    Mep-701A Injection Pump rebuild / repair question

    Happily I think I just found what I need on good old Youtube! Looks like all the parts in question have a straight line cut into them... align all of these lines during assembly and all should be correct!

    MEP-004a injection pump problems

    I had a similar problem with an 005 recently. Rebuilt the pump and then got nothing out of it. I believe the problem was just as Guy stated. The gravity feed system took FOREVER to get the air out of the pump cavity so that the transfer pump in the end of the IP could start working. I ended up...

    Mep-701A Injection Pump rebuild / repair question

    I've asked GMG if they could / Do supply instructions with their rebuild kit. I'll let you know if they respond. If all else fails I'll try contacting the kit manufacturer in Italy.

    Mep-701A Injection Pump rebuild / repair question

    Hi CB, Yes I did notice that. I took the pump apart and everything looks ok, my feeling is that someone was in there and assembled it incorrectly. I need to determine how you are supposed to index the metering rod with the holder and the slide rack. It doesn't look like any TM's show how to...

    Mep-701A Injection Pump rebuild / repair question

    Hello guys, I'm working on a couple 701's for someone and I've got a question on the fuel metering pump which I can not seem to find an answer to in any of the TM's The machine's speed control / governor is working exactly opposite of how it should, such that moving the fuel lever to the left...

    MEP-802A ac circuit interrupter relay issue

    Ehannah365, if you're having the same problem with your interruptor not closing, go through the test process and if you determine that the magnetic contactor is the problem, try giving it a few taps with a rubber mallet or a small dead blow hammer.... It's worked several times for me. If that...

    Gone

    It could be due to loose or out of adjustment fuel metering pumps. Also look at the stop screw for the fuel shut-off lever, to see if it looks like it has been moved? Maybe someone fiddled with it, or it wasn't locked correctly and has moved with vibration. Lastly would be an internal issue with...

    MEP-002a fuel pump issue?

    It doesn't sound to me like you have a problem at all. Everything Chainbreaker said is spot on. I'd say your fuel pumps are acting correctly, you just may not be familiar with their normal operation.

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    I'd suggest giving it another good flush job with either automotive radiator flush or some muriatic acid added to the water. Get it hot ( with no thermostat installed ) , let it run for a while then flush it with water again. Refill it with 60/40 and most importantly, install a new 180*...

    Mep003a generator surging

    Glad to hear it's running good now. I doubt the old fuel canister gaskets were the issue ( you mentioned fuel filter but I assume you changed both filters again? ) because a leak there or at the copper washers on the retainer bolts would result in fuel leaking out, not air getting sucked in...

    MEP-803A and water, a rebuild story...Hopefully!!!

    A good machine shop can sleeve just about anything, it will probably come down to a matter of price. If you can locate either a good short block or at least a good block it will probably be cheaper, but fixing yours is not out of the question, just need to consult a local machine shop.

    fuel tank patching

    Guys, The absolute best product is Caswel Plating's 2 part epoxy tank sealer. It's available on ebay. I have posted several other times here as to how to use it. It's a bit pricey but it works. You clean the tank, mix the epoxy, dump it in and just keep tipping the tank around until the epoxy...

    Mep003a generator surging

    Sounds to me like you may have gotten air into your fuel system when you did the filters. Try running the fuel pumps for a good 10 minutes or more with the machine off. Open the fuel tank and verify that you can hear fuel trickling into the tank while the pumps are running. Also, did you loosen...

    Glow plugs for MEP-002a/MEP-003a

    As a side note I suppose I should mention that I sold out of the Champion ones I had mentioned above. I still have the original Onan glow plug kits, but they are much more expensive than the deal OldPhart has found. I'm tempted to buy more of the Champion's myself!

    MEP 003A Oli cooler

    You can rig up the exhaust however you want, but my feeling is always to put the flex joint as close to the motor as possible, thereby minimizing the amount of "rigid" weight you add onto the original mufflers and manifold. The one thing you do not want to do is add pipe, mufflers or anything...

    MEP-803a help finding the fuse for the FU1 Battery charging circuit for the alternato

    I needed like 5 of them about a year ago.... 5 out of 7 machines I bought in 1 lot were missing them. luckily I stumbled across a good deal on ebay for something that looked close, but I didn't have the PN. Think it was 10 pcs. for under $20, so I bought them and was thrilled that they happened...

    MEP-803a help finding the fuse for the FU1 Battery charging circuit for the alternato

    Now... how do we get this info stuck into the Spare parts thread?? Might as well try to keep it all in one place.

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    I think what Guy means is that a fast running pump can indicate no fuel upstream of the pump, so a clogged filter would not be the cause. It would be something before the pump, if the pump was clicking abnormally fast. How much fuel was left in the tank? Was it anywhere close to empty (...

    Purpose of Synchronizing transfer on MEP-803a generator trailer

    I'd agree. In theory there should be no reason it wouldn't work as long as the load is ok for the 802. You can easily try it using a dummy load, if you are worried about it not working right.
