Yes sir. Right now I'm still trying to figure out what all I need. Do you have recommendations based on what you see? Should l just replace the water pump too? Or maybe just buy a full gasket kit? I haven't been able to find just the water pump gaskets yet.
Update. After some reading and troubleshooting I'm pretty sure the water temp guage needs replaced. I'm still not sure the thermostat is opening or that the water pump is circulating water though. I did establish that the temp sender is sending. Maybe I never got it got enough to open and I...
So I know you've all been dying to know if the new 803A was going to run. I know I was. So the suspense was killing me and I had to know. I put a plug into the open hole where the petcock will go topped off the oil and filled the radiator. She started and ran and produced electricity. What a...
I did get this torn down. The pins were bent and the part the leg rides down on was pretty broken. It is cast metal so welding it isn't on the table. I straightened the pins and got it reassembled and working it just won't take a lot of weight . It's pretty easy to work on just roll pins. It's...
It's the M116A3 trailer. It's a drop down leg that's adjustable with a crank. I bought a harbor freight one that clamps onto the frame but I would really like to get it back to original but oh well. Thank you for taking time to help though.
I am really happy there are such awesome resources available both written and such a helpful community of knowledgeable people that are willing to help. I knew there were many reasons I wanted military gens both because they buy the best but also great documentation.
Well I look forward to any replies I get but I found it. Wrong book. It will be great once I know which book to look into depending on what I'm looking to find.
I have been looking through some of these TMs and they are awesome but I am struggling to find a good list of what is wired to where in this plug. I ran across one post where Guyfang told someone to test from pin.. to gnd and check the reading. I am not looking to solve a particular problem...
Thanks for the replies. I will get better at giving history and hours ect. I am newly addicted to these gens. I bid on two thinking I might get one but got them both. lol. So I have an 802A this one. it has 2165 hours and thats about all I know. I did give it an oil change when I got it a couple...
I load tested my 802 a bit. I put 15 amps on each phase with it set to 120/240 volt single phase. It held with no problem but as it got hot it seemed to increase. crank case pressure a bit. It wasn't like some of these I've seen where it looks like and oily exhaust pipe but when I took out the...
BTW thanks for the direction. I found the part in the TM and sourced one on ebay.
Awesome thank you. I took your advice and used the TM. Those things are awesome!!! I found the part number and ordered one off ebay. It's 1/4npt btw. Thanks again for the info.
I did mean to post those pics of non relevant parts of the machine in case someone might notice something I should know about but I sure wasn't meaning to post 5 of each
Lol. I hadn't noticed what happened with the pictures until I read your reply. Oops. That's good to know thank you. I didn't realize that was just a drain. I knew that one hose was supposed to attach there and was curious about it's function. Do you know what thread that is? 1/4 npt perhaps...
I will work on this more as I get time. It is interesting. The problem is definitely in the float switch I'm not getting false readings beyond the switch. Every time it says no fuel I unplug the switch and check the contacts in the first spot it plugs in with my meter and sure enough it's...
