    Never seen a thread, but that is totally possible. You really need to understand the controls system, but the engine and genhead are very simple at their core. If I was going that far, I would replace all the switches and relays with simplier digital controls, hardwire the genhead for...

    Backfeeding a panel without a proper interlock is very illegal because one error and a lineman can be killed.

    These guys are cheap load banks. Some models have a 3k/4k/5k load select switch https://www.northerntool.com/products/lifeplus-ceiling-mount-garage-heater-17-065-btu-240-volt-model-ifh12a-50-107043

    Lol, I don't know why the lines are so terrible, but they are. I have 1994, 2007, 2009 and 2010 units. The '94 has mostly OEM fuel lines. The newest ones have the worst lines. The 803a was decomissioned for IP feedlines leaks. These were low hour units and the feedlines were falling apart...

    Also make sure the unit has the quad-fuse and MOV mods before firing it up. Here is a link for replacing the well nut on the fuel tank drain. They are notorious for cracking and leaking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N3467JZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
