    MEP002A no start

    I think you are fine as far as timing and Plunger guide. 1 tick away from the mark is not a problem. I believe another member here once did a timing button test to compare timing to power output and found no significant difference in power or performance until you get much further away from the...

    MEP-803A Injection Pump sticking

    Sounds like there's a good chance that one of the metering pumps has a stuck lever and that is keeping your fuel rack stuck in or close to the off position. The slight amount of fuel coming out of #1 and #4 could be that they are slightly out of adjustment or possibly the rack is not quite all...

    MEP002A no start

    Hey Renuing, Its hard to tell without seeing it myself, but don't expect to see a lot of fuel spraying out of the "Cracked" injector lines. The volume of fuel in each stroke of the pump is very small, so it normally just looks like a drip or small spurt coming from the loosened lines. It doesn't...

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

    HayliteHeavy, first verify that you have good fuel flow to the metering pumps by either pulling off a hose from one of the pumps or crack the banjo bolt coming off the fuel filter housing. I've seen plenty of pumps that make noise but don't move any fuel. If you have good flow, then verify the...

    MEP-003a No voltage

    Up above you stated the Hz gage was pegged all the way up above 65Hz, not down at below 55. If that's the case your Frequency transducer is probably dead. Sounds like first you need to jump out the oil and temp sensors one at a time and determine which is the problem. Once you get it to stay...

    Mep002a?

    If your machine sits outside, open up the air shutters and look inside at the wires on the temp switch, I've seen several with mouse nests in there and chewed wires. If a wire is broken it will shut down when you release the start switch. You can get your hand in there to work, but its a little...

    MEP-003a No voltage

    As for the voltage and Hz meters, assuming the gages are reading correct, the Hz being pegged means the throttle is set too fast and needs to be backed down to read around 61.5 hz at no load. Sounds like the voltage is set too low as well. 91VAC at plug and 180 on meter because your AM/VM...

    MEP-003a No voltage

    You're right about flashing the field, normally you can hold the starter switch after the machine has started and the starter cutout near the oil filter will disconnect power from the starter as soon as the motor starts, but it sounds like that is not working. I suppose a quick short cut to test...

    Manual Glow Plug Control Instructions

    Geez, trying to go from memory... I believe there was a pretty hefty wire along the firewall supplying power to the controller? I think I cut and spliced into that feed wire, put the 24V solenoid on the flat area near washer bottle, then cut and spliced the output of the solenoid into the fat...

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    Wow! $85 for a button! look around on e-bay and see if you can find the size you need, think they are in the $10-$20 range.

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    If Storeman is unavailable, I'm set up to do the injectors. I normally only do them for myself, but am willing to help out other members if need-be...

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    All the parts you mentioned are readily available both on the internet and direct from Ambac. You can pretty much find everything on ebay , amazon and other internet sites.

    MEP-002 rough running

    Good Idea, I never really thought of Teflon on flare fittings, but I think I'll give it a whirl, to be on the safe side.

    MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts

    Here's a few more PN's incase anyone is missing parts for your air filter housing. I was missing an end cap and best I could find was a used housing assembly for $100+ after a little research I found the housings and parts from Donaldson are still available new on Amazon, Ebay and the internet...

    Mep-802a Won't shut down

    If you physically close the fuel shut off lever by hand and she keeps running you probably have an issue with either the governor, the fuel rack or a metering pump. I had an LPW2 with the same issue recently. It turned out to be a problem with the lever arm that the fuel solenoid attaches to...

    MEP-002 rough running

    Yes, definitely looks like it was cross threaded at some point, but seems to thread on easily and the tank fitting threads look fine. Maybe the Female threads in the hose end got mangled. Everything is original as far as lines and fittings and after further testing last night the problem seems...

    mep806a shuts off when start switch released

    Are you kind of low on fuel in the tank, or is the machine have a"low fuel" warning on? Sounds like you have other electrical control issues going on, but low fuel warning will also shut you down ( on the smaller machines at least )

    MEP-002 rough running

    That is what it appeared to be. hopefully I'm not saying this prematurely, but I think I may have solved it last night. The " oddly crooked looking " fitting where the suction line attaches to the fuel tank had a slight wet stain around it, so I gave it a little more "inward persuasion", then...

    MEP-002 rough running

    Correct, I know all about the droop adjustment and tried it, but this isn't a droop issue, its not lagging under load or hunting at all, its a split second mis-fire then quick recovery.

    MEP-002 rough running

    Hello guys, I know this is a very old thread, but I'm wondering your thoughts on a similar issue I'm seeing on an 002A I fired up for the first time last night. I did all the filters, flushed it all out and put in fresh fuel with some seafoam and ATF. Unit is very clean with only 8 hours on it...
