I have a MEP 002A that I just bought from Government Liquidation auction. I drained old fuel and replaced filters, cleaned strainer including inside fuel pumps (they all had brown goo in them). It wouldn't fire after repeated cranking so I used some ether and it fired right up. It ran nice and smoothly and all gauges read appropriate levels. I hooked an electric heater to the convenience outlet and it ran well even under load. I let it run 10 or 20 minutes and shut it down. I tried to restart it and it would not, no matter how long I cranked. I waited til it was cold and it still wouldn't start. A shot of ether and it starts right up again. A second attempt produced the same outcome. Any idea what my problem might be? I am not a mechanical engineer - just a tinkerer so any help will have to be terms I can understand! Thanks....
