ZeusDiesel Update: Yesterday, I disconnected the injector drain line from the fuel tank and put the end in a bucket. Turned on the primer pump and observed the outflow. While it was running I rotated the crankshaft by hand and also cranked the starter a few times. I was getting some decent size...

ZeusDiesel is in the room. I was committed to volunteering at the local library for United Way, big landscaping project. Sorry for the late response. The check valve is configured correctly. As mentioned a little while ago, when I pulled the injectors to send to Jerry, I noticed a pin...

Gentlemen: Good morning! My bride joined me at the Generator (date night) last nite and she directed us through Jerry's thought process: *she ran the primer, lit up the glow plugs for 60 seconds,cranked it while I observed, solenoid works fine, free movement, no drop, stays open with and...

Jerry: Sorry for the flummoxing!! yes, I have heard fuel dripping back from the tank return, I cracked the lines @ all four injectors in sequence, (I smelled like diesel while making the meatloaf for dinner) . Haven't wrenched the IP, and it was a normal shut down. I checked the filter for...

Thanks. Would a shot of ether accomplish the same as a "rag of gas". Also, if I pull the injectors, what replacement parts am I going to need? Seals, etc. Want to make sure I have them on hand. ZeusDiesel

Since last we spoke, I have load tested the batteries(good), re-primed the HP lines(no air, no leaks), glow plugs are glowing well,transfer pump is strong, the fuel shut-off solenoid is strong and moving freely, the only thing not working now that was before is the battery indicator (since I...

Everyone: Thanks for your inputs. I have checked the IP again, and am getting fuel to the injectors. The transfer pump has good flow to the IP. As mentioned in the beginning, when I exercised the Gen 1 month ago, everything ran fine, I shut it off and all seemed good. Since, when I crank it, no...

Munchies: Thanks for the info. Have to find a brass punch in that size, bout a 5/64ths. Nobody local seems to have one, will check Asheville Monday and online. ZeusDiesel

Harley and JimC: I have just double-checked the shut off solenoid and its operation and everything seems to be moving freely. Been raining here a lot so its been hard to get to this, but sure do appreciate your input. I'll be looking thru the disassembly/assembly pages on the IP to try out JBK's...

Jacobsk: Thanks for the heads up. I posted it in the Auxillary Equip. Forum. ZeusDiesel

I have a MEP003A purchased from GL couple years ago. Set-up as home backup Gen. I exercise it bout once a month for an hour at full load. No problems for 2 years. Tried to start it 4 days ago, it cranks but no smoke, nothing. Voltage is good (batteries rated 650CA), tank is full, plenty of air...
