Thank you for such a detailed response! I’ll verify the timing and report back. This may be a few days before I am able to do so. Once I have I’ll report what I find! Thanks again

I’m thinking it’s out of time too. Because if it was sticking the plunger wouldn’t as buttery smooth as it is. I’m searching the heck out of the TM’s I can not for the life of me find the injection pump timing section. I’ve read it before but now I can’t find it. Thank you for the schematic of...

I have not as I can’t find them. I did bypass the fan shroud at the temp sensor and ruled that out. It’s definitely mechanical fuel issue.

So to have all four rebuilt with new seals and all the internals cost me $250 total. The nozzles were $30 each of that $250. To have my pump rebuilt will be around $400 So you’re thinking it’s either stuck and dirty or the plunger sleeve is broken or out of time. I will say I took the...

I have made a post prior to this on fixing up my 003 for my step dad I’m continuing to fight this issue. This set has 236 hours not on rebuild. It’s a 92 model I believe. The issue at hand is it’s a dog to start. Spray a good sniff and it’ll take off but with out it, it will not. Once it pops...

Watched a lot of your videos my friend! Just picked up a 531a wasn’t making any power either. No gauges were working terminals dead the whole nine. I flashed it and got all the gauges back. Everything is showing spec but no juice. Breaker still tripping instantly. Fuses good even switched...

Guys I’m at a complete loss here. I can not find glow plugs or a Source to purchase beside green mountain generators. They have 1 in stock @ $125 each. from what I’ve read the correct part number is the champion 182ch42 plug 7/16x20 thread every single glow plug I’m finding that the same...

Two of my Glow plug connectors are melted off the glow plug

100% pure sea foam? Drop the filter pour out the fuel refill with sea foam run for 5-10 to get it into the system shut down let sit over night start again in the morning? You wouldn’t use something like diesel kleen, hot shots extreme diesel, etc?

Gotcha! I’ve heard adding power service or a similar injector cleaning by filling the filter full of it running said cleaning then shutting off letting it sit and starting it the next morning

After I let it cool off it was able to start again by itself no glow and no ether I added 12oz of atf to about 2 gallons of fresh fuel. I’m trying to get some atf in the injection system to help break ip that gunk since then it’s been about 3 hours since I shut it last off and when I fired it...

new pump to isolate any underlying fuel delivery issues

I recently picked up a clean unit with no rust with 289 hours I know it sat for a long time so I assume I have varnish/stiction going on so far: Entirely new fuel delivery system all new line filter based filters and lines when I crank it I’m getting very little smoke if I give it a small...

In need of another one today! Did some research and found this thread. However, that part number is now unavailable. The updated part number (sold at O’reilly’s) is NMC23114

Hey guys and gals! Haven’t posted in a while just picked up a mep-018a at auction seams to have some hours on it but it’s extremely clean and not even sun faded. I paid $360 for it. I assume I did good but not sure. I’ve read some threads but they seam to be older and more on the technical...
