How sure are you that you got all the air out of the lines? Definitely sounds like some air in the fuel lines still. Maybe you should try cracking the line at the injector again while its running and see if you get any more air out of the line to the dead cyl.?? Can't see what damage running...

Wow, what a score! How can you beat 100KW genny for free, even if it needs work you're still way ahead of the game! Good luck with it.

Don't bother trying to run that compressor off an MEP-002A, it won't even make the motor twitch with an empty tank. The circuit breaker used in the MEP-002A and 003A will handle pretty high resistive loads but they type of breaker it is will not handle a large inductive load and will instantly...

I am amazed that you were able at one point to get it started by jumping it off another 12V vehicle. Cranking it with 12 volts is going to be very slow and be difficult to get enough cranking pressure to start it. Disconnect the short wire that connects the 2 batteries together and charge both...

A few years ago I was making biodiesel to run in my backhoe and Lull, but didn't have the MEP's at the time so I never used it in one, but from my other experience I can talk about it a little. Biodiesel is an excellent detergent and lubricant. It will loosen and clean off pretty much anything...

Jerry, sounds like you've been practicing with that stick welder you scored off govdeals??

Cool stuff... thanks for sharing. Now I'll go take an asprin for my headache, from standing on my head looking at the pics. :confused:

The Fram filters (oil and fuel) fit correctly, but some of the WIX and NAPA filters have wrong gaskets and wrong size holes through the center (oil) from what I've read. If you aren't hearing any return fuel to the tank you might have a restriction somewhere down stream from or at the injectors...

If you look to the right of the injector pump under the fan shroud you will find the star wheel that Cuad4u is talking about. It is attached to a coarse looking thread with the end of a spring hooked around it. Turning the star wheel will raise or lower the spring, bringing it closer to or...

An easy way to check if the drooping is caused by the governor spring adjustment or a problem with the engine ( such as weak injectors etc.) is to set the frequency at say 62 then apply a heavy load. If you can correct the droop by manually pushing on the injector pump linkage then the problem...

I've used the 2 part epoxy tank sealer from Caswell Plating on 2 of my machines and it worked excellent so far. I read that some people had problems with so of the other brands, so I choose the Caswell brand. Dried hard as a rock but took a while for it to kick over because the weather was cool...

So, what did you do to get her going, pumps need to be cleaned out like Rustystud was saying? How's it doing now.... everything working correctly? We all love it when another machine comes back to life! Congrats! :goodjob:

I wouldn't think you need a whole lot of clearance, provided you allow adequate intake/cooling air as well as exhaust clearance. You'll also need an enclosure that opens up or disassembles easily for fueling and oil changes as well as accessing the gages and controls, plus general maintenance...

I noticed you said you switched the selector to Prime and the pumps run.... maybe, just to be sure.... try making sure its the primary pumps that are running. You never know, someone may have plugged the pumps in wrong or wired the relays wrong and maybe it's actually the aux. pump that is...

Sounds like you've got 2 projects ahead of you! Stick the MEP-002a motor on your tractor and put either of the gas motors on the go-kart frame. Are your sons old enough to help with the build? It would be great to get them involved! Unfortunately my son is a bit too you still, but I'm looking...

I suppose the first thing I would check is the strainer in the bottom of the fuel pumps. The cap twists off the bottom of the pump and there is a mesh strainer in there, make sure it's not all clogged up. If it is you can wash it with carb cleaner or take the strainer out of your auxiliary pump...

No need to start with 320 to strip it down, it will take way too long, use way too much sandpaper and you'll go through a ton of Beer in the process. Start coarser and work your way down, it will go much quicker. On cars I start with 36 on an 8" rotary sander ( only strip 75% of the paint, avoid...

Bill W has it right. Paint thinner and mineral spirits for hot temps, Naptha for medium temps. Xylene for cool temps and you can use acetone for the fastest drying in cold temps. Thin it 10% up to 25% depending on your equipment. If you have painted with other automotive paints, this stuff will...

You can do it with your 4" wheel. Cut diagonally on like a 45 degree angle to help avoid cutting into the stop. Even if you cut the shaft a tiny bit, it won't matter, the race doesn't spin on the shaft, so a small nick won't affect anything. Cut as far as you can and split it open by pounding in...

Tom, I'd say something is drastically wrong there. That's running way too hot! You'll quickly destroy your stack (along with anything else near by) running it that hot. In general it seems like way too much fuel and way too much draft if you've got flames coming out the top! But I don't know...
