I had posted on an old thread but was told to start a new one so here goes i have 3 mep 531a i bought with all having about 63 hours on each. Fuel lines were all rotted away on all 3 units and 1 unit had the fuel bowl, and oil drain plugs missing broken pull cord. The third unit was complete except fuel lines were missing and i could see the fuel shut off has all been messed with and factory wire was cut off that part. unit 1 replaced fuel lines and filters and oil, fired right up everything works great, Unit 2 Is now complete and borrowed pull start from unit 3. I can not get the unit to pump fuel, i removed the pump cleaned inspected. still nothing. I took the fuel pump out of unit 3 and tried that and still nothing, run switch is on. I will be pulling the from cover off to make sure timing is correct, and reset the valves, but just do not understand if i am missing something before i buy a new fuel pump.
