    803A droop adjust screw?

    I’m assuming the S1 is the main control switch. What is the L5?

    803A droop adjust screw?

    First, to everyone, the selinoid slams forward (or back) the second you turn the switch to off by either means. So there’s nothing wrong with the selinoid or wiring to it. Second, to answer the above quote, it runs normal for a maybe ten seconds, then maybe a little slower for another 20...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Ok, I have confirmed the selinoid works in both cases. I just didn’t wait long enough when I turned the knob to off. That brings me to my next question. Why does my 5KW generator shut off almost immediately when I turn it to off and the 10kw runs for another minute?

    803A droop adjust screw?

    This is an old thread I started and got so frustated that I quit working on the generator. I finally got back on it yesterday. I got a borescope camera and was able to confirm one of my injector pump pins was not in the rack. I installed three of them in the rack with the camera. The forth one I...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    The rack is inside. Can’t take pic unless I tear it all apart. So it appears the pumps maybe at fault. When I switched the two front pumps, the front cylinder got hot. I say appear because these pumps are so hard to install. You can’t really be sure if the swivel pin goes in the rack or not...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    So I pulled the center pumps and reinstalled them. No change. Now I’m swapping the two front pumps. (got to let it cool first.

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Ok, I put an elbow on the exhaust so the smoke goes outside. I tried to do the adjustments on that attachment. When I was adjusting one pump, I heard a snap like the pin just snapped in to the rack. I ended up pulling two injector pumps. I’m not sure if the pins were in the rack or not. I...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    I watched that video. It seems like your machine runs more controlled than mine. I will try to make a video today. I would like to get it slightly out side the shop, but my pallet jack can’t go out the door. I also would like to put a load on it. I don’t got a good set up like you. I will need...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    When you say “rack is sticking”, what does that mean? I know there’s a rack inside that moves to control the injectors. It moves freely when at rest. let me ask you this stupid question. If the volts read about 240 and the Hz is about 60, does that mean the motor is running the correct rpm...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Yes, I have a shut down problem. On my 5KW, when I turn the switch to off, I would estimate it takes less than ten seconds to completely stop. On this 10 KW, when I first turn it off, it doesn’t even react for 10 seconds! It just keeps on roaring away. After a bit, it starts throttling back and...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Yes, I can see this plate move with the wheel. In this pic, you can see the plate is as far as it can go. In fact, I moved the stop screw so I can move it further. It had no effect. You can see the droop screw in this pic on the left. Not sure if you can see that it is adjusted completely out to...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    So my MEP 803 has always seemed to run fast. The minute I start it, it just roars away. The star wheel adjuster has no effect. I backed off the stop screw so I can adjust the star wheel more. Still no effect. The no load Hz is slightly higher than 60. I don’t suppose that is terrible, but I...
