    Mep004a filters

    The good news ( if I remember correctly ) is that the Wix 51004 oil filter doesn't come with the right square ring gasket for an 002/003 BUT, the 004, 005 and 006 use a different vertical canister which takes the wider flat 4 1/2" diameter gasket which comes with both Wix 51004 and the Fram...

    Sync a MEP-803A and MEP-802A?

    Correct... and Correct... The syncronizer you are talking about allows you to get 2 like-size gen's phase synced, then at the flip of the switch the load is instantly disconnected from 1 machine and transferred to the other machine. You can not even have 2 like size machines sharing the load...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Thanks as always Guy... This machine drives me crazy. It looked like oil was dripping steady from that corner on the pan.... Went back later and started it up and no leak?? I see a little bit around the dipstick tube, so I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. Everything else seems pretty good...

    MEP-803A won't start

    On the pump install, yes, the lever goes to the left, push the rack to the left ( if you removed all 4 pumps either by sticking a finger in one of the other holes or by holding the shutoff lever full counterclockwise. Put the pump in with the pin to the left and get it into the slot in the rack...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Well, not sure what I did but I threw the whole thing back together again, putting a pressure gage in the plugged port on the bottom of the vane pump end cap. Tried to test for pressure and noticed nothing on gage but after several attempts at cranking I heard a slight sputter to the engine...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hello Guy, well.... decided to get back to fixing the 005 this week. I pulled off the IP and first found the inner shaft seal was folded over allowing fuel to leak into the oil pan. I went through the pump again and didn't really find anything out of order, so reassembled and installed it. I'm...

    Mep 002a voltage

    I'm thinking just buy one of Triple Jim's redesigned regulators and be done with it!

    MEP-803A won't start

    So the metering pump should be 2 1/4" from the under side of the mounting plate to the outside surface of the spring retainer.

    MEP-803A won't start

    I'm going to take a look at a good metering pump tonight, the picture looks like the spring is almost bottomed out to me. Maybe I can get a measurement for you to ensure it is fully extended.

    MEP-803A won't start

    FYI, the holes are almost microscopic, so they are difficult to see without magnification. A single strand of fine wire can b used to clean the holes, but magnification is almost mandatory.... if your eyes are aging like mine!

    Mep 002a voltage

    The 2 big black things with the holes and the main AC wires looped through it are CT1 and CVT1 The one closest to you is the CVT1, the one behind is the CT1 You need to disconnect the small wires by removing the screws and test per the TM and see how your resistance readings compare. Don't be...

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    Keep working it out with cleaner in the fuel. If not successful at getting the injector cleaned up, go ahead and pull it out to have a better look. They can be disassembled and cleaned or replacements can be found for about $50 each.

    MEP-803A won't start

    Actually Uniquify, you nailed it! The metering pump in the picture is in fact stuck in the compressed position, I can tell right away! Mesias, you need to clean or rebuild you metering pumps for starters, then maybe check the injectors as well. The injectors have 4 TINY holes around the tip, if...

    MEP-803A won't start

    I've had good luck soaking them in the gallon size carburator cleaner dunk cans. 2 days soaking and then working the plunger while submerged usually frees them up.

    Remove MEP-803A Fuel Drain Well Nut

    You are correct. You should now have just an empty hole. The old well nut was just an expansion type rubber fitting. install the new one as you described, flange on inside, nut on outside....

    Primer Pump Not Coming On MEP 803-A

    If the pump tests bad, I can vouch for the airtex E8135, I've used a dozen of them with great results. You should be able to get one for about $35 or so. Drops right in using the fittings you remove from the old square pump.

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    Any chance you could post a picture of he smoke? Sometimes people's perception of color can somewhat differ. In a heavy / near overload condition you should be seeing more of what I consider a blackish smoke not blueish white. Blueish white without black specks can often mean slightly wet...

    Hey, congratulations Guy! Hope everyone is doing great!

    MEP803A Over Voltage

    Make sure you also clean the AM/VM switch on the front panel. I'd also take Kurt's suggestion and closely monitor the output voltage and see if you are really getting a true over voltage condition or is it a false trigger caused by a bad connection, dirty contact etc.

    Mep 803a Voltage Adjustment

    Running 4 ga copper 50' shouldn't give you more than a volt or 2 drop at the most. Adjusting your machine will not hurt it. If you have a multi meter, check the voltage at the machine and again at the breaker and let us know what you are seeing for drop. The actual position of the knob is...
