Ok got the testing done tonight - 3hrs at or above 12.3kw Started out running a little rough and smokey. Thought about shutting it off but wanted to give it a chance to warm up and hopefully clear up while I drove down the street to get enough diesel to fill the tank. By the time I got back it...

Update on progress with this 803a - MOV installed over the weekend. Also did some testing on a stove I picked up very cheap . With the oven door open and burners maxed out it was pulling 12.3kw and generator holding steady. 2 box fans blowing on the stove to help from overheating. Ran it for a...

Appreciate the info, I reviewed the wiring diagram and figured it out . Replaced the bulbs with 24v LEDs since only one bulb was functional. Also hooked up the gauge lights because they were there and I was already doing a bunch of wiring. Finished up the circuit breakers and outlets last...

Making progress with parts slowly trickling in over the past week. Still waiting on the pack of MOV's and a few more pieces to complete the planned upgrades. See pictures below. Got the Quad fuse in today and a quick test run shows everything still working as before. I went a different route...

Sounds good, I will review that info and see what I can come up with. Thanks again everyone.

Got it. Not running it anymore until I get MOV and Quad fuse done. Ordering today. Forgot to mention I put an elbow on the exhaust for some protection there. I will get a flap ordered as well.

Sounds good on the oil pressure and temp. Also checked it with a temp gun and got a similar reading, my gauge reads higher though. The metal grates I took off to get a better look at things. One side was bent up and the other broken so I'll probably just leave them off. Including some more...

I remember seeing something about this mod at some point, thank you for the reminder. Plan to do this in the near future

Been looking for a little while and reading up here. Seemed simple enough. Got kind of a beater at auction. It's a 2008 Fermont with 3500 hours on the meter. Began to feel a little overwhelmed once I got the thing home. Started with the basic stuff - changing oil, adding coolant and new coolant...
