https://youtu.be/eJ4JXyveyro I assume this is normal but because I stress too much I am going to ask you guys anyway! Performing a maintenance run while it is 90°F and super humid in Michigan today and noticed the oil pressure gauge moving a little without load change. Frequency seems steady...

I would like to hear more from the people who used the kit, looks like a great option and I would like to order soon!!

Thanks for the help guys! It really is a simple job but I was trying to keep it close to how I found it so I end up with the floats very close to the fuel fill tube holder deal. At the moment I cannot picture what the fuel pickup is as I am not out by the unit but if you call the side/radiator...

So I finally found some time to dig into the float issue and I can’t figure out what the proper orientation of the float assembly. I did read the TM and it’s main reference to the orientation of the assembly is “same as when removed”. Any chance someone can post a pic of the float from the...

Yeah I know what he was getting at, but thanks for helping the slow guy!

****! I have been searching the TM’s for over an hour and I can’t find the float switch info!

Awesome, I’ll mess with that tomorrow! Thanks!

Looks like a partial answer to my question, so I should go ahead and take the cover off and loosen the collar?

Funny that you posted this issue, at the moment I am having a similar issue (opposite). The last power outage I had a power surge from the 803 before it ran out of fuel, it did not trip the low fuel light / shutdown. I also felt around in the Tank for the lower float switch and it also seems...

Well the whole "bake a cake" thing would be complicated for me, unless I can talk her into doing that for me! If the 803 was running it may wet stack by the time I figure out how to start the oven!

This was my theory also, one thing that I am sure most would agree on would be loaded vs. no load is good for engine life. I guess the question is if I was going to bed with no air conditioning load, what would be a decent load for the night? maybe 20% or 2000w or so? maybe one 1500w heater...

The whole kit I guess, was thinking 55 gallon drums at first but I did see another post with a picture of a smaller semi tank mounted on the front of the 803 trailer and it looked like a nice setup. I have the 803 off the trailer at the moment and I am going back and fourth on how I want to set...

Again, good info! I will only run the extra heater(s) if I am in a long term outage and for the bi-monthly exercise. 1500w heaters can he had for around $16 each at walmart, makes for an simple/easy way to load the set when needed. Also makes for a nice warm basement which was nice in the ice...

True, I understand that... I guess I was just using the power outage to exercise the unit some. Would I save much fuel at all if I was at say a 10 or 15% load for X amount of hours vs. 50% load? I have not had any time to do a fuel usage study!

As always, good info! Thanks guys! Had a good ice storm this past Sunday morning and lost power for around 13hrs. This was the first actual use of the 803 since purchasing around 8 months ago. Well worth it! I had to run a few space heaters to keep her around 50% load. the girl friend was...

Thanks guys. I figured it was normal but just wanted to make sure. Good tip on how to know if your batteries are weak when it shows constant charge!

Happy 2018!!! I have a 2007 803a that has new batteries and checked with a multimeter, appears to be charging. The gauge also shows discharging on prime\pre-heating, shows charging in initial start-up but shortly after start-up the gauge will show zero. Is this normal? Does the regulator stop...

That’s cheap, just don’t put an oscilloscope on it... it may scare you!

GOOD find! Is it operational? **** autocorrect

That story sounds similar to one a buddy told me....
