Fang, trust me, I don't give up easily and welcome a good challenge! I am confident this one will live again. These motors are pretty simple and with the help and support of this site, and those $#%* TM's, I will make it work! I will keep everyone updated as we go along.

I couldn't find any 803 motors in classifieds. Was it a recent posting? Thanks

Haloeb, I will keep you posted once we get a handle on what is going on. Going to the classifieds now!

Jama, this is good stuff! I made a deal with him and am getting the whole rig for under a grand. Once I get it back to the shop, take it off trailer, I will evaluate what is up with it and make a plan. I like your suggestion and advice. Will start to source head gasket and others to accomplish...

Nice score!!

Jama, I wish we were closer, I would take you up on that!! We have been going back and forth and I just sent my final offer of $800. I think I could soak the cylinders, but the bigger issue is he broke the crank bolt head off at the pulley end. Let's see how this goes, I always like a good...

Thanks for feedback guys. I always like a challenge, but I also like my money in my pocket! The guy has been honest and this is his response from this morning after I asked some specific questions. Going to clarify whether "flywheel bolt" is crank bolt at front of engine or actually on flywheel...

Gentleman, I have just made a deal to pick up an 803 on a trailer, 4K hours. I only just got my first gen set (802) 3 weeks ago! The ad says it needs "flywheel bolt" replaced and in correspondence he says that he was told it runs, just needs a battery cable, couple of muffler bolts. Kind of a...

Light, thanks for the reply. I will look at panels and see what I can find.

If your comfortable with this suggestion, I find it useful to get a real amperage number of your needs. Get an Amprobe meter and check your mains coming into your electrical panel. You basically clamp the meter on to the wires coming in from the street. Slowly start turning things on or have an...

Hi Guys, rainy sunday here in Patriots nation. Just came in from installing casters on my 802. Nice mod if your able to keep it on a slab. For some reason, my generator does not have any ID plates on it. Came that way, I don't want to get into a discussion as to why they are not on the unit...

prices Light, I saw that one!! I also saw the result and I have to believe that it was some kind of a typo. Units right next to it on the auction went for $1700/$1900 respectively! I pray that mangled one didn't go for that much!

Wanted to close this thread out, or at least bring some conclusion to it. After much tutelage from many here, a few PM's with suggestions of solutions, I have solved the issue with the unit tripping my overload without even getting to 100%. I sourced a K8 from eBay for cheap money and installed...

Go on youtube and listen to a few. They are called "tactical quiet", but they are a 4 cylinder diesel with minimal mufflers. I would say you could put it where you want, but build an enclosure around it. Preferably concrete block and some sound insulation. For a longer duration run it could get...

Just so I understand, when your dryer element would kick on, that 20+amps was on top of what you were showing on your Amprobe? I can't get my 802 above 20amps on L1. And showing 24+/-amps on L3 before everything just trips and goes to overload. No engine bogging or anything. I do get it to maybe...

Day, I plan on running it today for a few hours, will report back. I am just wondering why it trips the overload so easily. I have been using your video as a reference on your 802. Mine won't bog down at all, just trips the overload and that is it.

Hello all, I searched the site but couldn't find any real info. I am considering doing an auction for an 803. Seems most popular places for auctions are in Ohio and Georgia. I am in North East(south of Boston). I have gone to GP and used their quote system and am awaiting some answers. I am...

Farmitall-Guyfang responded to one of my posts with this. You asked about paper schematics, this is what you need! He was spot on. I printed these out tonight. It will make your life much easier. Go to the TM forum. Look at the thread, "All the manuals you need for the MEP-802A". Open the...

Guy, thanks for those tips on getting a printable version. I know that will help immensely. I took the top off again today to recheck everything. Once I started poking around I realized that everything inside there is labeled! I.E. K1, TB6, S8, etc. That was a huge help. I did run it up today...

I have just gone thru the schematic and it is very difficult to follow since I am new to these and not an electrical engineer. And, I tried printing them, but they are large files and either print very small or are too large for one piece of paper. So, I try to jump around on my computer. I just...
