I have a similar setup. I hardwired 4ga out to my generator shed roof post. 803 and 831 both sit under there. Which one get plugged into the box is determined by my power needs. 803 is mostly needed to run AC. 831 will run my well if not much else is going.

The way this thing vibrates I'm surprised not more stuff came loose. Hz changed even with it locked down. With it sitting in a limestone driveway I feel it running in about a 5 foot circle around it.

Now why didn't I think of measuring the voltage at the back of the meter?? It went down to zero when shut off. Maybe the vibration in this thing knocked something loose. Spinning the rotor sounds like a complete PITA. But that will need to be done to attempt to make this unit right. I haven't...

Ok that is exactly what I needed to know. I have been looking for something like the gauges, but I use a MEP 831 for outages that require only a little power. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that would be considered inverter tech and would not work with these gauges

The gauges are exactly what I was curious about. The description lists them as 50 Hz meters though. They work ok and match hand held meter?

I have one extra gauge on a parts unit. I don't want to install it and fry it as well though. Freak thing? Chance of frying a new one? I could see if something arced inside and killed it completely. Is there something inside that would let go and show half voltage? I guess I will be tearing that...

Just saw it out of the corner of my eye. I was watching load as I flipped breaker to load the unit. I think it was from the gauge but not 100% sure. I had it running with just a halogen light on it a week and a half ago and it worked fine then.

I was looking that up at the shop this afternoon but ran out of time to actually do anything with it. I can't figure out why someone monkeyed with it so badly, and how it runs in spec with it being so far off.

Ok I guess I'm not clear on how to attach a video! It does work if you open it though

Ok I had some time this morning to work on the unit. I let it warm up and checked temps on head. It was only 45 degrees here so my temps were 184-186. I had the cylinder close to the fan down about 5 degrees. I turned the pump clockwise a little and the temps all seem to be pretty even. It pulls...

What breaker switch are you using that has volt, amp, and kw gauges on it?

Sounds like you have a unit from Tobyhanna. I've had several with those modifications on them. Someone else might have an idea on why that fuse blows. I just know from experience the modifications you are talking about. It is all easy enough to remove and put back to stock if you want to

I added them on with a bunch of filters I ordered so I didn't pay high shipping on them.

It was 82 here on Friday and snow flurries today

Will do! It could be a couple weeks before I can work on it again.

I have had several that had bad bolt to bowl gasket bad. I think the JP8 must eat them up. I've opened a couple that only had the bolt to bowl seal on the bottom and not one inside at all.

I think the gasket pack from Rock Auto was like $1.75 or so. I haven't cared for Fram filters personally ever since their oil filters were killing engines. Many years ago that was all I used.

Ok that helps. Taking the temps from there do you notice a big difference if a pump isn't set right?
