Great work and solid execution! Would you be interested in making up a couple of those tanks for those of us jealous souls on this Forum?

So here's the pump with the fittings attached before installation into the MEP-803A. Just needs a bushing on the input side to neck down from 1/4" NPT to 1/8" NPT and the connector soldered into place on the leads.

Here's my Carter P70416 pump setup with additional fittings to connect into my MPE-803A primary fuel line. Just need to add a bushing for the inlet side that takes the 1/4" NPT female down to 1/8" NPT female for the filter connection. I used some 1/4" NPT 90* elbows on the output side along...

So I found the Carter P70416 pump that is the replacement for the E1074 unit on an auction site and have managed to assemble it with a bunch of fittings to reinstall into my 803A. She rumbled to life on the first try, after preheating and priming. I'll add photos in a bit to show my completed...

And the E1074 is now a Carter P74016. Found some on that auction site and other places as well. Remember, one is none, two is one, three is two, and four is just right.

Reviving an older thread with updated information about said fuel pump. E1074 is now a Carter P74016. Just ordered some myself. Happy pumping and parts supply!

So I just metered power at the Primary Pump, which is an E1074 unit, and have confirmed power at that connector Seems like I need to purchase an E1074 pump. Best source for these?

Gents-- My MEP-803A cranks but will not start. 98 hours total, plenty of good fuel. When I turn the switch to Prime/Aux, I hear a pump running, but when I turn the switch to Prime/Run on the way to Start, there's no pump running. Suggestions please. Thanks!

Normal bad or normal good?

This really IS getting buried! Sticky time?

Take your time and wait for the right unit at a price you can live with. Look at the oil analysis in the listing as that can tell you as much, if not more, than the photos. Look for fluid stains on the engine and case floor as there is a story there. Exterior cosmetics are informative, but...

Nice project! Looking forward to pictures and a complete parts list once complete!

Nice work! Love the added stencil! Have you considered plumbing them direct to your aux fuel port on the -803A?

Thanks for sharing this vital source of information and support for all MEP owners! I look forward to seeing and then printing for reference the updated listing.

Yes, pries on GP have skyrocketed since the storm season has kicked in and boosted peoples' needs. My purchase last November is now running about 50% less than comparable units. I've been tracking them for a neighbor who just has to have one like mine but is not in a rush. Kinda ridiculous to...
