    MEP-002A Starting question

    I called Ambac an ordered it along with some extra parts. I was only able to use two of the o-rings and one copper washer out of the kit. There is a big fat flat o-ring in the housing that I reused.

    MEP-002A Starting question

    I have a friend who is going to watch me take the pump apart and clean it. We will just be rebuilding the old pump with new o-rings and such. The folks at AMBAC told me the head assy was a 4 month lead time and 850.00 if needed. Thanks for all the help!

    MEP-002A Starting question

    The weather cooled off a little today, so I went to work on the 2A. Took the hex nut off the pump and pulled the DV out. I turned the engine over by hand and the plunger would move out but I would have too tap back in with hammer and drift. Seems like the spring is not strong enough to push it...

    So would that mean reset to zero time? Or just adjusted into spec. Thanks for your help

    MEP-002A Starting question

    OK I checked every thing that I was told to check, the shut-off is working and the lever is free and follows the solenoid up. Getting about 30 psi while cranking. Still not getting any fuel through the pump. I have seen the plunger stick in M-100 heads of the same design, would it help to clean...

    MEP-002A Starting question

    Got my 2A home, changed oil and fuel filters, cleaned fuel pumps. I am getting fuel all the way up to the injector pump inlet. I cracked the line on the front injector but am getting no fuel. Would the problem be the delivery valve stuck on the pump under the big hex nut? Unit was turned in...
