    mep002a

    I assume you mean 65Hz then zero, not 95Hz. Can you give more detail on the replacement AC regulator? Was the machine dead then you replaced it with a used regulator? Or do you have any history on the regulator at all? The 65hz. then zero scenario sounds like a possible bad connection. do...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    So what I found is that the weight basket is a newer "1-piece" replacement, not the original with the flexible ring riveted on the back. So more evidence that someone has been in there before. The plungers were stuck tight in the head. It took 2 days of soaking in carb clean and 140 psi. of air...

    MEP-80x Fuel Return Line

    Agreed! If you're in there now, just go ahead and replace it all. That hose eventually fails on pretty much every machine. I would also take the extra 15 minutes to remove the fuel tank cover and run the new return line all the way back to the tank. Look at it like this... all the hose in...

    Changed fuel filters in MEP-803A... now it won't start.

    If you have trouble again, while the pumps are out, see if the far end of the rack moves up and down. I believe there is a plastic cap molded onto the end of the rack that rides in a passage in the back of the block. I would be curious to see if that plastic has deteriorated and fallen off...

    MEP-003a No voltage

    Good work! I know swapping the CVT assy is not fun, but you got through and persistence has paid off for you! Glad I was able to help a fellow Green Machine owner.....

    shipping suggestions sought, gen set Little Rock, AR to Lynchburg, VA

    I'm also not a big fan of U-ship. It works, but have found some sneaky shippers who will send you a question then once you give a reply they can email you a quote directly, that way the competition does not see their quote so previous bidders don't go any lower. And it winds up being cheaper to...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ok folks... I made good progress last night and now I have a couple questions for the experts... First off, I took the pump apart and as I got closer to the piston head and rollers started to see more and more burnt fuel "Gunk" The head is covered in what you normally find inside an old...

    Changed fuel filters in MEP-803A... now it won't start.

    Hello, So are pumps 1,2 and 3 coming out of the rack and 4 stays in? Also, when this happens do you notice it right at startup, such that it had popped out when the machine shut off last? Or has it ever popped out while the machine was running? Sounds like either the rack is still bent ( if...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Well, the IP is out of the machine and I've been looking over the -34TM in preparation to rebuild it. Before I removed the IP I took the transfer pump end cap off again and I think someone may have been in there at some point a possibly damaged the end cap and thrust plate slightly. There is a...

    Mep 006a Rear Oil Seal

    Oshkosh has it but sit down before you look at the price! If you try searching by the engine you may find more results. I also found a Federal Mogul PN. when I searched your PN, you can try checking with any parts store who carries Federal Mogul and see if it is available or not.

    How to fix Blowby

    It sounds to me like you're machine is fine. Most 802's will smoke a little as you approach the 100% output range, some smoke more than others. If one cylinder was smoking and the other not you can sometimes clean it up a bit by adjusting the metering pumps, but in all honesty I don't think you...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hi Guyfang. I'll try checking that before I remove it, but I'm pretty confident this gen was functional up until the day it was prepped and turned in. If it was 180 out, wouldn't it still pump fuel, just 180 out of time? I'm not getting any fuel out of the injector lines ( although I'm only...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Well Guyfang, Looks like I'll probably be rebuilding the pump at some point. I did more checking this weekend and still no smoking gun as to why I'm not getting fuel pressure. I removed the rear cover and everything was good. Vanes all look good and the shaft turns fine. The fuel inlet is fine...

    Mep004

    Hi Brian, I know the bar you are talking about in Sewerzeuk's video's. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the buss bar to know why yours would be missing. Maybe you should look at the TM and see if there is a good explanation so you can determine if you have some odd ball configuration, or...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    That's pretty much what I was thinking for next steps, check vane pump and verify shaft spins while I'm in there. I have a steady flow of fuel from the line, but from the window I doubt it, because it seemed to take almost 2 days for the pump body to refill after I drained it. However that was...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Well, here is where I'm at. I double checked everything under the top cover and reassembled. Took out the strainer on the fuel inlet and it was perfectly clean. checked the check valve on the fuel return also perfect. retested the fuel shut off solenoid and confirmed I can feel it hitting...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hi Guy, no worries, hope you are feeling better! I played with it for a few minutes yesterday and found that the throttle linkage was not actually "Frozen" but rather immobilized because the knurled cap ( used for sensitivity adjustment? ) was screwed all the way in. After backing the cap out...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    So tonight I had a few minutes to poke around on youtube and found a video of a guy rebuilding one of these pumps. It looks like for starters I have a throttle shaft problem. The plates with the high / low idle screws in it as well as the "Hook" inside the pump appear as if they should be moving...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hello Guy, I received the penta lobe bits today and got the cover off the IP. the fuel solenoid and the control lever all seems to be working fine. What does not appear to be working correctly is the throttle lever and linkages. From the inside of the IP, the governor rod assembly and the...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    The IP looks pretty old, stained and original, but anything is possible. I tried to take it apart after work today but struck out... They aren't tamper resistant Torx, turns out they are Pentalobe security bolts, 5 point ( not 6 point torx ) with center pin, so I just ordered a bit set, so...
