Usually if they are completely dead, they were hooked up to AC voltage and not DC voltage & are completely burnt out inside.

I have had over a dozen RF-7850M. Some in the IPA models. Have sold/traded many. Sold a non-functional on for a few hundred dollars as I said. Quite a few of them floating around the United States now. See them pop up for sale often.

The picture in your original post shows a VHF radio. Your thread is named RF-7800M-V51X & that is a radio that doesn't exist. Now, you are saying the label says RF-7850M, a multi-band radio, not VHF only. That radio does exist. Going off the picture you shared, it is a RF-7800V-V511 though...

There is no such thing as a RF-7800M-V51X. On top of that, the X is just a fill in for the actual part of that model number that radio is in the L3Harris documentation for IPA's.

I think I have a cable that will work for this to connect it to VIC-3.

I never understood why the "dummy cord" rope was so short. I think they always end up being cut if they actually get used.

I leave all mine outside... some on a trailer, some on the ground. I keep my covers on them. Has never been a problem. As far as a solar battery tender... make sure it is one without any sort of lights for status on it. They will slowly drain the power down. I had one I setup & it killed my...

These are NOT injectors, they are injection pumps. Big difference! You must use proper terminology or you may end up getting the wrong parts/advice when using just words with others. Not trying to be a bother... Just help you avoid a mistake. Years ago when learning with these, I called them...

It will be fine. With the shrink wrap in them, it will be years before anything is an issue.

Well, I will go change that as to not confuse people reading down the road. I swore when I tried, I couldn't get it but that was a while ago. May be getting mixed up with other stuff......

The OEM part number is an AutoMeter pre-adjusted & setup so it can just be installed. Soak the entire strainer in ATF & then the next day, spray with brake cleaner. It usually cleans the strainer up really good. Have had one or two that were so gummed up you couldn't even filled the tank with...

The KUSS units are the best in the way they are built. I stopped putting them in for one reason.... they are not that accurate for the application in the generator. Doesn't show full unless it's about to spill out the filler neck. Shows empty when it's really closer to 1/4ish. As long as you...

Always worth it to put the work in up front. It will give you years of service. The past few weekends I put a little over 50hrs on my MEP 802A without an issue. Did you get your well nut kit from me? If you did, shoot me an e-mail directly.

You have a Lister LPW4 in an MEP 803A that was made for Onan & they name it the DN4. Don't use the China copy parts, it is not worth it.

That's good. The video I shared is when it was at it's worst. It was barley showing at the beginning & I suspected stuck rings. Just a suggestion!
