I use that stuff on every machine! All it takes is some motor oil (normally used from the oil change within arms reach from working on said machine) on the barb ends and they go together relatively easily. Definitely not as loose as the leaky Continental, but much more readily available.
If you had to run the set with the bad CR1, you could make a small alligator clip jumper cable to go from the RH leg to the LH leg and bypass the diode itself. I neglected to tell you that the testing was with the S1 in prime (and I assumed the DC was set to NORMAL, which was a mistake). Glad...
The bottoms of the fuel pumps are removeable, and there should be a filter screen in place.
If your pumps or separator and filters are clogged, it would have run a short time and died. The three 'cans' on the side of the set are the separator and the (2) fuel filters. If this is an important...
If you can't put a load on it, no reason to even start it. The marginal gain of circulating fuel through the filters can be accomplished just by letting the set prime for the equal amount of time. If you have room for a free electric range (craigslist, FB marketplace, side of the road, etc) they...
Well I've used HQ for parts before, and they are never OEM... they are knockoffs for the items I have purchased. They have been of sufficient quality though.
It doesn't help you right this second, but you should inquire with https://www.sleeman-hawken.com in the UK. They carry true OEM parts...
I want to give Ray my utmost thanks. I've been dealing with some challenging carpal tunnel issues for a few months now, and I asked him if he would be willing to help me with a couple of 802s that I have had sitting (since I am completely unable to work on machines at the present time). He has...
If the gauge is reading true, I would question the integrity of the voltage regulator. But a simple multimeter into the outlet while the gauge is dancing will tell you definitively if its the gauge or something else.
Been quite a few 400hz anchors coming up lately. Maybe indicative of what's left in the surplus pile more than anything that they are starting to move out.
Glad you are happy with it Bruce! Once a month, with a good load for 30 min to an hour (min 50%, as close to capacity as you can manage even better), should be sufficient. There is no right answer, but do keep the fuel in the machine fully picked with antigel, biocide, and your favorite...
Yeah go with filters and clean out the prefilter on the pump if present. Water seperator too. After all thats done, prime the pump and disconnect at the end of the hard fuel line and see if you are getting fuel into the return system.
