with a huge load. I had the resistance heat (emergency heat) try to come online once while the 802 was happily running the rest of the house.

K8! Thanks Guyfang

I was able to run another load test today. After start and warm up I progressively applied a 60% load. It ran fine for 12-15 min and then tripped the overload again. I reset everything and applied 50% load and it ran fine for the remaining 1:40. During the last 30-40 min I added a large burner...

Are the sectioned rods "retrievable" for deployment in different locations?

It's amazing that you found the broken schrader valve and cap! Gotta love working CTIS to air back up. How far did you drive on the flat tire?

I do have an 8' ground rod near my load test area. I also have the neutral and ground bonded at the genset as is required for a stand alone system.

I had some time last weekend to tighten load lug connections on rear of the load center. I was finally able to run it tonight for 1.5 hours at just under 50% load. Some may enjoy a short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XtO4TD2i10

Yep, the convenience outlet on the front is only a 10 amp circuit. Your circular saw probably won't cut much before tripping that breaker.

Nice clean install sir! I like it.

I believe air is supplied to the valve behind the kick panel and sent on to the fan clutch. There are two air lines coming to that solinoid. I believe the larger line is the supply. When it dumps, pressure is released from this solenoid valve behind the panel.

There's an electric solinoid behind the passenger kick panel that dumps pressure based on input from the temp switch.

I ran a load test again Wed. It tripped the overload on anything over 50% (took 10-15 min), so something has improved. I was able to run 50% or less for over an hour before I had to shut down. I plan to dig deeper on cleaning and tightening connections. The load board is my next target. The lugs...

It's a stock backup light. Mine had one.

I did a bunch of disconnect/clean/reconnect on the K1 and TB3 yesterday. I also used a can of Deoxit D5 on both rotating switches while working them back and forth. Deoxit doesn't flash off as quickly as E/C cleaner, so I've let it sit overnight to "dry out" a bit. I plan to hook up a load and...

The switches feel smooth with positive engagement. I've sprayed them both with electrical contact cleaner. This flashes off pretty quickly and dries things out. I plan to pick up some "Deoxit" today which also has some some lubricating qualities. I do have the quad circuit fuse added. See...

I will to unhook everything and take a look at connections on the K8. I did have a mouse nest under the transformer (since cleaned out), so I will check out the K8 to be sure there is no corrosion. I will also count wraps of wire. The -24 TM states 4 wraps. Mine appeared to have more wraps that...

Ok I'm running the gen with S7 (battle short) flipped up. After 10-15 min the overload light still came on. Guyfang, I know this tells me something significant about where to look for the problem based on your previous messages. Please elaborate based on my conditions if you don't mind helping...
