    802a stops suddenly video- suggestions moving forward

    Hey guys, no diesel is coming out from that hose at all. When I turn S1 to prime & run OR while it’s briefly running- not even a drip. does that mean I need to start replacing the fuel lines (Return line and (2) hoses to pumps) Or could the fuel block be somewhere else in the system? Thank...

    Update : I soaked the pumps for a few days in Gunk, no luck. The levers on the pumps are stiff, and don’t seem to be loosening up at all I see on @CallMeColt video how loose they normally are. Mine are no where near that loose. Any suggestions where to buy replacements? Or other methods of...

    MEP802A not starting . Notice anything major in video

    I can manually move the lever 180 degrees - although it's a bit stiff. The Rack moves freely with the pumps out . Only thing I can think of is, going back to verify the pumps were installed correctly - as @ callmecolt stated in his reference video .
