Well that confirms it, I’m going not going to take the tank all the way out. The tank has about an 1/8” inch of gunky old fuel, consistency of soft tar. I’ve been using acetone to clean it, works quite well, but is a very messy job. Taking out all the fuel sending units, replacing the fuel gauge...

I am in the process of removing the fuel tank but I can’t get it to come out. Everything is disconnected for removal. The tank will slide back-and-forth sideways from side to side, but cannot get it to tilt forward to come out. Looks like I am going to have to remove the sheet metal above the...

The switch that was bad I took it apart and now it seems to be working fine. I checked with eBay no luck:( I think I might be able to take one off of one of my MEP-002A and see if that will work. -Larry

So what does everybody do when they need an Master Control Switch for there MEP-802A? I bought two MEP-802A's, one was missing the Master Control switch and the other one had a bad one. -LARRY

Started it up today, ran for ½ hr. shut it down would not start again. I checked the linkage on the IP and the shut off solenoid, all was working and did not make any difference, still would not make any smoke. I waited for another ½ hr. and it did start then. I bled off the 3 fuel filters all...

Ran the gen today for ½ hr, shut it down and tried to restart again, no smoke. Put jumper wire on the temp switch, no help. Waited ½ hr tried again still no smoke. Waited another ½ hr it started right up. Shut it down right away and it started right up again. The problem with the PRC gage seems...

I looked for wirers that could be shorting and lose connection’s. Did find one lose wire screw. Blew it all out and started it but still showed PRC 50% . Let it run for awhile, and the more it ran the lower it got, in about 30 min it came down to PRC 0 to 10% and stayed there till I turned it...

Will heed your advice and try not to get fried checking it out. I will let the group know what I find out. I ran it last night and did not see any sparks. Thanks to everyone here at Steel Soldiers for your selfless support.

This is my first mep003a, has 1200 hr. would not start. Looked like the injection pump was not working so took it apart cleaned it up, all looked good inside put back on and would not start. When I tried to start it just got a little gray smoke, but would not fire. Then it hit me the valves are...

I am thinking it has nothing to do with the running of the IP. It looks like when they drilled the fuel passage in the hydraulic head they put the Ball Sealing in the hole to keep the fuel from exiting the drill hole. I would post a pic but not sure how yet. I love this forum it has given me...

Looks like my IP pump was not working so I did a disassembly and it looks good to me but I have one question that I just can,t find the answer to. What does the Set Screw with the Ball, Sealing do. It is a allen head screw with something behind it? I can't get that something out and I don't know...
