    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    Decrease fuel pressure, after first test fire. better to have not enough than too much and flood the chamber sounds like it wasnt clean burning if the sight window was dirty

    I think you are running wayyyyy too much fuel psi, try 90 psi or less. I am only running 70? Psi , ithink. Also i think max waste oil would be like 20% or less. I think I remember reading about waste oul use but don’t remember the number

    Hanging the k8, was more of a cooling effect rather than a grounding issue. I drilled holes in one k 8 that was being problematic to manually operate the switch inside, but there was no need to manually operate it, it went to work and is working to this day in a body shop

    Ok so single ph is 2 legs of 120v, 240v measured leg to leg. 3 ph is 3 legs of 120v, 208v measured leg to leg you can use a 3 ph generator to get single ph by using only 2 legs. But you will only have 208 v 804 805 806 are 10 wire generators therefore they cannot be reconfigured to a true...

    10kw constant with 10% surge if you use 2 legs of a 3ph generator. 2/3 of rated capacity. the tm states you can use as single ph, use terminal 1 and 3.

    You can get 2 legs of 120v, but across both legs is only 208, not 240v. Generator will produce about 5 kw per leg, so single phasing a 3ph genny will only get 2/3 rated power

    804 is a 10 wire head, not 12. I load tested my 804a at 18k with no issues, it didn't like 21k. The video is after a used motor swap, so it was smoking more than normal to blow out the cobwebs https://youtu.be/HZuCSmFHLV4

    MEP 804b MPU source?

    I had a ghost also on a 805, got mad, disassembled whole control coupla, put it all back together. I didn’t fix anything, but this day, its the most reliable. my guess is corrosion or bad connection, now the $10k question, which one.

    Color screens require backlight to be on, so turn the dashboard lights on when you turn on master

    MEP 804b MPU source?

    You can operate injection pump by hand, for troubleshooting. Takes 2 soldiers unless you have really long arms. My guess is mpu same as robert. Unless something got knocked loose with the tip over. Might check all relays behind control panel
