I'm assuming this is an MEP-816A, not an 806A as stated in the title.... Since an 806 would spill it's internals long before 12,000 RPM! rofl

Is your desk in need of a new paperweight?? Can't really think of much else to do with it! rofl

You are 100% correct Guy! Externally the look quite similar, but internally about the only parts that are the same are the delivery valve and holder pieces, the throttle control assembly ,the actual timing buttons and a couple gaskets. Most of the other parts are not interchangeable including...

If it runs... Your good... If not, we fix it... , and then you're good.... no big deal... (y)

Well, congrats... we will be waiting for updates on how you make out! As for your wife, typically they nag and complain up until about 5 minutes after the next power outage begins. At that point the complaints are often replaced with sounds of joy because your lights are on but the rest of the...

Lately it seem that long term storage ( even with proper additives ) may have suffered some, but bulk fuel storage is not as big of an issue as is machine storage. Seems today's fuels tend to gum and varnish much faster than days past, when left long term in the small spaces within IP's etc...

For $20 I can't pass it up! Thanks for the info.

I totally agree with Jamawieb. I have had lots of machines with double digit hours and others with 4000+ and I have to agree that in my opinion, 800-1500 hrs. was more of the sweet spot for me. I think they ran better ( due to being broken in ) and they tended to have less problems than the 10...

All you can do is keep your eyes open and occasionally you will find one that goes somewhat reasonable, but these days there are a lot of buyers paying more at auction ( before fees ) than I typically was selling my tested, serviced and guaranteed machines for. So at this point, I have all but...

Sweet deal! 58A and still going strong... looks like you're back in the winner's seat!

Since the machine seems to handle a full load when applied in steps, I'm not convinced you have a fuel injector issue. Sounds more like a governor adjustment issue or maybe sticky metering pump arms causing slow governor response. Out of curiosity, I would throw the same load on it, let it bog...

So if I'm reading correctly, the machine will take at least 54A by stepping up incrementally without issue, but it's a bit finiky if you dump the load on it too quickly?

On the 003, IF it has been sitting ( which they all have ) a while, cranking these will surely damage the Injection pump at minimum. If it happens to have an American Bosch IP, that damage will be catastrophic and only repairable by replacing the IP. When it comes to the 002 / 003, look for one...

I have to admit, I cheated on the 002/003 card as well... have an AC reconnect box on the shelf and measured the bolt spacing from the back side.... Both Lazy and a cheater on occasion! ;) but more that I figured all 4 screws would probably snap off on me, judging by the rust on the threads....

Hey LITD, I'll send you a text to discuss. I assume you want the dia. of the housing gasket? The WIX 15398 doesn't look right, I think that is just the bolt head gasket... judging by the picture. I have loose fuel canisters and base housings. Best bet is to measure the housing. probably never...

Seems you and I were both typing at the same time.... and seems air pressure was a fail, so the tool better work!

2 other things you can try on the delivery valve... although the tool is already on order.... Take a rubber glove and wrap it around the entire rotor, then use electrical tape or duct tape, wrap it up good and tight. This is to seal off all the holes machined into the rotor. Then if you have a...

Yes, you can twist it and / or tap it out. It's hardened steel... Gotta be just stuck with gum / varnish.

On the delivery valve I don't think you can access it from the other end, but maybe I'm wrong. If you can access it go easy with it, don't want to damage the point on the end. But if the other end was open I would imagine that would defeat the whole function of the rotor and pistons, but maybe...

Yea that screw is very tight. I've used both torx on a ratchet and a small impact wrench. Just be sure to hold it straight so the doesn't try to move sideways on you. I don't recall what the proper name is for that head, but as a last resort you could get the actual bit for it, if you're worried...
