    M1008 throttle issue

    I removed both high idle spades and the rpm went down a bit. Then i discovered the top vacuum hose had a tear. Tommorow im going to replace all the hoses and see. Btw, i replaced the throttle spring with another thats tighter and it did solve the high idle issue but the pedal is hard and will...

    M1008 throttle issue

    Im in the heat all year so i disconnected the high idle solenoid and pulled back the shaft. I adjusted the throttle screw but no change. Its just an ⅛ of a pull to get her into the correct idle. Im gonna try another spring if not search for another throttle cable.

    M1008 throttle issue

    Howdy. Just installed by freshly rebuilt pump but the she is running a bit high on rpm. I can manually put the finger on the throttle lever and she will go down to the correct idle speed. I ruled out the pump weights since she spring back into position. I oiled my throttle cable and the...

    Cucv negative vacuum pressure

    Howdy. Just noticed my vacuum lines and they are flat as if the negative pressure is collapsing them. Could it be a bad pump or bad hoses. Those hoses were there when I got my m1008 but im gonna swap them just in case. Any suggestions on what hoses to use?

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Here in PR the local consumer protection agency regulates the profit margin on fuel and has stations posting fuel delivery dates. This causes up and down pricing based on when the gas station got its fuel in relation to market prices. Its an anti gouging measure.

    MEP-804A and others Voltage Regulator Problems, how come?

    Check the magnetic pickup under the starter. Voltage should be from 2.3vac to 3vac. The tip is either ground off or full of metal scrapes. Sometimes its just a bad terminal. I use a broom stick to turn over the dead crank while looking at the voltmeter and slowly turning the mag pickup. Review...

    So I turboed an Mep 803a

    Howdy folks. This is just a joke since I saw one of those old electric car turbo ads and got some inspiration. I must report that there were no noticeable performance improvements. Hope you all enjoy your memorial day weekend. 🍻

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    You can also use your car as a backup house "generator" in case of an outtage. Screw that, i will stick to my diesel genny that gives me power and can charge any future EV i might reluctantly buy.

    MEP-803A Hole Drilled in Fuel Tank from GovPlanet

    They really did you in with the hole so low. I got one with a drill hole once but was high enough for this type of plug. https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-65240-AutoGrade-Drain-Plug/dp/B000COBBSO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=65240&qid=1653670500&sr=8-1

    Mep 803a dropping loads

    Yes, no parts were replaced. Contact cleaner and the excersizing of the switches did the trick.

    Mep 803a dropping loads

    OK, after loadbanking her for a while, she would not trip easily. I could take her to 16kw and after a few mins she would drop the load but no overload light would come on. So its probably a bad fault panel. Im gonna leave it as is since it does it job of dropping the load just not turning on...

    Mep 803a dropping loads

    And with care. These switches have a plastic shaft that yoy can easily shear off if they are stuck.
