you need to first understand your power requirements. might plug your RV into the grid via its cord and then go in and start the air conditioners and the lights cycle the pumps etc while a friend has a meter on the cord to measure the amps drawn. after you have done this several times starting...

now that i have joined the ranks of 802A-803A owners i have been searching for more info and mods/procedures and the other owner observations and remedy for this series of generators. i vote for a STICKY that we can use to quick find some for the new owners. please

Yes Yes Yes ^^^^^^^^^

Hey!! i'm an old fart. but i can't hear either so your genny wouldn't bother me. WELCOME to the forum

ohhhh it happened Ha Ha i will try pics later

700 dollars i will post results sometime next week when i have a chance to evaluate it better

bought it. Thanks all for your opinions and advice i really appreciate it all

Thanks. i should have mentioned that it isn't at GA it is a listing from a private seller and i am sure he purchased at auction. price is 700 dollars

if it helps i am pretty sure that Tripple Jims VR can be used without batteries installed. also if you don't already have an 002A maybe you should look for a used Onan DJC or DJB.

That is good to know.Thanks. as far as conversion i think the engine controls as far as the safety system would work on 12 volt but you would need to source a 12 volt start stop solenoid too. maybe Tripplejim could make you a VR but that is a lot of VDC to dump prolly get hot. might be able to...

i have an onan djb generator that starts just fine with a 12 volt bat and it is basically the same engine. although i think purchasing another bat and keeping it 24 volt would be much cheaper and simpler than trying to find a 12 volt starter from an old onan and then exciting the gen head with...
