    hints to remove and torque to install m35 temp sending unit

    is it pipe thread? in which case the thread seals by interferance fit, and some sealant would be a good idea, or does it have straight thread and a washer to seal. by the way 'sealant' on pipe threads is not really to seal, as much as it is for ease of removal in 20 years.

    Mep-802= No fun at all

    The solenoid only moves to run when you first crank it. Then it stays there until it is called on to shut it off. The solenoid is controlled bu the electronics that monitor the engine and generator, so the main switch may not be the problem

    knuckles, you are about 60 miles from me, throw it in a truck and come see me, I have 10 units, so plenty of spare parts.

    Mep-802= No fun at all

    You need to start at the beginning, which sounds like it would be the lube system. drain whatever is in it, make sure it is clean inside, new correct (NOT 2 cycle oil) oil and filter, new fuel and filter. Get engine running before worrying about other things. MUST be grounded or you could be...

    Still no power

    since you can get new ones for $50 i don't really see why you would bother with an old one.

    MEP-802a & 803a

    no, the fuel 'system' stays full of fuel, especially the injector pumps. the system is self priming with the supply pump running for maybe as much as a minute. what can happen is the plunger can stick in the up position if it has sat for many years.

    MEP-802a & 803a

    these are often referred to as gravity fed pumps, they just need fuel flowing by the connection.

    MEP-802a & 803a

    for all with fuel delivery problems: This is dependent on the actual design of the pump, but just because the bottom plunger moves, does not always mean the actual plunger is moving. Remove the injection line adapter and under it is the delivery valve, in the center is the plunger part of the...

    M35a2 soft top install?

    i believe the 900 is wider so that would be obvious and i think the 800 is the same, so i don't know what it could be.

    803a Problem

    etn550, we wanted to know if the fuel was being injected or left over from some other event. this proved the injection system was injecting.

    803a Problem

    are they not the same as the 802?? oil = 51374, fuel = primary 33472, secondary 33348 (wix) as to not starting, you know the pumps are working and the heaters are heating, so about the only other thing is are the nozzels spraying fuel correctly in a mist or just a stream. odd that all would fail...

    803a Problem

    ok, well it just sounds like it is too cold to start. maybe the heaters are bad. put a hair drier on high in the air filter intake. it is normal for there to be a lot of black smoke at first because they start at max fuel delivery.

    803a Problem

    crank it with the switch by the filters so the shutoff solenoid is in the off position. is there any smoke now? use the preheater and do the same, any smoke? this will indicate if it is the fuel system or if there is just a lot of fuel or oil in the cylinders.

    803a Problem

    you need to be very careful and have a plan for when or if it becomes a run away. remove the pumps and be sure the fuel control sleeves move VERY easily, also the rack that moves them. something was or is stuck or sticky. use 2+2 gum cutter to disolve the old diesel fuel that is causing the issue.

    Beginner Mep-802a owner with water in exhaust has questions

    you will also need to get the correct head gasket, they used to come in 3 thickness. be sure to follow the instructions for letting the lifters bleed down before you crank it after it is back together or serious damage can occur. read and understand the engine manual before you take it apart. it...
