    MEP 802a ran out of fuel, is hard starting now, running on 1 cylinder?

    Thanks Tom, I didn't explain that I did take off the top and clean them up. They looked **** near brand new, so that wasn't where it was sticking. Ok, I pulled one of the injection pumps out, and moved the fuel stop lever by hand. then I pushed against the lever while it was opening the fuel...

    Hey Tom and team, So, it's been cold out, and the generator has sat still for a bit. I'm back working on it. More to the story. It started right up after a week or two of sitting. then when we shut it down after a few hours of use, it won't start again. Exhaust temps about the same. Same...

    MEP 802a ran out of fuel, is hard starting now, running on 1 cylinder?

    Hello everyone, been off the board for a while. Now I'm enjoying my a3 with one less axle and a dump bed! Yay. But that's not why I'm posting. I have a MEP 802a that had very low hours. I lent it to my neighbor for their emergency and they ran 180 hours on it. Then, they forgot to put...
