It was a clue, but having it purr like a kitten for 2 solid minutes (then die) kinda of had me chasing a supply (or other) possible issue first, I didn't "flow time" the pump because there is no other way for me to change the timing beyond putting the pump on wrong (per the flywheel/pinned...

I swapped injctors with another running unit, no difference. I now have metal shavings (appears to be brass)? Under the area behind the big cap.

So,..... Which cylinder is the issue then? Cooler one or hotter one? I have a 30-40* difference between the two, rear one being the cold one.

(still fooling with mine). Interestingly, almost like you,I have 4 running great and only 1 that is a problem child. Which injector was the bad one out of yours? I have one running barely at 100*, the other stays steadily about 35* higher....

We may be onto something here. I have one injector (cylinder?) that never really gets warm. I'm showing between 98* and 105* on the back (right when facing) cylinder, and a very consistent 135-140 on the front one...... Runs like a top for about 1 to 1.5 minutes after a "hard" start, puts out a...

Egh.... It's better for me (and my sanity) to plop this thing in a box with some cash included and mail it off to someone like yourself who isn't afraid. I guess eliminating injectors as a possible issue is the first route, although, with it being totally stuck (in) when I took it off, it...

Well, It's been an hour, one was at 126*, the other at 132* I think the whole unit just kinda "sinked" (sp?). I need to be 100% sure on the timing, then go from there. I REALLY hope it's not an IP issue.....

Just got in from my evening diesel bath. (shower at some points this particular night). I didn't read this until I gave up and cleaned up. It is NOT a supply issue, I bypassed all the filters and the check, ran a line straight from the pump to the IP, same symptoms, runs anywhere from 30...

The "O" was indeed a "P" as you suggested. I am charging my batteries to give another whirl, got some puffs out of it a few minutes ago. The paperwork I have on this one claims it had a "leaky" injector seal, supposed compression leak at that point. Not sure if they repaired it, or just...

Symptoms (when running but too ignorant to time) were ran nice and smooth for about 1.5 minutes, then chugged a few seconds, puffed white smoke and died. Seemed a lot like a starvation issue, but I am getting a solid flow back to the tank, filters are new, strainer was cleaned up, lines were...

MEP-002. I popped the pump off, freed it up by soaking it in a gallon of non solvent carb cleaner, slapped it back on without thinking far enough to realize it HAS to be timed to run properly... (Sunday night) So,..... it RAN, not well, but at least ran, now that I took it back off, pinned...

jbk describes it pretty well here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxiliary-equipment/78726-cleaning-flywheel-mep-genset.html Guess I better take a better look (it's DARK in there!)

I see "A" , some dashes, and what appears to be maybe an "O" or....? What am I missing here. I have my pump off and pinned, (hopefully operational) and can't get the flywheel lined up to anything looking like an arrow with PC on it.... Help.:?:

Only paid $100 more than the next idiot...:-( I made just short of 100% pure profit on the first one I bought from the other New Castle location on 8/4. Live and learn I guess.

For future reference, I paid a similar close price for my sets, I'm not at liberty to discuss the single. I had it in my watching weeks before it started, and for some reason had it in my head it was a SET, not a single.....:oops: I'm either going to have to LOVE it and keep it, or sell it at...

I got several 002's (2 sets and a single) from that same end date. So far so....... mediocre. :-( I have one that is beautiful, 7 hours from a reset in 07 (seems like most were that way), although this one is a 1991 model. This fella runs like a top, spins right over, nice and smooth at running...
