Agreed... I'm not overly impressed with them either, but I bought it along with several 802's and an 803 from a private "collector" in PA. I just wanted to try one out and see what they are all about, but now I figure I may as well hang on to it incase I need something small to transport or to...

Yes, Jay Rizzler.... awesome guy and so are his yard guys. They will load anything onto anything without issue. Look for the crushed entrance on the left side of the street if coming in off Philadelphia Ave. Also... super importantly... make sure you are on Rt 433 Sunset Pike, not Sunset St...

Back to the OP's spare parts. One thing I would suggest on your spare AC VR's, if they are used and you have not personally seen then functioning, I would swap them into your machine and give them a good test. There are 3 transistors on them that will quickly fail if the donor machine had any...

The other interesting thing is that this machine has just over 100 original hours on it and someone at some point covered every single electrical connection inside it with clear silicone. Seems like someone already had an inkling that there was a moisture related issue somewhere, they just went...

(y) Gotta say Kurt, you continue to amaze me! Who would have thought.... moisture in pots! I saw your board removal instructions and it sounds like I have a game plan! If I recall correctly, I think this machine had the same issue when I first got it ( had been stored outside at the seller's...

If I recall correctly, wires 1 and 2 don't matter as far as orientation because it it AC voltage coming into the regulator. You may find more info in the charging circuit sticky at the top of the Generator forum.

Interesting, so was it the Fault control panel that you dried out, or just the control box in general? My 831 was running fine ( other than a governor controller issue that Kurt is generously assisting me with ) a couple days ago, but today it starts and 4 seconds later trips the overload...

Thanks for the kind words L.I.T.D !(y) Everyone has been very happy with them.

Hello Everyone, About a year or more ago I began machining a true drop-in fuel filter base to convert the Mep-002 through Mep-005 generators from canister to spin on filters. Since then I have tried several times to locate my own post using the Google search function and have found that due to...

Sounds like you are on your way to success, but if you need anything verified visually, I have the same vintage Hollingsworth 005 here in my yard.... with a likewise goo dripping Thermal Watt converter ( I read Guy's correction ) (y) if You need anything checked out.

What do I see in Picture #8 of post 17? Looks like an aftermarket voltage regulator.

For the alternator, google the Prestolite PN, I got lucky and found a brand new one on ebay for under $100 last year. If not, I bet any decent shop can rebuild it for you.

Also, for your fuel adapters, take a look here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-002a-003a-004a-005a-drop-in-spin-on-fuel-filter-adapter.201506/ I make fuel filter adapters that will bolt right in place of your existing housings with no brackets or adapters needed. Thay are more...

Is that black goo also found up in the control cube, under the voltage regulator? It looks like the potting material that often "Melts" out of the voltage regulator, accumulates in the control cube and then leaks through and drips down below.

many guys seem to use John Deere break in oil, but personally I have always used regular 15-40 Rotella and buy 4oz ZDD Plus additive bottles on-line and add it to the regular Rotella.

Good work! God what I wouldn't give for an 80 hour 803 these days.... a lot more than $750 that's for sure!

Sounds like someone may have owned stocks in the shim company! That's a whole lot of shims to be in one machine. I've never even seen gray shims, are those thicker than the black or somewhere in between the black and the paper thin green ones? Glad to hear that it's running ( and sounding )...

5/16 JIC and -5AN are essentially the same. The 5/16" SAE flare fitting is the "other" fitting you were probably thinking of that is a little bit different. All have the same thread, but JIC and -AN are 37* flares while the SAE flare is 45*. The SAE will probably still seal itself but the flare...

Here in New England I've been told that for the last 3 years or more, HHO is also ULS, just dyed red for no tax.

With regards to the buss bar, the TM shows it on top of the voltage connection board, but there are 2 designs. The newer, more common design has the buss bar riveted to the underside of the board rather than sitting on top. But for now I wouldn't worry about it, that is not causing your problem.
