    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    The audience of this manual is an 18 year old soldier or airman. Not a lot of common sense or experience there.

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    I hear you but a Technical Manual should be explicit and not leave anything up for "interpretation". Assuming is the mother of all f***ups.

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    Notice that 1.16.5.5 describes the PRIME & RUN AUX FUEL position but there is no description of the PRIME & RUN switch position.

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    Did not know that the Aux pump works will the fuel level switch. My Fuel Level gauge is inop. Troubleshot it down to a bad sender, Does anyone know of an aftermarket suitable substitute for the fuel sender (TM 9-6115-671-24P, Figure 11, Item 30)?

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    That clears it up for me. I assumed it was priming something because it is labeled "Prime & Run". Like they say, assuming makes an ass out of you and me:)

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    Thank you. The generator runs fine after a fuel pump rebuild ($1500 in California). Just wondering what happens when the switch is in the Prime & Run position. The TMs just say to place the switch in this position. It does not tell you what to check for.

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    Hello. Hello, Master Switch is in the On position. BTW, the generator starts and runs fine. Just wondering what happens when the switch is in the Prime & Run position. The TMs just say to place the switch in this position. It does not tell you what to check for.

    Thanks for replying. I don't hear anything come on. Where is the electric fuel pump? Can you point me to a figure in the tech manual? I need to make sure it is getting voltage.

    MEP805B Engine Control Prime & Run position

    Does anyone know what happens when the generator control switch is placed in "Prime & Run" position prior to starting the generator? Should I hear something start to run like a fuel priming pump? Couldn't find a description of this switch position function in any of the Tech Manuals.
