I think I commented about a pair of Standadyne pumps I purchased back in August from Merlindiesel.com, located in the UK.
2 new pumps, 3 day shipping $225
The website pictures looked different, but the sales guy ,Ryan Walkden, opened one box and sent me pictures of the correct pump.

It was the fault indicator that I dried out. I unplugged the harness and removed the nuts and cover, propped a hair dryer up to it for 15-20 minutes. I'd read an old thread of false fault shutdowns , Guyfang had commented that moisture was common problem. Probably just having everything...
That description was for the temp, oil, fuel gauge lights . You have the white ones ,the little black plug on back of those twists 90° left to come out and insert bulb there. The Panel lights bezel ,twists off from outside and bulb twists out of socket.
I had an 802 doing simular, use the wiring schematic to follow wiring from S5 to k1 ,checking for continuity along the way. I lost continuity going through J7 plug , open right door look up, I think the lock ring twisted 90° and plug pulled strait down? (Poor memory) Sprayed contact cleaner...
I have 831a's , had 802a's, and have an 803a, all wired with 50 amp outlets, share the same Carol 6/4 cable's, along with my RV , 25' to 36' , even use a distribution box with NO drop in voltage under 50'.
If you tested/ verified float works correctly "now" , could have just been sticky that one time. I know others have experienced this , you can reach into the day tank and check the float ( quote: " If you dont have Popeye forearms" ) thank you Guyfang !🤣
I use the same Nema 14-50R outlet. Allows me to use standard 50amp Rv cord. I can add in my 50amp blow through spyder box to feed neighbors. And my old electric stove load bank plugs right in as well. 50amp twist lock inlet to interlock house panel.
Deoxit will more than likely be the cure. I've never used it but have had success with a CRC brand cleaner. My first load test ,years ago ,was about the same gauge reading, I found a N.O.S. gauge on ebay, before it arrived I sprayed the switches & exercised them BOOM gauge worked. 👍🏻
The E8135 will work, it has the same specs, but different mounting bracket, you'll have to reuse some of your fittings and splice the wire harness plug from the E1074. $35 @ Summit, $29 @ Rockauto.
TRC's website shows they may have some new and rebuilt. I think I priced one from them years ago when watching some 831s missing inverters, VERY pricey !
