I haven't posted in a long time but still keep some OD iron up and running... I was out Saturday for a farm auction and picked up a m100 trailer (first one I've ever had) and was shocked how complete it is, NDT's, brake works, wiring, lights, stand all good. Data plate shows its a m100 but I...

Going to part out! Keep a few little things for spares and part out the rest! Just paid for my premium Membership, only $15! I couldn't believe its that cheap! Solid investment for this forum!

Ohh bummer time... looks like number one is either piston or rings... on comp stroke air blows through injector port and out the oil fill.... bummer. Now to repair or part out that is the question. I still have my good one that I use so that's good and can always use a few parts.

Sorry for delay but hadn't had a chance to work on the generator again. Did the manual check again... realized I had the wrong no.1 cylinder... in the end timing is dead on... but still no start. Pulled both injectors and cleaned them (unit had set for years so though that could be...

Did the manual check and pulled the valve cover. Fuel did not come out going around what I think is comp stroke. Fuel squirts out when exhaust valve is closing and intake valve is opening. Appears timing is like two turns off...?...? Are outer valves with long rockers the exhaust valves and...

Back in the garage tonight to get this done... hopefully. I did try to start again with no luck... so going to go through the previously supplied timing check and see how it goes... really have to get this project wrapped up and make someone a great running generator.

I haven't been able to work on it any more... I was on vacation when I got some 'old iron' time a couple weeks ago. Bought the pump and install kit with all the timing buttons from eBay. Hoping to get the 2 back in the garage soon though to do the previously recommended manual timing check soon...

Thanks for the info jamawieb looks like I have Work to do... it only it would have been as easy as I though. Been on other vacation projects and didn't get back to the gen set today. Hopefully soon though... I did try to start it and it wouldn't start... just chugged at low rpm before finally...

I did not check any flow rate. Just did the calculation for button and having a install kit selected the correct button based on the numbers. .128 I think it was #14 button. I did pin it as the TM stated and lined up mark on the flywheel.

Let it run for 2+ hours and I will say the smoke died down some. I checked the aux fuel pump and may run it off another source to try it again. I had to adjust the gov screw on fan end a little it was all the way in. I did the timing set per the TJ and had old pump and new to do the...

Previously reported getting this 2 off cl not running and stitting for years... 310hrs on the clock. found plunger in pump was broken. now she has a new injector pump... and a timing button added after try #1... she started but lots of smoking loaded or not. New filters and tank was cleaned...

I think you nailed it- bad switch

mep-002 CL find in great shape but not cranking.... been working on it last couple nights with IP mounted. Plunger can be tapped in and will pop back out approx 1/16" maybe 1/8" but doesn't go back in with manual fan rotation. I pulled IP tonight and soaking in mmo/diesel... reading this I...

Great gen sets, I have use one for backup for several years and works great. Wired it through a Eaton manual transfer. When the power goes out no worries here it's life as normal. Although I never do it will even start and run the smallest heat pump for the basement!

havent posted one for it quite yet... I guess I didn't want to post another "picked up a mep-002 that has been sitting for years and now won't start" thread... but that's what I have. At least I have my old one to compare the new one to to make sure things are right. It was a volunteer fire...
