    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    . I refer to it idling when one cylinder cuts out: the unit, even with wide open throttle when on one cylinder, she only runs between 1000-1200 RPM.

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Hey guys, I must apologize, I made two mistakes initially troubleshooting the problems. I worked some more on it this weekend: adjusted the valves (not too far off from tolerances) and installed a fuel pressure gauge. I also played with the cut-off solenoid. I realized that the solenoid is not...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Yes, I found the markings. The "A" was very hard to find and I passed it quite a few times before realizing it. I've been spinning it clockwise as well. So, #2 is closest to the genny head-I had that backwards, thanks! I will recheck them this weekend.

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    I haven't gotten a compression check done yet however I feel you guys are dead on about the low compression. I pulled the glow plug out of what I suspect is #2 and it was badly corroded although #1's looked brand new. I decided to check the valve adjustment before checking the electrics and...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Thank you gentlemen for the helpful responses. I would like to verify a few things with you guys to make sure I fully understand the system. I ran my other 002 last night to see how the fuel cutoff solenoid operates. Fully down and it shuts off the pump, fully up is wide open throttle. It seems...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Ok, I ended up making a more permanent new tank for it, checked all the connections, flushed the fuel and added some Diesel Kleen, and re-bled it. Oil was good but it is on the front of a M103 trailer and the low oil cutoff is rotated higher than usual when attached to my truck so I jacked it up...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've cleaned out the screen. It is a possibility that there could be air in the hoses but they seem to be in decent shape. I've bypassed the original tank and am just using a fuel can in the meantime. I found the filter housings to be clean when I replaced the filter...

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    My 002 I can only get running for about 30-45 seconds at a clip. Sometimes it fires right off, but normally it seems to start in a idle state (~1200 RPMs) even with WOT for about 3 very long seconds before she comes to life. I did get it running last night for 6 minutes straight. Every time it...
