I disassembled the top 'check valve' portion of the IP and didn't see any rubber parts. I did not disassemble the main part of the IP because it was gummed up and couldn't get it apart. I saw some other posts of 802 IPs getting soaked in lacquer thinner for a day or two so that is why I did...
Finally got it running....kinda sorta. One at a time, I removed each IP and let in lacquer thinner for a few days until they became unstuck. I ran it for a couple of minutes and then shut it down to check oil and coolant levels. Now it's not restarting. I can kinda get it to start but then it...
Thanks for the reply and the tip about removing both pumps. Yup, the fuel pump is working. I put a fuel pressure gauge on the pump output, switched to 'prime' and quickly got 30 psi. And it's getting that pressure at the fuel filter because I unscrewed the bleed bolt too far and it shot...
MEP-802 is cranking but not starting. The fuel filter was replaced and bled at the top of the filter housing. I cracked the lines at the top of both injector pumps and not getting any fuel out of either IP. Generator has been sitting for about 2-3 years and worked great before so I'm thinking...
Thanks for the encouragement and ideas. I was able to get it into the trailer by jacking each end up with hi-lift jack and chain, stuffing a few pallets under it and pulling it onto the trailer with the hi-lift jack. Took me an hour but was able to get it on there.
Anyone have advice or experience on loading an 802 onto a utility trailer without having a tractor, backnoe, etc to actually lift the genset? If the trailer has a ramp, would it be possible to pull it onto the trailer with a come-a-long?
Thanks!
The brass stencils interlock together. Then you just spray thru the stencils. I suppose you could use the brass stencils to cut out paper stencils but that's not necessary.
Take a look at this post. Seems like a lot of work to get rear turbo 6.5 into a cucv.

@SSDVC - do you have any pics that you can post of the 1009 in grey? I'm interested in a similar color and would be great if you have some pics you can share so I can get an idea of how it looks.
Thanks!
Today I did the spin-on fuel filter mod on the 1009. Seems to have worked good and didn't take much to get purge air from the fuel filter. But, we'll see when it snows and I need to plow. It was losing significant power on uphill sections of our steep driveway. I think that was from the...
Thanks for all the info. I picked up the units today and they are 003s. Haven't tried to start them yet but will in the next week or so. They are both low hour units (100 hours and 300 hours) and look pretty decent so I think it was a decent purchase. Got them both for $500 :)
