I have a good running MEP-805a generator. This issue is four of the five terminal stud nuts are missing. According to the manual the part number for the entire terminal stud which is for the stud and the nut is DGJM13F-S-RPC. I have tried searching the internet for this part number but...
Sorry for the long delay. Life kind of got in the way. I finally got around to disassembling the engine on this generator. I saw some corrosion in the exhaust manifold and suspected some water entered through the muffler. The problem was in fact the upper two rings on both pistons were stuck...
Well I tried a small squirt of starting fluid a few times and the engine never fired. I'm going to add some Marvel Mystery oil to each cylinder and let it soak for a week or so to see if has any effect. Thanks for everyone's ideas.
I really appreciate everyone's advice and knowledge. I just got called out of town so I won't be able to get back to work on it until next week. I will do what was suggested and let you know what I find. Thanks again.....
OK, so I tested the MPU as installed. I got right at 1 volt AC across terminals #3 and #6. I removed the sensor from the engine and cleaned the small amount of debris from the magnet. Reinstalled and adjusted so that I now get between 2.2 and 2.5 volts AC (book wants between 2 and 3 volts...
I have attempted to. The very first step is to check for the stop/start lever in the wrong position. It tells you to adjust the lever as per paragraph 3-23.5. This paragraph then refers you to figure 3-19. This is the figure I previously wrote about that I don't see some of the parts shown...
I also wanted to mention something else I found. In the -24 manual, Figure 9 shows the governor system. Does anyone know are some of these parts internal to the engine. I can see the parts #29 thru #35 which appear to be associated with changing the frequency. I can also see parts #44 thru...
LBCDguy,
I don't know to all of your questions. I will check the fuel return circuit tomorrow. I was thinking about doing a compression test but wasn't sure how since there isn't a spark plug hole to thread my tester into. Also, I couldn't find what the compression should be other than it...
Thanks...u was thinking along a different line that maybe I didn't have adequate compression due to a valve not completely closing. So I took off one of the rocker covers and turned the engine over
I can see both rocker arms moving. I then waited 30 minutes for the hydraulic pressure to bleed...
Thanks for the help...
Yes, it does fully retract. Another interesting thing to add. I removed both the intake filter and muffler so that I could get access to the injectors as I wanted to verify fuel was getting there. It turns out that it is. So the interesting part is that when I turn the...
I recently purchased this generator at auction. It only has a little over 6 hours on the meter. When I bought it all fluids had been drained.
I put oil, water and diesel in it. I opened the bottom drain on the filter and ran the electric fuel pump until fuel flowed nicely. I then slightly open...
Robert,
I set the MPU back to the way it was (around 4 VAC) and it still would not start. I did not notice any puffs of white smoke from the exhaust so I assumed I was having a fuel issue.
I first opened the drain on the bottom of the fuel filter to remove any possible water. I caught this...
A little background first. I purchased this generator about 4 years ago and it ran when I bought it. It only has about 60 hours on the hour meter. It ran just fine last year when I tested it (ran for about 15 minutes) as this generator is used very infrequently. I recently wanted to make...
Walkerman..... I am interested in what you did to resolve your problem? I have one of these same generators and the last time I used it everything was fine. Now I am having the same problem that you are. You mentioned previously that you got it running and the main problem was dirty contacts...
