I've had several units with the nut under the brass flange nut. I think they did that to make sure the brass flange nut doesn't unscrew.

You should but to be honest, I usually reuse the old washers because they get stuck in the hole and I can't get them out easily.

There is a guy on the e sale site selling new breakers for $25 I think his id is 9220hover. I've bought a couple just to keep on hand.

I was thinking that in the beginning but he mentioned it stays in the red so it has to be the DC amperage gauge for the batteries.

It will be fine. I've got several sitting on the shelf after being removed and everything is fine.

Sometimes when I have low batteries, I use 2 lawnmower batteries and connect them in series. Then use jumper cables to jump the batteries on the generator. Of course this wont work if the batteries are totally dead. I've ran my generator in freezing rain, 60mph rain, snow, ice, etc and I've...

There is someone on the big auction site that has a brand new CTV1 for $212 or best offer.

Macondo, their is someone on ebay selling new injectors for $103. look under mep-002a injectors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Onan-Yanmar-147-136-Fuel-Injection-Nozzle-2910008695668-MEP-002A-MEP-003A-/221529703199?hash=item339433031f:g:zAUAAOSwys5WWGK8

If it's making power while in the start position, the problem most likely will be found in the distribution box. Their is a control board inside (I believe it's A2 or A3)that is mounted on the backside of the distribution box. There are several capacitors on the board that maybe the problem.

After you get your valves timed correctly, if it still smokes bad, it's going to be your injectors. I think you have an injector leaking into the cylinder and its not able to burn off all the fuel. I've had some generators smoke just like that and after I had the injectors rebuilt, it ran...

Most of the 802a and 803a's I deal with do not smoke that much. I currently have a 802a that I'm working on, that smokes lightly at start-up and does not run as smooth as others I've bought. It doesn't have a smooth sound, sounds like a small miss, so I'm going to change out the injectors next...

You need to make sure you're on the compression stroke of the piston travel for cylinder 1. Take the valve cover off and turn the motor over with a 5/8 wrench on the blower, then watch the valve that is closet to the blower (this is the intake valve on cylinder 1). Then rotate the motor till...

The alternator is upside down, there should be some clearance between the alternator and starter. After you flip it over, it will sit higher and be out of the way.

Wanted to let you know that I worked on my 803a that was having the overload fault reading and problems with the percent load gauge. I took the top cover off and sprayed the phase selector with electronic cleaner and wd-40 (moves freely now). After working the phase selector about 20-25 times, I...

I have the same issue with a 803a, drops load at 34 amps and my load meter is only reading 20%. That project is on the back burner right now since I have 003a with issues that I need to get resolved first. One thing on the 003a, the load meter was not working correctly and I sprayed the phase...

Its about 45 seconds before it trips. Do the burden resistors correlate to the problem I'm having with the percent load gauge?

Just got in a nice 803a and was load testing the unit. As I was increasing the load, the percent load gauge barely moved and after approximately 60 seconds the interrupter tripped and the overload indicator lite up. The amperage on both legs were 43 amps and the percent load gauge was reading...

It looks like you got a great price on it. I would change the oil in it as soon as possible because from the looks of the paint on the oil filter, it still has the original oil filter oil in it. When they remanufacture the motors, they put the oil filter on and then paint the motor. If that's...

I've had a couple of military modified units, where they relocated the oil gauge right under the control panel next to the throttle (a logical place).

At first start up, it really sounds like you have an injector pouring fuel into the cylinder. That would cause the smoke and account for the loud banging you hear the first 30 seconds. But since you've lost oil, I would check the valve clearance and then just run it with a load to see if it goes...
