MEP-002, 003 timing buttons

[rickf]

I thought I saw a post somewhere about the timing buttons being more available now, maybe on Ebay? I can't find it in search but then again I am lousy at search phrases. I really need to get the pump changed on my spare 002.

There is / was a guy on ebay selling them for a bit less than if you buy them direct from Am Bosh (I think he is a dealer for them so gets a discount)

What size are you looking for?

Don't know yet Jerry, I have to flow time it. It is a running unit but it acts weird. I had a thread going on it a while ago. It will run smooth and then trail off and stagger along knocking with white smoke for 20-30 seconds and then smooth out for a minute and repeat all over. This came out of G/L and looks to have had a replacement pump. Have checked everything else like valves and all fuel flows. I am wondering if someone changed pumps and never checked timing. I am going to flow test it before I do anything to find out where it is. I already have another pump.

My hunch is injectors rather than pump.

 

[rickf]

No real way to check them short of replacement is there?

pull them and take to an injection shop and have adjusted to 1,750 psi (+- 50). Should cost 20-25 bucks each. I do it but you likely have a place near you. If not, e-mail me. jerry@queenscreek.com

X2, jerry does a great job on this. He has done i think 14 of them for me now.

I wouldn't think twice about having a respected board member like Jerry do them, rather than an unknown local guy. Shipping on little parts like this is cheap.

Thanks Jims.

Another vote for Jerry's work. He did 4 for me and turned them around very quickly. Thanks Jerry.

Jerry, I will get them out and get your info, there is nobody around me and if there were they would not know what to do with these anyway I am sure.

BTW: I expect to place a parts wanted ad shortly for a head for 002/3 which is okay for glow plug removal. Got an 002 last week which has glow plugs which will never come out. Also got another which was a good unit. I seem to recall a thread but can't find it, of a member who will likely have to part out his unit. Anyone remember who it was?
