Get some deoxit contact cleaner and go through all of the switches and contacts while you are waiting for the mod parts to come in. I have experienced over voltage readings on 803s from corrosion, that disappear after everything is cleaned up.

Check for any loose connections, and simultaneously... hit every switch, nut, bolt, terminal strip, and anything you can with contact cleaner. Lets make sure the set is getting the best information possible to run properly.

Yeah, 803 or bigger is where you will be. Just comes down to if you want to have a machine thats selectable phase, or if you will be able to tap legs for single phase as needed, without unevenly loading certain legs. If you can get away with running a machine at a time, versus multiple machines...

I thought Champion discontinued these?

Yeah get that puppy at the uppermost lip of the filter, and give it hell. You are already ahead of the game with the side panels off. There is nothing easy past brute force to get it to go. Remember to oil the seal on the new one, and install hand tight. One of the worst things on these sets...

Let us know what you hear

Here is where I got my last batch from https://www.allfuses.com/fnq-r-3 https://www.allfuses.com/30311r Seem to work just fine

If anyone has one of their sets apart, I would love some dimensions on the spring itself (Max OD at the top, Min OD at the bottom, Overall Height, etc). Thanks

I think his picture came from the Martin Surplus ad you saw, Jimmy

The first item you are looking for (the plate) is up on the big auction site right now. The other two are not... if you poke through the -24P you will see they are given a PBOZZ coding. Read through the first couple pages of the manual (section EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS (SECTIONS II AND III).) to...

Fuel was stored in lined metal drums, with a double dose of PRI-D, biokleen, and PS Anti Gel. Literal double dose for what both quantities of fuel would take. Just emptied two of the drums in the last week, and they were still fine. I think it was just the extra humid summer we had, doing it to...

Even with that though, most modern appliances have auto switching transformers that will accept down to 50hz.

Not all diesels are like this... some have vacuum, and some have pressure. The 802 and 803 have a slight vacuum to the case (which can be tested by the TM, or simply with a piece of paper informally). My early 90s ford 7.3 IDI has positive crankcase pressure, so it requires a CDR (crankcase...

Shipping a trailered genset will be prohibitively expensive. The prices all comes down to where its coming from, but assume as low as $300 to over a grand, depending on who you use.

Does anyone keep a spare set of plugs in their backup stock of parts? Its one of those things that rarely fail... but is often overlooked.

Tank was less than half. Put a double dose of power service cold weather in it, plus a few ounces of biokleen and PRI-D, into 2.5 gal yesterday to top the tank off (when I discovered this). Will run the tank down, change the fuel filter out, and wipe the tank best I can (not the smallest of arms).

I don't know how, but in buttoning up my 802 yesterday for the incoming storm, I refilled the unit with new fuel... only to see the bottom of the mesh strainer covered in algae goop. I overtreat my fuel (like double all manufacturer dose recommendations), so I am not entirely sure how it grew...

There you go. Unless I find myself in a hellish storm where I just need to get back up ASAP... I can give it 10-15 min to cruise.

There are numerous seals on this engine... you really need to wipe it all down, and run it to track it down real time. I've had a front crank seal go bad, spraying oil all around the cabinet. Gaskets are available separately through both Onan and LP supply chains.

I let the machines get up to operating temp, before I ask anything of them. I don't know if there is an established time.
