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

    Knocker loose for sure Timing, yes and no. Button, shouldn't have to, pc mark yes. Be sure you are on compression of cyl 1 of you rely just on the PC mark you have a 50% chance (Murphy says 100%) you'll end up 180 out If you are sending the injectors out remove them and send them...

    Something is open. Since the reconnecting board is where the head gets terminated, it's either on the back side of the board or in the head. Check the wiring from the head (look for 12 large wires). Follow them from the head to the board. Check for damage for a bad connection on the...

    There are diodes but they are on the rotor, their failure would not cause a loss of 1 leg. Check it at the voltage reconnecton board. Let me know what you have between the following: T1 to T2 T2 to T3 T3 to T1 T1 to T12 T2 to T12 T3 to T12 I assume you have a multi meter and are comfortable...

    That's not how it works. In general, an Ave only needs to see voltage and it regulates the voltage by adjusting the magnetic field. The windings all see the same field and create voltage. Where are you metering it? There may be a bad connection between the head and that point or you have a bad...

    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.

    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

    Mep 006A won't turn over

    The onboard gauges are not the best, The frequency meter being the biggest pain of all. verify your frequency with a known good multimeter. on more than one set i have had to replace the frequency meter, This usually involves replacing (or in your typical aftermarket gauge) bypassing the...

    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.

    That worked. Definitely not normal behavior.

    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
