    Obscure question, MEP-831A

    If it is leaking there, you might want to check really carefully for debris, or a scratch, or any imperfection on both the injector and the injector line and giving the mating surfaces a thorough cleaning before replacing anything. A leak there will also have a significant impact on the ability...

    Obscure question, MEP-831A

    Have you bled the diesel line all the way to the injector? Are you getting no bubbles at the injector? I ask because in the video it looks to me as if there is air swirling around in the bowl of your filter. These engines are fairly intolerant of air in the line from the pump to the injector...

    Generator Libby MEP-003A

    That is probably a smart move. You should also fully drain / inspect / clean the tank (and check the seals on the tank), to make sure that there isn't more water in there, and that there isn't a piece of debris in there that could float over and partially block the intake. It would be time well...

    Obscure question, MEP-831A

    I agree with @kloppk that crank does sound weak. Can you jump this with a strong set of batteries? Just going to ask two dumb questions for when you get the magnet/cranking issues sorted; did you check to make sure that the pin in the pump engaged the fork in the rack (by checking under the...

    mep-803a coolant temperature sender

    FWIW: The gauges are basically the same, except the 101582 has Fahrenheit and Centigrade, while 101586 is just Fahrenheit. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    MEP-802A questions

    There are also Fastenal and McMaster as possible sources; sometimes more expensive, sometimes not. I bought a monster bag of the captive nuts off eBay when a computer rack company shutdown. I bought stainless rivet nuts for a couple of what I thought were awkward locations. I have been shifting...

    I would pull the IP then. It is the more certain option. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Are all the well nuts on the fuel tank the same size?

    Also here https://farmerbobsparts.com/brass-bulkhead-fitting-1-4-fpt-i-d-w-3-4-required-tank-hole-size/ Shipping was a little more reasonable and it comes with washers / o-rings. Easy to replace and the flats on the threaded portion make this version any easy and quick swap. (Thread a wire...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I don't know about your engine, but moving the throttle does not always mean that the pump volume regulator is moving. Have you thought of buying a manual? @Guyfang found a few on the bay site awhile back. Deutz engines are generally self priming. I haven't seen this model in a long time, but...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    +1 on SeaFoam. If you are really concerned, pull the injector and let it sit in carburetor cleaner. Those engines were used all over and are pretty bullet proof in my experience, but I've never dealt with one that had sat for 18 years.

    Or check with the pump guy: thepumpguysc@aol.com Search the web on that address, if you want to read up on him. Lots of folks have gotten injectors and pumps rebuilt by him. He's quite helpful. All the best, @2Pbfeet

    If it comes down to rebuilding, I know someone who has been rebuilding injection pumps for 30 odd years. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    New owner of MEP 802A

    I am of the same view. @heimlich I have a similar kW rated diesel generator without an enclosure, and I would happily trade you for one with an enclosure.;) That said, if you really think that you want to strip it down, I would suggest that selling your 802A , and buying an 1800 or 3600rpm...

    First MEP-803a

    @tarster There is always the possibility that your alternator just needs some new diodes. Not generally all that pricey.

    New to Mep-803A ownership general questions

    While I suspect something is off on your governor or rack, or possibly timing, I do wonder if it would be worth your while to clean your fuel lines downstream of the final filter. Cylinder 1 not firing either means the injector just plugged, or the pump isn't coming up to pressure. Since the...

    First MEP-803a

    One on EBay for about $200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/256437803664 There are other 24V 40A alternators available, but might take some drilling/rewiring. YMMV...

    New to Mep-803A ownership general questions

    Making progress! I agree with @Light in the Dark that I think it is time to pull your injectors and check for function and spray patterns. Two of your cylinders appear not to be igniting. That will cause an under speed that the governor will react to by providing more fuel (too much fuel, in...

    Leaking Secondary Fuel Filter at the bolt

    I agree. You are preaching to the choir on that, and sorry for your problems. What is that a photo of? Don't get me started on hydraulic fitting sizing. I keep a fifteen or sixteen page printout in the shop to help me. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Leaking Secondary Fuel Filter at the bolt

    That is certainly true that the engines aren't straight SAE, but the dash 202s seem to fit the final filter bolt on mine. Like @777Jackpot's experience, the o-rings that were supplied with the filters that I purchased did not include o-rings for the bolt. None of my metric o-rings seemed to...
