    Bought an MEP-805B, started messing with it

    You seem real sure that's the problem. I might try pouring SEAFOAM or something like it into the IP, a bottle full in the fuel tank, and letting it set for a day. Then starting the set, letting it run for a few minuets, and shutting it down. Let it stand a day, and see if the SEAFOAM has...

    Sorry, I just dont hear anything wrong. You need to put it under load. If you have an IP and injector problem, it will show.

    The only bad part about nutcert is that when putting the gen set outer panels back on, is you lose the ability to move things a few hairs this way or the other. And often, putting the skin back on is a PITA. Glad you fixed it. I have played the first film of starting and stopping again a few...

    I still don't find it bad. But take the "belt" off the gen set. The belt is the metal band that keeps fingers, toys, tools and tree rats out of the main gen/engine bell housing.

But it sounded like about a billion other gen sets I have started and stopped. Startup and shutdown are the times where the whole...

    Wherever the control panel is, is the "rear" of a gen set. No matter in what direction the set is on a trailer.

    I think the expanding tool should work. Just be easy with it. I have had to do this with several different gen sets over the years, and never split an inlet. Loosened one, yeah. And indeed, we just soldered it back up. The hand pump "problem" is a very frequent thing. When ever this puppy runs...
