Definitely good to know.

As beautiful as that looks its a thing I hope to never see in person for myself.

Chemically removing a biofilm is challenging. I would suggest modifying a power washer wand and doing it that way. If you decide to do a chemical clean you'll still need to do a spray ball and not just fill then tank with fluid. You need fluid flowing across the biofilm for the chemicals to do...

Have you verified everytihing is plugged in correctly? I see a MOLEX connector floating in one of the images. There is a row of input connectors down the side of the inverter that should be plugged in to the harness that leads from the PMA.

I used the winch on the truck to drag up a good sized tree in the woods over the weekend.

Search Home Depot for YTX20L-BS and their compatible battery is like $60 each. They will ship them directly to your door.

You can see the batteries and how they look in stalled here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-831a-troubleshooting.134803/page-4#post-1667559

I just ran across something very similar. A friend called to help them figure out a problem with a power outlet in their home. It showed voltage but nothing plugged into it would run. Came over and tested it with the VOM and sure enough, had voltage across the terminals but as soon as you...

A quick troubleshooting tip that I use is to go through the fusebox with a VOM and check for voltage on both sides of the fuse. It can save you a TON of trouble with that exact problem. It only take a few minutes and eliminates a lot of real estate in one sweep.

You can add me to the list of people what will no longer buy Optima batteries. They went from lasting 5-8 years to lasting 2. No more of that BS for me.

I use a pair of motorcycle batteries in series. A much less expensive solution.

Mind blowinigly impressive.

Which model light is it? Was there any fitment issues?

OK, 1 makes sense with just one cylinder firing. Wanted to make sure you weren't idling the set down. It sounds like you are loosing prime in the line between the injection pump and the injector. Since you say there is no external leak it has to leak back into the cylinder or back into the...

I suggest loading it up progressively with resistive loads to see exactly where it trips. That will be important information. With the 831 load is measured by the inverter. There is no external trip unit like there is on the non-inverter generators. If its tripping out on overload its because...

Couple of things, First - What do you mean by starting speed? Are you saying you close the "throttle" and idle the unit when you shut down? Second - Initial gut feeling based on your description would be an injector issue. One way to test the theory is to swap injector locations and see if...

I would say a likely issue if the true problem is with the AC is the capacitor on the compressor. Those age over time and will cause the start event to take longer and use more energy. If the AC is over 5 years old its not a bad idea to replace it anyway. It can help make the compressor last...

Can you shoot a short video of the gauge panel of the generator when the problem occurs?

I for one will source a product that works reliably regardless of it being mil-spec. Thankfully I'm rarely in a situation that puts me at risk of being shot at so I don't mind saving some $$ for accessible components.
