After checking a known good 002, either I'm measuring it wrong, or the DMM Vs. wheatstone bridge measurements are completely different. I also got .062 ohms when checking another gen, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong with my measurement. I do have a few other machines I can check as well as...

Thanks Peter. I took the plug off the back of the AC reconnect box and it appears the exciter stator winding is about .065 ohms. Looking at the TM I believe they are looking for 3.6 ohms +/- 10% using a wheatstone bridge. Assuming the wheatstone is similar to a DMM I think I need to dig...

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a burnt R1 resistor on the A4 bridge rectifier board in an 002 / 003? I recently picked up another nice 002 from a nearby estate auction, on a tip from another SS member. The owner told me he acquired it while stationed at Ft...

Interesting... I just ordered some ( fairly heavy ) truck parts from Rock Auto and they shipped from 2 locations to RI for a total of around $30 for the 2 big heavy packages. Guess they keep their fuel pumps stored in their Alaska warehouse! Now back to the 802... so if your friend's wife ran...

You are probably correct in thinking the contactor was stuck, if you do a little looking around you will see that several of us have used the rubber mallet rework to "Fix" stuck contactors in a pinch. If everything inside is clean and corrosion free I would say put it back together ( ensure the...

L.I.T.D is correct. I've used quite a few Airtex E8135 to directly replace the older Cube style Facet pump. It will drop right in using the original fittings. To replace a failed E1074 is slightly more difficult because the E1074 has a permanent Right angle outlet on it, so you need to also use...

To comment on 87cr250r's Overspeed question, while ANYTHING is possible with these generators, I believe that machine does have over speed safety's but in addition, I would suspect that a correctly manufactured diode ring would be able to handle much more "overspeed" than the engine's...

Probably not a big deal at this point. Those auctions are all closed already. I believe the rule is intended more for posting or discussing upcoming auctions, not so much closed auctions. I agree... I would never pay $2000 ea. plus fees ( that $10K auction was for 5 units ) for something that...

Sounds like a super thorough winter prep. I wouldn't be surprised if the fuel additive helped smooth things out a little. Lately I have seen lots of issues with fuel pumps , IP's and injectors on the 002/003 series beginning to have problems with gum and sticking after just a few months...

Wow, PN 80002, a can of Valvoline starting fluid.... $3.99 at AutoZone, Wonder what Uncle Sam's cost is ?.....

IF you plan to keep and use the trailer there are a couple electric / hydraulic conversion kits available for those trailers. or any trailer with hydraulic wheel cylinders. The are super simple to install and they work great. I used a 1500 lb. on on a dual wheel generator trailer with an 005 on...

Excellent news Ken! I recommend blue Loctite 242 and about 30 ft/lbs on the fitting. Also, orient the adapter with the 3 holes at 9:00 12:00 and 3:00. This will minimize oil drain back in the event of a leaky anti-drain back valve in your filter and result in quicker oil pressure. Thanks Ray.

Well, a balanced generator is a happy generator, but.... it will still function perfectly fine with just the 2 legs being utilized, especially with your light load.... Which bring up the whole Wet Stacking issue. Your relatively little load on a 30K will lead to wet stacking and black goo...

I believe that is correct Guy. So I assume your thought here is to run your single phase 240 ( technically 208 single phase ) off L1 and L2, then throw some other misc. 120V single phase loads on the courtesy plug ( or L3 /L0 directly ) to get a little more power and help balance things out a...

Ok, good info. Also, disregard my earlier comment about the hole in the VR. I was thinking you had an 803 not 003. On your machine the issue could still be a failing voltage adjust pot on the control panel and there are also a couple linear adjustable resistors on the VR that can get funny as...

Any answers to post #2 as far as how you're reading the voltages?

Correct. it will never throw a fault and then slowly wind down to a stop with the power still ON. However.... it is possible to have mechanical failures that could lead to some degree of engine slowing down before power disconnects. A mechanical failure with the IP for example, or a plugged...

3 Thoughts... 1) are you measuring voltage with the factory gage or are you using a DMM or known accurate digital gages? The factory gages are not totally accurate, more of a ballpark reading. 2) If using a DMM or known good digital gage, first thought would be that your voltage adjust pot may...

In the case of a fault, power disconnects immediately at the magnetic circuit interruptor. Depending on the fault condition the engine may or may not shut down. Things like over voltage, over current etc. only disconnect power, they don't shut down the engine. Low oil pressure, low fuel, over...

Ok, you Do not have the fuse mod. done to your set. The gray fuse holder to the left of the AC select switch is your alternator. Look at Call Me Colt's recent posting just below this one called 802 Fix up thread 2.0 He just added the fuse mod to his 802 and posted a picture of what it normally...
