While we are speaking of gauges on my 803 temperature gauge I think the gauge needs to display a broader range. If I glance at my gauge when the unit is a it's operating temperature the needle looks very close to being hot and at the gauges max reading. I would like to have a gauge that I can...
That is exactly what I did using that braided sheathing on my slave cable, I don't like that corrugated plastic stuff. I found some braiding that kinda looked like desert storm colors, I rewired my trailer with it and every time I walk by it I think its a snake!
I used to be a die hard Optima fan but as of late they haven't been as good as in the past, I heard they got bought out but can't confirm that. A friend of mine uses Wally Mart batteries because he said they are everywhere you are and their cheaper than Optima's. So I'm going down that same...
So the way I understand this is the Dixon Valve part number 1740404C Male NPSM to Female NPTF fitting should fit the after market fuel filters listed in this thread but I need to use a 1/4 inch viton o-ring with the Dixon fitting. Is that right?
I have a 803 on a PU-798a trailer and I am trying to identify what this is in the picture and what is it used for. I searched the very long TM on the trailer but it was not mentioned. I've had this unit almost a year and haven't noticed it that square box, on the back side it is not connected to...
This is the route I went, I got a Hanney reel with 150 feet of cord and I use two types of junction boxes to use 120 voltage only. Works good for outdoor parties or if the family needs extension cord power during an outage
Found a gauge by the NSN number for $16.00 bucks, thanks Guyfang and Dav5 for the search help. Got the new gauge in and installed and I still had a problem. I removed the fuel sender and cleaned it up a reinstalled it and presto everything is working. Thanks to everyone here for the help!
An electrician friend of mine said he could drive one in by hand within 5 inches sticking out of the ground, I told him if he could I would kiss his a#$ in the middle of the street. He took a big gulp cup full of water and did just what he said, luckly I didm't have to pay up!
So where do you find an NOS gauge for that price? I search for stuff on the net and can't find much unless it's a military supplier and the are ridiculously priced! I never see anything on fleabay except whole units
I went through the test procedures and it looks like my gauge is bad. I was thinking of the Stewart Warner gauge because of the 2 years warranty, Does anybody here on SS sell the original Beede gauge?
Ok, so this is what I have been doing but, all the info got me confused then I forgot that the generator itself is connected to the trailer (thx Light in the Dark). That ground training power point got me thinking (or scared!) so I wanted to check for sure. Bottom line = 1 correctly bonded...
Ok, I know that if I am running my 803 that's on the trailer that it came with and I am connected to my house that I remove the bond from the nuetral to ground and it wired to use the house ground. I also know if I am using the 803 as a stand alone say with 120 volts and extension cords out in a...
