Yes, you should be able to run your inverter welder with any clean power generator. Whether it's a Honda EUseries or mep-802/803a, any quality generator should do just fine. The one caution would be if using the inverter welder with an inverter generator. When too many electronics get involved...
The fuel solenoid should fully extend(de-energize) and stop fuel flow to the injector pumps. That would be my first guess. It may not be adjusted properly, have some corrosion, a weak spring or just be worn out.
I'm going to have to retract this comment for the time being as looking into the housing online some that I've found have an extra port that is plugged at all times. On page 10 of the engine parts tm items 10&11 show a plug. I will double check what is actually on the 802/803 tomorrow. As for...
For the pressure transducer I added a 1/8"npt tee and a short threaded piece by the original pressure sender right by the normal-off-crank switch. For the temperature sender there are only two ports, one for the sender and one for the over temp switch. i didnt want to take out the stock over...
yes it would be easier and they are available. On one of the 802s I haven't had much time to work on I have a pressure transducer and a temp probe from that big auction site i will be trying tomorrow. One is analog and one is digital output but both have greater accuracy than needed (+-.5C and...
according to my notes from over a year ago...
fuel empty: 216-264 ohms; fuel full: 29.7-36.3 ohms (the inverse of a standard VDO sender)
temps: 164-116F= 117-143 ohms; 204-156F=58.2-71.5ohms
oil pressure: 32-48psi=113.3-92.7ohm; 72-80psi=36.85-30.15ohms
Hope this helps. I had looked into using a...
@Glockfan Add me to that list please. While I'm not complaining about a 2hz frequency drop on a mechanical governed 802, being able to throw 16.5kw on an 804 and barely see the frequency needle move was amazing. If I may ask, is the project that you and Peter working on include the controller...
The frequency drop shouldn't be that much with a 4500 watt load unless the engine wasn't up to temp. The procedure for adjusting the droop of the mechanical governor is in the tech manual and is the same for the 802 and 803. I'm somehow only getting a 2hz drop (from 61.5 to 59.5) with a 30amp...
The 804 is a 10 wire generator head so 120/240 single phase is out of the question (without a transformer) and that's why I got rid of mine. Also the generator head of the 804 is substantially larger than the one on the 803. A 15-20kw non-military "aftermarket" generator head would be a lot more...
I was wondering about this too. At about 15-30 minutes before the end of auction I noticed that some of the items at the local GL site that were were not yet at reserve but above "X" amount magically somehow met reserve even though the bid didn't change. I still feel comfortable bidding on the...
As for the no voltage condition, you may want to check that the pins in the Canon plug aren't corroded. Replacement pins are kinda cheap (<$1) pn#66361-4 and socket for the pin pn#66101-4 (anywhere from 50cents to $1) need to get the $15ish tool to extract them as molex pins are ever so slightly...
That would be correct with it being 3 phase only power. To my belief there are a quite a few reasonable gains over the 803. My setup for the 804 is on a 3500lb civilian generator trailer with a 3 phase nema 4x breaker panel (from my neighbor). I am in the process of making a distribution box...
Wow. I would never imagine ever having to spend $500 on such a small battery. You may be able to ask around and get one for free or very cheap at a small local airport mechanic shop as most of the newer high performance planes are 24 volt from the factory and if someone has the money to buy such...
The wiring diagram is correct as the intake manifold heater plugs are not individually grounded to the manifold. On an installed generator the positive lead carries 24 volt to the (2) 12 volt plugs in series and the latter plug has a wire going to one of the bolts that the a exhaust flange is...
