    Another MEP 006a/105a love hate relationship!

    I have used aftermarket on a 004 and 005. A 006 shouldnt be too difficult. Can you clarify your comment on 2 of 3 legs? if you have excitation the whole head should be putting out power.

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    The reason we used it was due to the quick drying. we were able to find hydraulic leaks faster with it. Its less effective on weeping low pressure leaks but still useful.

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    If it were me, I would check clearences, then pull injectors for testing (while they are out compression test). unless i absolutely need to, i tend to leave the IP in place as they are a pita and the timing procedure is annoying

    Beginning of vid c. The linkage moves up then the engine stalls. Up is more throttle, it's odd that it moves up before is sounds like an stall.

    Id also look at current draw, and coil resistance (both idle and after stalling)

    Need access for the videos, but quickly just off the top of my head is your stopping pumping at pressure just clicking really slow?

    If you had a good ground the pump should run when connected and in prime\run. Unless you have the wrong pump lead connected

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    Might be worth checking feed through. the pumps were designed to allow 1 to fail and still deliver fuel. There is a similar model that doesnt allow this and a bad pump will stall the engine.

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    I found these specs on line for the fuel pump. Maximum fuel delivery 33 gallons per hour at free flow. Maximum pressure 6 to 8 psi. Typical flow 15 gph @ 2 psi. 1/4 NPT male fittings. Features a built-in EMI filter to minimize radio interference. This pump includes an internal 74 micron...
