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

    Yes thats the point. The slug seizes up, when the pump is disassembled (except the slug) compressed air in the output can be used to dislodge the slug if a solvent and tapping doesnt work. I have only had a pump badly gummed up once to need to blow it apart.

    Knocker loose works wonders. Also compressed air through the outlet can pop it loose

    MISSING MEP-003A FUEL PUMP

    It's a great feature, but comes with the downside that the less observant wouldn't notice only 1 operating pump.

    MISSING MEP-003A FUEL PUMP

    Id say very reliable. I personally have yet to come across one that is a total loss, every inoperable pump I have had my hands on I have been able to clean out and restore to working order.

    MISSING MEP-003A FUEL PUMP

    I use VP fuel jugs and made a custom adapter and pickup tube for the aux fuel.

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

    What I've done in the past when I've had a unknown gummed up blockage somewhere is take fittings apart in certain spots and judge fuel flow based off of how fast the pump is clicking. I usually go for prefilter post filter and at the injection pump. If you look at the fuel line right where...

    MISSING MEP-003A FUEL PUMP

    I just used the aux fuel for a hurricane, it made it a lot easier not having to get in the trailer to refuel

    its normally open and pressure closes it, the TM is testing a failed closed situation, your possible failure is a failing open. Jumping it takes it out of the equation.

    I personally would never withhold information, I also tend to answer short and simple because i tend to ramble and get really boring. The convenience outlet is wired before the main breaker, so the main breaker wont shutoff anything plugged in there. Its own breaker is fairly low rated (IIRC...

    The courtesy outlet isn't made for heavy loads. If it were me I'd wire in a 120 outlet to the panel

    MISSING MEP-003A FUEL PUMP

    Yes you can run with 1 pump. There should be 3 total. 2 in the prime run circuit and the last (with solenoid) on the aux fuel circuit

    Can you send a video? do you have both pumps clicking? Do you run any fuel additives? my gut feeling is something has gotten gummed up.

    The breaker on the generator is designed to protect the generator. I am not completely sold personally on the how effective that particular breaker is (too many mixed results). Also you dont have to go too oversized in the feeder.

    thats what breakers are for, to protect the wire. the panel main would protect the wire from the set to the panel

    What I would do is set the panel up for the largest load.
