A hit list of things to watch out for would benefit the community greatly seeing that the supply of 002s and 003s has transitioned from fixed to diminishing. The 8xx models are the future whether we like it or not. ;)
With luck many of the improvements that have been realized are in the one I...
I reluctantly sold my 003 to a farmer near me a couple of weeks ago. He really wanted it. I probably shouldn't have done it. I have my fingers crossed the 803 works out ok. It is a lot quieter which is a benefit here. Time will tell!
Most ovens are about 2500-3500w. Dryers are about 3500-4500w. Water heaters depending on its size and if its a rapid recovery will be 2500-5500w.
Ahead of your test you can turn off the breaker to your water heater so you know there will be some cold water in there to heat. Depending on how...
Yes you can lift it down the narrow side as long as the forks go all the way across.
They loaded a 802 into my truck that way on one of my pickups. They had really long forks on the forklift.

If you remove the hose also check the nipples for corrosion.
If you open the top hatch covering the air cleaner you should be able to see it along the right side down low. It may take a flashlight to get enough light down there to find it.
Does anyone have a source of the push to test LED indicators found on the newer generators? I need both a green and an amber one to replace some missing ones.
Not indefinitely but it could last several years if conditioned properly. I would hope they have some type of maintenance runs that can give cause to bring in fresh fuel from time to time.
On our large diesel machines we would have a company come in every few years and run a camera around the...
I wouldn't run it very much without a load. I would spend the time to go over everything you can to make sure its mechanically OK. The advice about checking the valves is very good.
Do you have a copy of the manual that has the mechanical details?
Wow, that was a lot of smoke.
You need to find out how much load it will pull. Run it as hard as you can for 30 minutes then shut down and check the oil. Repeat as many times as you can and lets hope the oil consumption goes down.
