Not sure if it would be of use to you but I have 2 of the 100A connecting cables on the spools with the male plug to fit that generator. I think they are 50' each.
Shoot me a PM if you have any interest.
If you are still having problems dropping the 240V, do as outlined above, loosen up the long rods holding the selector switch sections together, get between the sections and into the openings where the connection tabs poke out of the switch and spray it good with contact cleaner, then work the...
Are you sure your dad has an 803 and not a 003? Like csheath said, a 34 is the biggest I can get in an 803. The 24 is a tad too big....
Those Odyssey's look like the big square 6TL batteries for an 003A
Hey Guy... as an update, I prepped the other matching 003A this weekend. flushed fuel system, filters etc. filled the IP with carb cleaner and let sit a couple days. Fuel pumps were both gummed up and check valves stuck, so got those pumping. Fuel tank was full of crud and had some holes after...
I think for sanity sake the best bet might be to determine ( through the TM or others here ) where the PC mark is relative to #1 TDC , then drop a valve and find TDC and see where you are at. PC is not an indication of TDC, it is somewhere before, but I don't know off hand how many degrees...
So as of now, the flow test was successful and the pin inserted into the IP slot and flywheel PC mark are in alignment, correct?
My thinking is that since the IP drives off the cam, if the flywheel had sheared the key and spun, I would expect it to be impossible to align the PC mark and actual...
Also, keep in mind that the overload on these machines do not trip off immediately. Once an overload is applied, it will bog the motor and it will start to chug black smoke for a short period of time before tripping the overload. It doesn't react instantly like the circuit breaker on an 003A...
When you do the IP timing, be sure you hold the throttle wide open. Begin with the motor set so PC is slightly below the pointer. turn teh pumps on and watch the fuel flow from port #1. Rotate the motor slowly until fuel flow stops. the pointer should now be very close to the PC mark. If so I...
The flywheel is held to the crankshaft with a taper fit and a key. It's possible the key sheared off and the flywheel has spun, but that is fairly unlikely. Also, if that had happened, you would not be able to get the drill bit to align with the IP slot while the pointer is at PC. The IP would...
Threw the pump back together and replaced the delivery valve spacer and pump seals, installed pump ( without moving engine ) and its running good now. The pump timing is about 2 notches advanced but its running pretty good now. I didn't find anything wrong other than little pieces of delivery...
Your thinking is correct, PC should come up almost 1/4 rotation after the #1 intake valve closes and the compression stroke begins. The A and B marks I believe are references for valve lash adjustment. It's mentioned somewhere in the TM.
Can you give us the history on this machine? Is it new to...
Are you having any cooling problem other than the temp gage not working? It sounds like your gage just broke, from your description you don't indicate any other overheating problem. Rad. is full, just fill the bottle to the mark and keep an eye on it. It's intended to go up and down a little as...
After sending the dimensions the other day I decided I might as well make up a couple more adapters and I noticed a mistake on the dimensions as well as an area for improvement.
The remaining wall that seals the adapter to the block should be .080" wide, not .100" , this in turn increases the ID...
I got them from www.DiscountHydraulichose.com PN 6400-12-12 They call it a 3/4 JIC x #12 SAE/ORB. Should be about $2.50 ea. so might as well buy a few...
Sorry about the upside down pictures, not sure what wrong there....
Here you go, sorry about the hand written chicken scratch drawing, but you should be able to get the idea. One of these days I'll learn Solid Works so I can model things more professionally looking!
So the .100" wide lip is what fits into the recess where the Square ring gasket normally seals...
Ah, darn, I forgot. I'll grab one and make you a sketch with the dims. that I used. I'll send something later today, gotta run home at lunch time and get one, I didn't make myself a drawing when I machined them.
I just printed out the Ambac service guide and the pictures are identical to the TM, so I'm suspecting the plunger in mine is 180 out from it's correct alignment.
I'll verify it tonight and assemble according to the diagrams, although I'd still swear the writing on the plunger guide seemed...
LITD, I have been thinking about this for a couple days because I could swear the 802 and 803 were different as well. I looked at 2 of my machines last night and they are in fact different. The 803's I have are taller and have cut outs for the radiator cap and fuel pump, like Zed254's picture...
Well, last night I pulled it apart and found nothing obviously wrong yet. Plunger guide was in place and not damaged ( I think ) and plunger is in the guide oriented the way you would expect, with the round side aligned with the round side of the guide. However, do you guys know if the TM has an...
