Check to see if the wires are reversed on the meter. When you first start it up does the gage go to the right or left. If it goes to the left your wires are reversed.

Well that explains a lot! I think we were all assuming you had an OEM regulator! That's what we get for making ass-umptions.

I would not worry about lube. My experience has been that solvent is much better at dissolving any gum than oil is. The clearances inside the pump are so tight that oil won't get into the needed areas anyway. Once free, new diesel will provide the needed lubrication. Because you rotated the...

Don't bother trying to parallel your 803. Get it hooked up running and test your setup and see where you're at. You may find out that your fine with 1 803 a soft start on the AC condenser and a little common sense. Don't over complicate your emergency setup for little to no benefit and but less...

Back to CT-Mike's question. Converting the 005 to single phase is pretty simple. Only thing to look out for is that in Sewerzeuk's video, his buss bar was a separate piece on top of the connection plate. On every machine I've converted the buss bar was riveted to the underside of the plate. If...

Can you maybe clarify or show how you have it wired up? Are you running in 120/240 mode and putting individual 120V loads on L1 and L3? If so, running an imbalanced load like that may be playing tricks on your ammeter. Not sure what you mean by shop heater on 5000W pulling 80% on 1 leg?? You...

Can you send a picture of your VR wiring? There should be stainless steel jumper bars ( barely visible unless you look closely ) jumping screws 1,2,3 and 8,9 ( with a wire on 8 but not 9 ) Then you should have individual wires on 10-18 So 1-7 and 9 should all be empty screws. If you have wires...

Try not to get to anxious to test out you new system at full output right off the bat. Take the time to properly service and test the 803 before hooking it up to your house, just incase there are any issues. I'm not sure where you bought it etc. but if its from the auction take extra care...

Humm, very interesting. Since I'm not familiar can you explain what we're seeing on the graph? Is this a 1 day time frame? Green is solar production throughout the day I assume?? What's the red, Net usage?

That slave port assembly looks correct just based off the pic. Ground cable looks to be about the right length... Out of curiosity did the one on the machine look like someone had modified it to make the ground reach to the starter?

Acetone / Lacquer thinner....

Normally the low fuel float will shut you down before running dry, but if it is stuck and the machine runs dry nothing will get damaged. Fill the fuel, then run the pump on prime/run for a while and it should re-prime it and push any air back to the tank allowing it to restart.

Unless I'm missing it, the TM's seem to be terrible as far as showing the battery and slave port cable routings, but without looking at one of mine, I believe the slave port negative goes to the back of the ground stud on the frame just behind and left of the slave port. Then another separat...

So in the picture up above the hoses are incorrectly looped together. Normally the line from the nipple at the cap goes to the bottom of the bottle. The overflow line at the top of the bottle gets connected to both the drain on the front of the block under the water pump, the drain on the bottom...

I'd be curious to hear the results.... The OP's issue definitely sounds like a float issue, but I'm also curious about the tiger loop scenario. I'm curious to see how a tiger loop works when fed with a pump. I put a tiger loop on my boiler but it is suction fed from the burner pump, not force...

Agree with LITD, fix the alternator and keep the battery charger as the backup. Radiator is a good old brass tank and everything is soldered to it. If you still have the nipple it should fit snugly into the hole in the radiator. If you have a propane torch, flux and solder you can fix it easily...

To R&R the pump, the only gasket in question is an o-ring sealing the pump body to the block. Usually the o-ring can be reused in a pinch. Worst case you can just add a bead of gasket sealer to the o-ring. On a PSU pump if the plunger shaft is broken you will know it as soon as you remove it and...

You can rotate the motor either direction if you are trying to get back to PC mark. If you are unsure about being at #1 compression, you can look inside the opening for the IP. The valve lobe to the right of center is the #1 intake. If you look through the IP hold that cam lobe should be...

By "Ring" I assume you mean the tip of the solenoid plunger? Lift or pry that up with a screwdriver to hold it out of your way. Does the lever coming out of the side of the IP ( with the linkage rod attached to it move freely up and down, or is it sticking? It's impossible to say for sure what...
