Sounds like the next step is probably to get pricing on your different options. Given your excellent ability shown thus far, I'm wondering if a commercial 12 wire generator conversion might fit your needs best? It may be cheaper than a rewind and you could set it up for single and / or 3 phase...

Forget trying to convert the 803. Like others have said, it will be much cheaper to simply buy batteries than to convert it. A while ago I posted an article about my son putting a DN2M into a John Deere garden tractor, I also wanted to convert it to 12V but found it would be impractical and...

I've had more than 1 over the years with the wires reversed on the meter! Definitely sounds like you found one as well.

Ok, So looking at things again, your 701 is a little different under the hood than the 016D I did last, but.... the wiring labels in post 13 are correct as far as what they are ( I compared them to the TM ) So the wire on #20 will go to F1 X on the SX460 Wire #21 goes to F2 XX on the SX460 The...

On your random overload / short circuit failure, this seems to be a fairly common fault on the 831. Mine does it occasionally when the humidity is high too. Kklop has determined that the issue is caused by humidity / moisture getting into the unsealed potentiometers used in the inverter. His...

You know I had to go and Google "Gerber Tool" to see what you were talking about :unsure:, I had no idea what it was. As soon as I saw a picture I knew.... Here in the US ( at least New England where I am ) we call it a "Leatherman" , but not one single person I know has ever called it a "Multi...

Agreed, Hopefully head gasket, those are well known for needing the head gaskets changed. Got one here in my yard with leaking gasket, luckily it leaks down the side of the block, not into the oil. I believe the new head gasket is an upgraded design from the original, due to the shortcomings of...

I once tried Parallelling two Hydrollic cilinders into the same circit.... Damn what a speling dizaster I ended up with that day! o_O Gotta do what you can to keep sane these days and a little humor goes along way!

Any chance you could post a pic of the install instructions from your SX460, maybe that will jog my memory and help verify post 13. If I recall, everything was super simple, except maybe determining the polarity of F1 and F2?? I used the cheap SX460 AVR from China, not the original SX460 from...

After re-reading a little I have a few addition comments. Guy- I agree that it looks like the IP may have been changed at some point, the only few I have seen all had black painted pumps, this one appears clean , not painted. Also, I would consider that smoke Gray. The TM notes IP timing...

Same here.... ZERO need or desire to ever parallel it. ( not that I have anything to parallel it with anyway... )

When you loosened the lines, were you getting fuel spitting out of each line after you loosened them? It sounds like you only noticed a difference when loosening one line, did the machine just stumble a little or would it have died if you loosened that one line and left it loose for a couple...

I didn't read the entire thread above, but I've done a few SA460's in 016B's and 701's , it worked perfectly and took all of 10 minutes to install! If you need assistance I should be able to recall what I did, but I do remember it was super simple to install.

Yes, the top right square that says "Loosen here?".... Loosen it there! ;)

No worries at all, its better to be apprehensive if unsure than take a risk of getting hurt. The amount of fuel expected is very very small, mere drops and it is under high pressure, but because the amount is so little that the result will be just some minor drips or a small spurt. You will not...

I'd start by cracking the injector lines like Guy suggested. I think you may have a cylinder not firing ( the smoke being the unburnt fuel from that cylinder ) If you crack the lines and get one that doesn't change the engine's sound then we need to hone in on that cylinder. Also try dead...

Humm.... so are you saying the starter cranks for a couple seconds, then the sound of the starter changes and engine cranking stops, but the starter still makes noise? ( and starter is still spinning )? I think we were all under the impression that the starter motor shut off electrically after...

While you're in there, make sure the spring loaded linkage arm ( with the ball and socket ends ) connecting the IP to the governor arm is ok. The linkage should pull itself together ( shorten ) and be able to stretch apart ( lengthen ) only when the stop solenoid pushes down on the IP throttle...

Have you opened it up to see how it looks inside? Before you buy one I'd suggest opening yours, it's basically a very simple magnetic solenoid inside so unless it's a solid block or rust, you may be able to easily clean it and get it going again.

With the gen running under no load, at 60hz, 1800 RPM, the slightest finger touch on the linkage should result in a big change in RPM. If you move the linkage and aren't getting much of a change, or the linkage feels sticky etc. there is probably something sticking or broken inside the IP. I've...
