Everyone is correct.... you have the correct 12V plugs that you need. If you look at how they are wired you will notice that you need 12V glow plugs not 24V. They are wired in series, in other words 2 in series for an 802 and 2 sets of series pairs for an 803.

Pretty much any parts store, Auto Zone, Oriley's , NAPA , Advance Auto etc.will have either Duplicolor or some brand of self etching primer. You can even get the rust Oleum one shown above at Harbor Freight. Same with the scuff pads, they are everywhere, mostly made by 3M and Scotch ( ie...

Yes, with the IP in place, rubber fuel line attached and injector line disconnected or loose ( loose may help induce more of a spray than a dribble with no line attached ) you should get a very small spurt of fuel out of each IP. However.... 2 things. Don't use the dead crank switch, that won't...

So, which float assembly went bad, the sender for the gage or the zig zag 2 float sender for the fault lights and aux. pump? Sounds like the one for the gage, but unplugging that one has nothing to do with fault lights. As a replacement, refer to the posts that Zed254 lists and get yourself an 8...

I think you will be fine with an Mep-803A 10Kw. The biggest load you have is probably your hot water heater, assuming its a larger 40-50gl. 240V unit. All the other stuff is not a big deal. I have customers who have bought 5Kw's and run all the other stuff including well pumps, multiple AC...

Interesting, thought for sure you would have found a stuck metering pump. The pump drives off a cam follower and a little inverted cup. While the pump is out I would put something down the hole and sit it in the cup. Crank the motor by hand or with the dead crank switch and verify you have...

I know there are a lot of electrical / electronics experts that will soon chime in with a detailed explanation, but for starters are you familiar with the rotor design on these generators? I think seeing what the actual rotor and stator looks like will go a long way toward understanding how the...

I'm thinking you have an issue with cyl.3. The 15* temp difference is excessive, not to mention that the heat is very much transmitted just through the steel itself, meaning that you could have a totally DEAD cylinder and the temp difference won't be night and day with a working cylinder, if you...

Yes, that's an M50 which is still supported by Ambac. I called them a few months ago and they said the PSU pump is not supported ( other than the parts that are common with the M50. Unfortunately the plunger, drive gear etc. are slightly different. I ended up buying 2 M50 pump cores from a...

I agree with everyone above. Start by running if for a while with seafoam, ATF or other cleaner in the fuel, and gradually stepping up the load every 20 minutes or so until you get as high as you can go without it struggling bogging and smoking. Then remove the load, set frequency to 61.5 and...

2 other thing to check are: is the little G-17 strainer on the fuel pump. If you're using the same one ( assuming you still have one in place ) with both pumps you tested, make sure it's not clogged up. Also, check your oil pressure and make sure it isn't abnormally high. If this does not turn...

Good work! give it a little extra testing just to be sure, but you're probably good now. They usually show signs of leaking pretty quickly when there's a problem.

Tell us more...

A quick note before you pull the injectors. If you'd like, disconnect the fuel shut off solenoid linkage at the black knob. then using your hand, twist the shutoff lever left and right through it's range of motion. You should feel very little resistance for a bit then feel a noticeable increase...

If there was any debris at all in the holes, the copper washers may not seal good. A quick fix I have found is to tighten the clamps, then take a hammer and a punch and give each injector a few good taps where the clamps contact the injectors to help "seat" the washers, if there was garbage...

Yes, 1ea. is plenty. Using good quality fuel means filters last a long time. Most folks use 2 different micron rated filters, it's not really a strainer, more of a coarse filter and fine filter. Your 1 pump will be fine. The normal dual pump setup is for redundance, it doesn't really increase...

I have used the E8135 to replace the round E1074 and like you said, it's a tight stretch. I believe I ended up flipping the inlet and outlet upside down and using a couple other angle fittings to make it happen. It definitely is not a drop in, but can easily be engineered with a few extra...

Good work Kurt! I think you will soon be getting very busy, 802/803 replacement VR's have been a hot topic lately!

Looks like your video did not get posted, I just see an empty post with no attachment. As for the governor, it has to be serviced. It's a series of weights and springs inside the timing cover, near the throttle linkages. You'll need to pull the timing cover and crank pulley to get in there, but...

You are correct, don't ever hook up to you house until the machine is fully tested, repaired and you know it's working correctly and reliably. Use something else to test with like heat guns, an old oven, portable heaters etc.
