Success! After a few days of heat & ATF, I got it loose enough & used the governor fork to move it where it needed to be. With the top cap that goes to the injector removed, I kept putting heat directly in there for 1 minuet or so, then ATF. You'd see the ATF bubble & seep in until it was...

I did take the top off & put it in there. Going to let that soak in & do it again after work with some added heat as well. Will be sure to pay attention to the timing marks, thanks for that tip!

That's my plan! I have this to work on & my M1078, so I have been doing between the two when the other one gets to annoying.

That's the problem... I can't get it out because of the position that the parts are in. The bolts are all out & I can spin the injection pump around but no way to get it out because of the way the hole is made in the engine block. I tried to get some ATF on it all to see if it helps loosen it...

Thank you! Great information & a good video. I still need to find a way to get it removed before I can service it though. 😔 Wonder if I can disassemble it while still installed to get it free & just be extremely careful to not have the pin part slide out.....

Everyone, I am currently trying to get a MEP-016B generator running. I confirmed I am not getting fuel on the high pressure side of the injection pump due to it being jammed. I want to remove it but it was left in the "off" position so that is where it's stuck. In the workshop TM...

I used it this past weekend out at my off-grid place for a few hours. Mild this time of year so no need for 24/7 power. It will start my A/C units fine & run my kitchen setup. Will also run my heat on the low setting. Not all at once but it does the job! Will be a good backup for going out...

Got to use it for a few hours with the power issues here in Texas. This thing doesn't like the below freezing temperatures! The battery I put on it is much smaller than what is recommended & will be okay 95% of the time where I am. Warmed it up a bit & it fired up. Gave it a few minuets then...

Cool, hopefully the adjustment did it. Takes some times to work out the kinks on these things but once you do, it works very well.

I did this air dryer upgrade in one of my YouTube videos for those that may want to see it. Mine came with the proper plate for the FMTV though.

I had your issue & got two switches. Drove me nuts. Seems like you are almost there. What I found was the rotational adjustment needed to be better. The vibration would cause a false fault. Loosen the nut & rotate each way until the float hits. Find the middle. Then, push it down until it hits...

The videos I made on the adjustments are very long & boring but I had a ton of help on my thread to get mine going. It was really bogered up. Here is my thread; https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-831a-fix-up-thread.190228/

Got it all fresh & new!

kloppk pointed it out before I could. I have made some videos just on adjusting everything you're pointing to because I had all the same issues. kloppk helped me through them as well. I will lastly add that I ended up needing to tighten the black thumb screw down ever so slightly off the...

I added some PRI-D. Plan is to just drain the tank when I do the fuel filter & check to see how clean it is. Fill with fresh fuel, treat with PRI-D & SeaFoam, then run a whole tank at 100% load. Change the oil as well during this & use SeaFoam in the crank case. After all that, it should clean...

How long did you let it crank? It takes a while to prime these if the injection lines & pump are empty. Take the fitting off at the injector. Turn the switch to on. Let the electric pump run for 1 minuet. Hold the decompression lever down & crank the starter for 30 seconds. Look for a good jet...

Yeah, it probably would. The video does make it sound louder than it really is though.

Howdy, Got myself one of the L.I.P.S. (Lightweight Independent Power System) generators a few days ago. Seemed complete so I went to look at it with a battery & some fuel. Started up & made power so I made the buy. The model on the tag is 30D36R. Did a bit more testing of it today...

Another video on the motor in the generator.
