For my own sanity.... not being very electrically inclined, IF ( as described in post #11 ) Valence had no 240V loads and decided that he wanted full rated output from his 803A and put it into 120V only mode, with all the load on L3, wouldn't he have 104A on L3 and not 52A? I assume you mean...

Yes, the Fram C1125Pl and CH6PL are exact fit with the correct gaskets. As for filter adapters you may want to look at my drop in spin on filter kit. I had them in the classifieds a long time ago, but never kept it updated. but check here...

If you can't find anyone local, we should be able to get you fixed up by discussing it here. I remember your previous post, but was a little confused as to what you had for a sender and gage and what exactly you found when you tested it out of the tank. Maybe we can revisit your posts and get...

That's the aluminum trailer, very nice trailers. You can probably sell the trailer for $1000 or so. I've sold several sets of tires for $500 a pair, then put smaller 8 on 6.5" lug wheels on the trailers to lower the pintle and sold the trailer for $800 - $1000 extra when selling a generator on it.

Not sure what you have for a hone, but I have used this successfully. Lisle 15000 micrometer head cylinder hone...

Yea! $750 is probably way less than many guys are paying just in auction Fees lately! Between buyers fees, credit card fees.... taxes.... shipping....

Does that 803 also have non-standard auxiliary wiring going to the gages and is your data plug sitting inside the control box wrapped in bubble wrap, with a remote monitoring plug in place of the data port? If so, I don't think you can operate the machine without the "Jumper" cap screwed into...

Only other thing I could imagine is if the generator was not assembled correctly originally, like if the endcap and stator or stator and bellhousing weren't interlocked correctly ( where you have the lip that centers the stator ) causing everything to sit crooked ?

Gettin' it!

If the bearing is BAD you will know right away. If you don't feel any movement between the rod and crank then the bearing is not the cause of your compression issue, but it can still be worn, just not destroyed! When the machine shop pulls it apart to hone the cylinder they will be able to...

Looks like the subsequent posts have you moving in the right direction. I'll throw Uniquify's post into this thread too.... for future searchers to find metering pump pictures more easily! https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-803a-motor-locking-up-at-0-and-180deg.192351/page-2#post-2259257

Ha! I'm late because I was tied up working.... ;) Anyway, I'm better with the 002/003 pumps than 802/803 but from what I recall you take the top nut off ( the one under the line nut ) and the guts are mostly accessible through the top. The clip on the bottom "unhooks" off the plunger ( spring...

This is just a guess, but when I first started working on the 802/803's I didn't realize that barb was a restrictor ( and this one was plugged ) so I stuck a drill bit in there and drilled it out, then realized I had drilled out brass and not garbage. I used a small bit, probably 1/16" and it...

The VR is easily replaced, If you can find one available, but its not serviceable in itself. Sometimes if you search around you can find reasonably priced new ones, but search by the Prestolite PN's not MEP-80X alternator. Also try Prestolite 24V alternator and Leece Neville 24V alternator. If...

Although at this point it sounds like you will soon have the piston removed, so you will know shortly if you have a bad bearing. I'm still not convinced your rings and the cylinder walls are the whole problem. If it was the grooves I would expect air leakage all the time, not just at the bottom...

Did you ever get a chance to check for a spun rod bearing? It's pretty simple now that the head is off. just put it at TDC, go a tad beyond TDC but not enough to begin pulling the piston down, then push on the piston with your hand a see if it moves a little bit. Or get it at TDC and rock the...

I'm in the same boat as DieselAddict, I used to buy and sell lots of these, but when the prices got to be more at auction than I sell them for retail, I backed out. I have the nicest of each model ( 831, 002, 003, 802 and 803 ) most with single and double digit hours, that I purchased very...

I would not be surprised at all if your alternator ( more likely the regulator mounted on the back of the alternator ) is dead. If the fuse is good and everything is hooked up correctly, my next step would be to test the alternator, then once that is verified, then proceed to the ammeter, if the...

Agreed... I have used the same tank and it worked fine. A little rerouting of the hoses, but fits into he holder perfectly, 2 long zip ties and DONE! The original tank can be repaired using Permatex's plastic tank epoxy available at pretty much every auto parts store in the same section as the...

So it sounds like you are using a different gage than the standard for an 803? Standard 802 / 803 gages need a 240-33 ohm sender.
