So I took the injector pump back out it looks/feels like it is seized in the compressed position. I tried pushing down on it but it is already bottomed out with no travelI either direction. I found a video of a guy rebuilding a similar pump and it looks like the little ball should rotate...

Got it, thanks!! Will give it a try and follow up.. Most likely tomorrow, snow coming down and super cold on the way and my wife says I need to be ready for driveway cleaning duty.. Thanks again!

Thanks I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes. I did it from the fuel filter to the injector and it flowed very well. Will crack hardline on injector and see. Is the pump with the spring on the back of the injector? Just trying to verify where I should apply force to confirm it...

Hi - so I dug into it this morning. Took the governor assembly apart and shaft (P/O 23) would not turn. After looking at the drawing I decided to pull the injector and found the "U" shaped slot at the top for the metering pump was not seated. The metering pump arm was actually off to the...

I'll dig into that and see what I have in the morning, thanks again!

Hi - thanks for all the info!! Yes, it doesn't move and feels solid. I'll take a look at pulling it apart tomorrow. I looked in TM-9-6115-639-13 but only see the arm and not what it connects to unless I am missing it. Is there a different name to search for on that piece? I see 4-54 in the...

Hi - I did the following checks per above and didn't see any issues. 1/ Checked continuity between J&H and the actual plug to the actuator (had continuity). 2/ Ohm'd actuator from the plug and had 10.1 ohms 3/ Reconnected armature plug and checked continuity and ohms from J&H and both were the...

Hi - Thanks @kloppk I received the new board and bolt and got it installed - no issues. I just got this unit (18 hours). Haven't got it started yet. I replaced the governor control as everything I have read says high probability of failure, drained old fuel, and replaced with new, and...

Thanks! I will take a look at the hardware cloth. I bought some Honda OEM rat tape they use on vehicles which slowed them down a little but they still ate it up. Best thing is keeping them out so they don't have the opportunity.

Thanks for all the info! I'll probably try the pallet option to be safe and then some wheels / dolly longer term. Want to store inside my pole barn and roll out when I need. I could leave outside, however, I back up to a corn field and the mice have devastated wiring on parked trailers in...

Hi - I looked in the Ops manual and saw the sling lifting points and the fork points under the front of the generator, but nothing from the side with forks. Can the generator also be forked from the sides? I couldn't tell if the belly was soft underneath and only should be done from the...

Thanks!

Yes, that would be great!! Thank you!!

Yes, I purchased one of your controllers this morning. Nice to meet you!

Perfect, thanks! Having trouble finding anything in stock online but will give a local sourced M6x1.0x4 a try.

Hello - I noticed the bolt and jam nut is missing on the bracket assembly. I looked up the part number and did a quick google search to try and see the length/pitch of the bolt to source locally but not seeing description. Is there a specific site or way to easily look up the actual...

I hadn't seen that TB. Thanks!!

Thanks for the info, makes sense. I can make an adapter so will take a look and check it out.

I download the ones in the TM forum for the MEP-831a (TM 9-6115-639-13&P, TM 9-2815-257-24, and MEP-831A-OPERATOR-UNIT-AND-DIRECT-SUPPORT-MAINTENANCE-MANUAL-INCLUDING-REPAIR-PARTS-AND-SPECIAL-TOOLS-LIST-TM-9-6115-639-13P), and searched for "compression". Nothing really came up. I am just...

Hello - new member. I am in the process of acquiring an MEP-831 and noticed in a lot of the threads reference to engine compression checks to verify engine start/run. I looked through the TM's but didn't see steps on how to test. Did I miss it, or is this so fundamental it's not documented...
