Must have gotten paid by the word.

I had the same symptom with an 002a recently. It would respond very slowly to throttle cable inputs and would "wander" well past any throttle adjustments. Also with the throttle pushed all the way in, it would slowly increase speed almost to the point where I was concerned about run-away. The...

I'm OK with vinyl. I'm still in.

Thanks, I'm glad it cooperated. I'm going to have to re-do my checks and confirm the internal condition of this engine tomorrow.

OK, I swapped the pump and she fired right up. I have it running with about 30% indicated load, I figure I'll let it run a while and then check compression and leak-down numbers. Ed

Thanks Jerry. I was thinking of just swapping the entire pump for now just to see if the this unit runs. Depending of the carnage I find in the one with the blow-by, I'm sure I'll be needing a few things for it. Ed

I won two MEP-002a's at Fort Meade a few weeks ago and have been working on them a little. The first one I got running has very bad blow-by and the other one wouldn't run due to a stuck injection pump. I pulled the stuck pump apart and found this: Lots of shrapnel, and did not have...

That certainly makes short work of that task. Sweet.

Great job you have done on this machine it looks awesome, I'm glad the blow-by is not an issue. I've got two -002a's I'm working on right now, one only holds 62psi out of 100psi on a differential comp. check on its #1 cylinder and the other has a stuck plunger in its injection pump, so these...

I know this thread is old, but I'm also in Marshall.
