Good Information. Thanks a bunch. Better than just looking at am old TM. LOL I will get this done and update. :)

In an emergency situation, the BATTLE SHORT switch (S7) can be activated to allow generator set operation under certain fault conditions. Placing the switch (located on the control panel) in the ON position bypasses all faults except the overload short circuit condition. The BATTLE SHORT...

Well this thing it still running pretty well. The only thing that is annoying is that when it's humid out here in Florida and I head up to property in the morning the inverter is wet and it wants to shut down do to overload/short circuit. I usually Just open the door to switch from 240/120 and...

I am not an expert on these things, but when I was having starter issues. I ended finding a bad K2 relay/contactor. Is yours making a clunking noise when trying to start? Try jumping it out to see if it will crank. Not sure if you saw my thread but here it is when I was having starter issues...

Have not been on here in a while... But the 831a and 802a are still running great. A short video of a load test on the 831a. I try to do this once a month. I have a 240 VAC 3kw/6kw shop heater I found used. Great load bank for the 802a. https://youtu.be/jkBVRIx1fjw

I bought this 3 to 6 kw 240VAC heater to load test my 802a. Works great and will keep your hands warm. Paid $40 found it on the local CL.

Well after troubleshooting and testing the 831a it's finally in place at our cabin in the woods. Wife and I leveled some blocks and glued them together with construction adhesive it's solid as a rock and wow what a difference in sound levels when it's not running on a trailer. This is up at...

Would be an interesting mod for sure... I guess this is it? https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200395477_200395477

Added some Hardware Cloth today to keep the rodents out still need to cover up the holes on the bottom.

While I was out playing with the 831a I got out my Decibel Meter that I use for testing noise levels from suppressed subsonic rounds. I was probably 20 to 25 feet away and the genset was running at a 3kw load. The lid was not completely closed due to me having the batteries on the outside of...

Ok I finally got back home I was gone for work for a while in West Africa. So I had a rat problem while I was gone. Wife and I own 21 acres about ten miles north of us I use to mainly shoot on and I left the generator up there on the trailer under the car port wrapped up with a tarp. Well one...

I will give that a try next time I play with the gen Set. Thanks...

Yea I figured the TVS Diode is good just had to bring it up. Here is the video. Not sure if this site will let me post links yet will see??? I used my meter on DC Amps so at least this circuit I am jumping is fused and protected through the meter and I can also watch how many amps are being...

Nope no Faults. Only fault is Oil Pressure when I pull start but I clear it. I think That is normal when pull starting the 831a I also know the low fuel light and system works. I was playing with it the other day and did not put much diesel in it. LOL Also I don't think the TVS Diode would...

Picked up an 831a and a 802a. The 802a works great except the fuel gauge and pops CB1 if I leave it in Prime & AUX to long but that's another day of playing around. So back to the 831a. It was freight shipped so no oil and fuel. Had to break open the high pressure line at the injector and jump...

LOL I don't worry about that. Yes all inert and legal to own. I have restored alot of it myself. If they wanted me they would have come a long time ago. All the Class 3 NFA stuff I own they know who I am... .

Yea would love to have one. I drove a deuce in Saudi during the Gulf War. I was alot younger then too... I have a very extensive Military Munitions collection. I am really into collecting that type of stuff. If I can post pics pics yet here is a small sample.

New to this site and love learning new stuff. I joined because I will be getting a few gensets such as the 831a and 802a. Maybe an 803a 10kw but really don't need that much power. One for the cabin and one for the house. I would like to leave the small one up at our property for backup power I...
