An MEP will eat up a big chunk of real estate there. Does your flatbed have boxes underneath at the corners? If not, maybe it'd be a better setup to build a box and slide a portable Generac diesel in there. Lighter weight for certain, smaller footprint, but same approx KW...

I think it depends on where you mount both. Would the genset be right up against the cab, cross ways in the bed? Where would the boom be mounted, rear corner?

The IP hoses should be as close to touching the vertical push rod tubes as possible... And identically positioned across all cylinders.

If its happy at 10, let it run loaded for an hour or two there. Put some seafoam in it at the same time... Really make the unit work, and clean everything up. After that, test with additional load as needed. But remember not all load is equal.

The LPW4 has a number of uses in military equipment (pumps primarily). May use dowel on alternate platforms.

The flywheel in the 803a is special for the application (and will not work with a 12v starter). I assume the flywheel was designed to a print of the LP crank, and it was later decided that no pin would be used... And this was somehow an easier option than changing the print? Who knows... There...

As knowledgeable as Gary is on the L-P products, I don't believe he is correct here. I am siding with Guy. Here are some photos of the unit I just took apart. The unit I broke down was factory tight, no sign of shear on the 'pin'. There is a hole on the flywheel, and it does appear to be filled...

So when is my gauge being sent back?

Broke one apart today. See below. Sorry I don't have a thread gauge handy, but you should be able to pick up pitch and thread count off your remnants? Metric conversion on your time not mine ;)

It will take a temporary inrush spike up to 15kw without knocking the load offline

That machine is designed to run at 10kw continuously... Have zero concerns.

I've never gotten sparks... but I've gotten diesel charcoal showers many times.

That gauges represents percentage of power output, compared to rating of the machine. So if you were using 240V, and the rated output of the 803A is 52A @ 240V... your machine was producing 45% of 10KW, or 4500W. At least theoretically... clamp meter will tell you definitely, more than an analog...

Do you have a cylindrical shaped fuel pump to the side of the radiator, or is it a cube shape?

Any other takers? At the current interest level its a nonstarter sadly.

Good point. On this machine it will never start if there are any faults in place. When you turn the start switch to PRIME, its a good habit to press the fault reset button, and confirm all bulbs illuminate, before cranking. And yes, you must hold the start switch until you build ~25PSI on the...

Diesel to diesel... which seems better for the $ https://www.generac.com/residential-products/portable-generators/5000-portable-generator-diesel-electric-start-50st-6864/

Have you looked over the Technical Manuals for troubleshooting tips? Have you seen this machine run, or new to you?

Price reduced to $50/ea. Available

Only 10 pair remain. Manufacturer will no longer produce, so these are the last 10 available as far as I know. Don't miss out.
