mep-802a generator fuel injector leaking around head . It starts and runs. hold down seems tight. any ideas

Take out the injector and clean the copper washer between the head and injector as well as the head and end of the injector body.
You can clean everything, hit the copper washer with a propane torch to anneal it and reinstall.
You can tighten down the clamp then tap down on it with a hammer and a blunt chisel or long bolt etc, then tighten again.
That should stop the leak.

Ray has it right. Also, LOOK and see if the copper washer is there! Sometimes its missing.
