The load bank shut off and I had tripped the overload. When I tried to turn the S5 switch back on, it would activate K1(?)but not stay connected. I would see a bump in % gauge and than it would shut down. All along the DS7 would light when that the switch S5 was activated. Since it wouldn't...

Jama, not sure what this thing is that you call "patience"??? Can I get that at Walmart??? I hear you on all fronts. I am running break in oil. I read that is very important. I am going to go thru the connections again and see if there is anything obvious that is going on. Maybe look at that TB...

Gentleman, I have verified the wiring of S8 is correct. I have rotated the switch many times. I have not douched it with contact cleaner yet. Waiting on that to arrive. I am running said 4KW heater as a load bank. I seem to be able to run it for between 8-9 minutes and than it will trip the...

Light, thanks for your helpful response. The information you provided is exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to follow the manuals and will put some more work into that. I will get back to you regarding the PM you sent me. Thank you.

Jana, thanks very much for the helpful post. I am new to all of this and trying to interpret the military jargon and abbreviations for everything can get confusing. But, I am trying and downloading TM's(see, I am getting it!)every day. Glad to hear others have had the same issue. And yes, I did...

jama, thanks for the suggestion. Will try to identify the reconnection switch and check the connections. There are only 15 hours on this unit.

Not sure what "dance" your talking about. I just re-read the whole thing and there was nothing mentioned about a K8 relay. I am not sure which of the multiple books and hundreds of pages I have to scour to find the "K8" or "S8", but I will attempt to do that. Yes I did get an idiot light on the...

Hello all. Have my "new" 802a up and running. Have a 240volt 4K watt space heater hooked up via the main lugs. The heater runs for approx 10 min than starts tripping the overload. I have 2 of these and was going to use them one at a time and than both together to put a strain on the motor and...

I did hook up to the high voltage lugs!! Was just running my small heat gun off the conv. outlet to get some more juice out of it

I checked the air filter specifically and it is brand new.

Well, got the generator up and running today. Was keeping an eye on gauges and looking for leaks. Oil pressure gauge is not working and just stays at 50LBS. Did get convenience outlet working and had a heat gun plugged into that. It is rated at 12.5 amps and had my usage gauge at almost 75%. I...

Well, this was wise advice! What a mess!! I can't believe how much mouse/varment garbage I have removed from this unit. There was so much nesting material in this area that I am assuming the urine sat on this terminal strip and has literally dissolved some screw heads. To the point I need to...

Thanks for all the help guys! I will update this as we go along. I am sure I will be out in shop at 4Am tomorrow continuing to get this beast up and running. I will follow all of the sage advice here. Can anyone give me some feedback on the batteries??? Anyone seen this before? Hoping NAPA has...

Thanks guys-I am getting over it, slowly! I am a bigger is better kind of person! But, age is helping me thru that. There is so much good info here that I know it will be fine. I recently acquired a Generac 7500 watt generator that was left out in the weather and the owner couldn't get it going...

Hello All, I was just given a 802A that has only 14 hours on it. Lots of mice have made their homes in it for the last 5 years it has been sitting on it's shipping pallet. I am in the process of cleaning all of that stuff out. What a mess. I don't see any wire damage yet, but will continue to...

Guys, need a little bit of a pep talk to feel better. A friend of mine had what I thought all along was an 803a that he was giving to me. He brought it over from Germany, been on it's original pallet for the last 5 years at least. I finally picked it up today, very excited! Got it home, opened...

Guy, thanks for the tip! I use a Mac so i needed to poke around a bit to figure out how to show page #'s. But I found it. Will take care of that mod when I get the unit in a couple of weeks, along with a whole other list of checks to get this thing up and running.

Daybreak, I feel stupid asking this, but how do I determine which is page 29? I saved it as a PDF, went to that and looks for page numbers. Just see the govt. designations on pages. Want to make this fuse mod and would love to find the instructions. Thank you.

Thank you Guy, I will go thru the manual and listen to some other help that comes along here! Looking forward to getting this generator up and running.

Hello All, I am about to pick up an MEP 803A. It has a tag on it that says "Engine Preserved". Does anyone know if there is anything special I have to do to the generator/motor to re-commision it? I know sometimes people will release tension on valve springs for example or certain fuel additives...
