When I had a few engines apart I figured out how these get their vacuum. There are some passages in the head (Post #237, picture 1) that connect the tops of all the valve covers to the intake. Its that hollow dowel pin / roll sleeve that half are obscured in the photo by the springs. The valve...

In the 6 - 10 kva range Ive used Toshiba they seem to be decent (they take 21 7ah batteries). Also had some OneAC sinergy II units around that size. I really like the Liebert GXT3 units, but the GXT2 units would suffice even though they are older. 5kva and below the suspects are mainly...

So what you are saying is you took a standard gauge, let it fill with a fluid so it becomes one of those premium liquid filled gauges? See, I have problems with my gauges losing fluid, not gaining... We should trade. I do like the red tint though. I do apologize for not adding anything useful...

Id be interested in seeing the pictures. one of my 831s has an issue (unresolved because all of my time is going into rebuilding 803s) and Ill be tearing the inverter apart to replace some components. Im pretty sure mine is down to either a control problem, voltage sense problem, or hopefully...

These generators tend to generate a lot cleaner power than 3600rpm gens as they are brushless and have a proper voltage regulator. Not perfect but clean enough for a lot of consumer UPSs. Ive had some not like them, Ive had some not have an issue. I personally dont own any standby or...

:jumpin: <-- Hard not to contain myself. TY for the progress report.

Looks great. I assume that is the final revision PCB so any tweaks would be software? Cant wait to test one out myself, do you have a price range or is development too early to come up with that? Ill be patient instead of bombard with more questions that would be answered in time. :jumpin:

Id be in for at least 3 sets if priced accordingly (knowing they will be higher than what I could get today) and possibly more depending on if I end up getting more gens with blown hoses or not. Thus far out of 7 ive been pretty good. I do like the modification as I use an 802 as a primary and...

Sounds great. Ill be looking forward to a finished product. Ill talk with a few people Ive sold gens to and my partner and if we come up with more ideas Ill post them.

This is all a very valid way of thinking, power goes out, router / home AP goes down, no access to device because the 'hub' is gone. I think this is how 90% of people would use it. Now being an IT pro I am a bit of a power user. One of my pet peeves is devices like this that ONLY operate in...

As this progresses my knowledge progresses. Found some tools to help that I am learning how to use. I found a calculator for "Beam bending equations calculator - supported both ends loaded on 2 points with equal loads" on Engineers Edge that helps with creating the crossmember that could support...

Im going to be losing access to my metal shop in the near future so I am getting all of my fab and welding projects out of the way instead of working on generators. The project: After much research, measuring, talking with people to see if I am crazy, more measuring, more research, (both with...

Ill look into the deuce hangers. Quick searches appear to be what I am looking for. Does anybody have a source for these that dont include the springs and U bolts? Anybody know which TM I might look at so I dont spend 3 days reading? I saw those pics from browsing around while searching...

4 loops and 2 wires per CT right? I can see how one would see 8 loops.

I have a few M103/M105 trailers that I am modifying and am using these because I need the narrow frame. All of the M101 trailers and the aluminum ones I have area all too wide for a particular application. (I have 77 inches to jam an 84 inch trailer.) Application is 1 or 2 MEP-803a generators...

Havent run into that problem in a mep but in my (rather cluttered) head I would think either the reconnection switch isnt hooked up properly, a winding in the genhead is bad, etc... Id say because the winding is heating up something is shorted or out of range to draw that current. I am sure...

FWIW even though it doesnt sound like this is the issue (I didnt see what the failure mode was in this thread, then again it was late yesterday when I read-through) if it was a problem where going past 7kw bogs the engine where it cant produce enough power to maintain 60hz it could be just...

Hmm, looks like ill take my 5 hour test and add an hour to it. No complaints for an extra hour here.

Agreed, I run 802 as my primary backup source even though I have a handful of 803s. my 3ton ac and heatpump water heater have no problem with it. Last weekend did a nice run on it, 5 hours @5kw then 1hr@6kw no issues. There are a few threads that list all the manuals, fluids/filters, etc that...

For the beginning of the thread questions let me just say I have successfully done a 400hz to 60hz transplant. It was more of a full down to the skid restore of a unit and it turned out amazing. Did the same with all of the "scrap" from the donor and turned it into a table with a refrigerator...
