    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    I do understand what you are saying "The spring #6 yanks on the governor arm and in turn pulls up the linkage connected to the IP." I also understand that this operation would work with a solid shaft from the governer shaft to the ip linkage. Is the part #10 a solid shaft on most units? Or is it...

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    I can move the control arm of the ip very easy with my finger. Now about the spring attached to the governer adjustment screw. I am not sure what spring you are fererring to. Do you mean spring #17-page 7-3;-figure7-2;-TM 34? From what I can see; and from limited general experience. It does look...

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    OK I had a chance to check the problem out. The fuel shut off solenoid is lifting. The throtel arm is not lifting. I have not searched the TM yet. I take it that the throtel arm is actually lifted by another solenoid? Munchies listed a few items to check. Sad to say schematics are electrical...

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    gimpyrobb, Where do I get Berryman b12 cleaner? Would the auto parts store have it? I have not heard of that cleaner before. Is it a fuel additive, or an external type of cleaner? Thank you

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    As far as i can tell it was serviced. It did look like fresh oil and filters. I plan to check myself to be sure.

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    More information: The unit is not shutting down on its own, I am turning it off. The first time I ran the unit for an hour. The next run, a week later was 45 minutes. I thought the shutters were not opening right, they would open a little, not wide open. I pulled the thermal unit and tested it...

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    Thank you for a rapid response. That thought did come to mind. It could be that I am wrong. When I looked at the schematic it shows the overtemp switch in line with the low oil cut out switch. So I figured just as the unit will start, and run as long as the switch is held in the start position...

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    Hello all, I have read a lot of good reviews here about the mep's. So that was my decision to go with for a standby sysstem. I bought it from a reseller on ebay. I thought I was getting a turn key unit ready to go. Sad to say I found out different. First issue I found was the output selector was...
