Hey guys. Im looking for a thermostat for my mep 005a. Looking for the robertshaw 330-180 but its not available. Anyone know where to find it or a replacement? Thanks
Hey guys. Just got a Mep 005a but its missing the speed switch. Looking through the forums i found what i believe I need (unless there are different versions that change depending on unit serial number). Part number is 36024-LDW-72-2203-1 . Thanks
Ok, the injectors on the mep 802/803 units should crack between 3500 and 3700 psi if I remember correctly. Check that the jets are shooting diesel out of all pin holes. A cheap unit like this can help.

Looks like you are in luck. Check injectors for spray pattern and if they check out you should be good to go. Make sure cylinders are not full of oil before you put them back in and crank the unit.
Dont tear it down yet. Pull off all fuel injectors and fill the pistons with atf or mystery oil for a few days and see if it that loosens up the pistons till you can turn over by hand.
