Thanks for the picture Guyfang! Since my last post, I have removed 6 fuel pumps from 2 of my MEP003a gensets and successfully cleaned them. When connected to 24 volts, the primary pump from each genset would not operate, which obviously was the reason the gensets would not start. When I opened...
Didn't realize the 3 pumps on mep003a were not all the same P/n. Can these pumps be disassembled, cleaned and be expected to work again. I'm not hearing the fast clicking and it will not start. Thx for any info on these pumps.
Thanks for this forum. Question about the fuel pumps on MEP003A's: I have 3 of these gensets and finally got all 3 running. However, after setting for a few months none of the 3 will start. After checking everything I have concluded that the problems may be the fuel pumps. When I try to start...
Received a #15 button, installed it, did the flow check and the timing was perfect. Reassembled everything and surprise, surprise, it cranked right right up and has been running great ever since. The .006 inch increase in button thickness from a #13 to a #15 made all the difference. Never would...
Removing injectors from mep003a
Thanks Jamawieb, you are always bailing me out. I finally got two of them out with lots of heat and I made a tube wrench from a 11 mm box wrench by cutting out a section of the box end to fit around the tube. Worked fair but still slipped. The other two are...
Trying to remove injectors from my mep003a generators. Having trouble loosening B-nuts on return fuel lines to the injectors. B-nuts are rusted and cannot be loosened. Tried heat but I'm just rounding off the flats on the tube B-nuts. No room to use vice grip pliers. Any suggestions out there...
Thanks for the response Mr Jamawieb, You are such a patient, helpful person teaching me how to install this pump. I did the flow test as you described and I think I got some good info this time. The flow stopped at 1 1/4 TDC marks below PC. Or .200+.050 inches below PC which indicates late...
OK....question: my pump that I'm trying to install has a no. 12 stamped on its flange. If I use a no. 13 button and install it on PC and with a 1/8 rod in the flange hole, it should at least crank up, right? I only have one button.
Thanks for the response Jamaweib. I did as you said and found A on the flywheel. Is this the flywheel position where I mount the pump? I had thought the cam lobe had to be pointing down 45 degrees when mounting the pump but I was probably wrong. I will try it again.
Thanks

Thanks for your assistance. I'm trying to understand what you are saying. Injectors leaking diesel fuel into the cylinders while the engine is not running? And the diesel fuel leaking past the piston rings into the crankcase which raises the oil level in the crankcase, which I should notice on...
