    Who has an MEP-016E?

    If you get 24V at the pump and the pump isn't moving fuel then the pump is bad. You may be able to switch the main and aux pumps and get it to work. If no 24V at the pump then maybe something else is wrong. If it ran for a while and then stopped you may have to bleed the fuel system once...

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    I may still have the solenoid. I don't plan to use it. I like to keep it simple. Batteries and such on small gens that I can pull start are just expensive and tedious to maintain to me.

    Facet makes a nice little cube pump, too, if you're looking for an alternative. FACET SOLID STATE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS from Aircraft Spruce

    Very nice. The battery tray mod deserves a thread of its own.

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    Additional stuff in fuel pump wiring should be RF filters which are not necessary. You should be able to fine tune the RPM and Hz with the throttle control. Either the knob below the control box or some kind of adjustment on the governor should facilitate RPM adjustment. I'll have to look...

    I have 4 of the 6 ASK panels. I had a guy who wanted them but I haven't heard from him lately. I had to dig up a box that they would fit in. I'll email him. Mine just had the mechanical shutdown disabled with a tab under a screw that held the catch back. The solenoid would then only have to...

    To pull start: 1. Slowly pull the rope until extreme resistance is felt. This will happen when it reaches compression stroke. Let the rope back in. 2. Flip the red decompression lever on the top of the cylinder head. 3. Give a good, strong, long tug on the rope. My windings are as per...

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    I got the Yanmar started today. I haven't re-connected the gen head wiring yet but the motor runs fine. I put oil in, loosened the fuel line at the injector, held the compression release, and pulled the rope about 5-6 times until some fuel started leaking form the loose line at the injector. I...

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    OK, thanks. Mine is missing some parts and has some wires disconnected. So, I'm going to strip it down a little to lighten it. I should have some spare parts for the classifieds soon, ASK panels, wiring harness, etc.

    I can't find much info on the MEP-016Es but I do know they exist and the E designation is correct:

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    Is that in addition to the Auxiliary Fuel Pump? Are there 2 electric pumps? Or, did they re-plumb the AFP as a lift pump? The 016Bs have an Auxiliary Fuel Pump that fills the fuel tank from an external source. I believe it is controlled by the fuel tank float switch. It is activated in the...

    Who has an MEP-016E?

    If you have one, sound off. Does it have a lift pump of some kind? Or, will the Yanmar injector pump suck from the tank?
