Seafoam is great for cleaning the combustion system... but its not a stabilizer. You will definitely want to use a quality diesel stabilizer and an anti-algae (and anti-gel in the winter months). Many recommendations have been made, if you do some searching here. I am a fan of PRI-D and the...
Ok, so I misspoke (or was not clear). So the overload light was still coming on. I did not take the additional step of running with the battle short on (I really shouldnt have been out there messing with the set to begin with, so I wasn't going to push my luck). I will though, and will check the...
Oh yeah, great combo. By the time I came back from the doctors office around noon, my wife had prepared a bone broth for me. She's a keeper.
My next guess as to what the problem might be here, are the burden resistors. Thoughts?
So, the new K8 did not fix the problem. It is still going into overload condition. AND.. I have pneumonia. Fun all around.
Getting 12-18" of snow tonight, so I have it out back, knowing it will run our place just fine until I can get back to it (we have very little draw requirement).

Who told you not to run it at 120? Was it possible this person didn't know the set was adjustable output, so they said this thinking you were going to be running an unbalanced...
Well using a step down doesnt make any sense here, as you can absolutely configure an 002A to output 120V single. Do you have the manuals for this set?
20c sounds like a wonderful temp for a ride! I used to head west every winter for a round of trade shows, in the process, trading New England February for mid 60s Southern California. The locals would be scurrying around in coats... I'm just looking for a nice outdoor cafe to grab a bite at to...
I believe that would be "Open -10 manual" ;). I just dropped the project and came in for lunch and to post the question, experiencing ultimate frustration. You finally shake your sickness?
I must have hit the emergency stop when reassembling the control box hinge... **** do I feel dumb. I owe kloppk a six pack, I think. I was so frustrated (I've had this laryngitis for like 3 weeks now) that it had taken that long to do the swap over (though I was very certain to make sure to...
Ok, so before I go burn my garage down with everything in it....
So I swapped the K8. All of the wires appeared to be put in place correctly (and I believe I did my due diligence in putting them all back in position)...
So now I have NO power at the set at all. The dead crank works... but when...
That address now correlates to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, who surely bought up Brunswick (there is crazy consolidation going on over the last 10 years in the defense contractor world).
I am in the same boat, HH. I am getting out of the resale side. The numbers don't work anymore. I have a few sets still to go (have a SS member coming out tomorrow to grab a 5k actually). I do have plans to help out those that will continue to do this, as well as fresh owners in need of select...
Just grabbed one off that auction place. I hope to swap it out this week, and have it readily fix the problem. Been innundated with calls for gensets in the last 48 hours. Happens after every major storm.
So this set has about 1400 hours since Tier Reset... so I guess its possible its had a wiring fault this whole time, but I would think that maybe thats not as likely?
It does seem perplexing that its still dumping the load with the battle short on, which is why I post here. I will look at the...
So I was testing an 803 this morning for an overload condition. I can flip the battle short on, and the light will illuminate after a few minutes... well then a few minutes later with the set still chugging and the light still on, it stopped making power. I was able to flip off the battle, rest...
