    MEP 005 Runs Great for 1-2 minutes then shuts down, no fault light indications

    after reading your post again i think the flex ring is coming apart. the coffee grounds material you described is a classic symptom. i think its shutting down due to the material cloging the check. after you remove the check i dont think it will be long before the ring is gone.

    injection pump timing on mep 003a

    your correct on both points. when you have it set you may have to bump it a little one way or the other with a rachet at the blower bolt (gear lash)
