I have a defective bosch psu pump on my mep002a. I may end up purchasing a parts unit if I can locate one and was wondering how I could ID the pump visually in pictures only? Also, I know there is a timing process, but other than timing, is it a direct bolt on to convert from the PSU pump to the...
I have a military rebuilt unit that only has 15 hours on it. I am pretty consistent on starting it every few months but it had been about 8-10 months since I started it. Long story short power went out the other day, I went to start it and no go. The throttle arm was tight. Got it freed up and...
Just an update I put a 100% load on her and adjusted the droop and got her pretty good. (drops 1-2 hertz at 100% load) also doesn't drop nearly as much with the saw. The DC charging system was not working but it was just a blown fuse. Running for about half an hour so far at 100% load.
As far...
My miter saw is a large dewalt 15 amp saw. And It only drops 3-4 hertz. I did have another question, when I start it and after it starts and I hold the switch to let it build oil pressure I can still hear the starter engaged. (grinding) Normal?
Yeah I just went and messed with it a little and put the voltage at 240 and hertz at 61 and started my miter saw off of the convenience outlet. She barks a little and the hertz dropped to 55 or so but she came right up. I gotta get a load bank setup and run her through her paces next week I guess.
Well I sourced a spring and my patience for my gaskets that got lost in the mail is gone so I used my new filters and the old gaskets on the fuel filters and started her up. Started in about 15 seconds and seems to run great. Oil pressure gauge is pegged wondering if that's normal? I set it at...
My mep002a was missing the spring and retainer out of the oil filter housing. I already have the filters, and don't want to spend the money right now on a spin on kit and was wondering what you guys have done to replace the spring? Shims? Sourced it online, or maybe someone has one laying...
This is a totally newb. ? but does the paper (cardboard) on the fram ch6pl filter supposed to be removed prior to installation? Seems like a really dumb question but I never ran into this before.
EDIT.....After reading through the TM I see that I am missing the spring, retainer, and gasket out...
WEll I went and got her and I am pretty happy. Tier 2 reset in 07 and only 9 hours since the reset (if the gauge is correct). Good compression and whoever drained the fluids took care to put everything back and tape all openings (and battery terminals). Also wrote "no filters" on all of the...
