    Here in pa the law is you are allowed to ride in the back of a pu but can not go over 30 miles per hour. My nieces kid is a cop and we were just talking about it the other day. As many as can fit too.

    Mep 803a stopping question

    What happens when you turn these machines off? I have one that keeps running. Is the selinoid switch the off switch connected to the injector pump? I know the fuel pump shuts off but i think the ip sucks fuel right through the fuel pump once its running. Thanks in advance.

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    Thanks for everything so far. I think I will read up on setting the linkage. its something that doesn't cost anything and it needs to be done, while I try and figure out what I did with the u shaped glass tube I have somewhere. I want to check compression I just don't have he 7/16-20 fitting I...

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    I read it but not having done it or see somebody else do it its confusing. When the pointer on the flywheel is lined up is that top dead center on cylinder no 1? It shows in the manual to put a 1/4" wire into the slot and turn the cam on the back of the pump till the wire drops in (like the...

    in the longer video (0523) I didn't have the throttle cable pulled out. somebody replaced it and it idles very low. start the video from the 30 second mark and you will see it fire up and run strong.

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    I cant find a good fitting to make a compression tester. Looks like i will make one from a old glow plug. 7/16-20 is not very common. They make hydraulic fittings and brake fittings but none of them have long threads to go into the block to engage the threads. I have a video of the machine...

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THREAD THE GLOW PLUGS ARE? I figured they would be 1/4" or 3/8" pipe thread. I was wrong. I could cut up a old glow plug and weld it but its easier if I can just get a fitting and adapt from there.
