Thanks. It took longer than I would have liked to get it running but I learned several things along the way which is a good thing.

I disassembled the top 'check valve' portion of the IP and didn't see any rubber parts. I did not disassemble the main part of the IP because it was gummed up and couldn't get it apart. I saw some other posts of 802 IPs getting soaked in lacquer thinner for a day or two so that is why I did...

Finally got it running....kinda sorta. One at a time, I removed each IP and let in lacquer thinner for a few days until they became unstuck. I ran it for a couple of minutes and then shut it down to check oil and coolant levels. Now it's not restarting. I can kinda get it to start but then it...

Thanks for the reply and the tip about removing both pumps. Yup, the fuel pump is working. I put a fuel pressure gauge on the pump output, switched to 'prime' and quickly got 30 psi. And it's getting that pressure at the fuel filter because I unscrewed the bleed bolt too far and it shot...

MEP-802 is cranking but not starting. The fuel filter was replaced and bled at the top of the filter housing. I cracked the lines at the top of both injector pumps and not getting any fuel out of either IP. Generator has been sitting for about 2-3 years and worked great before so I'm thinking...

Thanks for the encouragement and ideas. I was able to get it into the trailer by jacking each end up with hi-lift jack and chain, stuffing a few pallets under it and pulling it onto the trailer with the hi-lift jack. Took me an hour but was able to get it on there.

Anyone have advice or experience on loading an 802 onto a utility trailer without having a tractor, backnoe, etc to actually lift the genset? If the trailer has a ramp, would it be possible to pull it onto the trailer with a come-a-long? Thanks!

If it's not your daily driver then take a deep breath, step back, get a multi-meter and start methodically troubleshooting the issue.

The brass stencils interlock together. Then you just spray thru the stencils. I suppose you could use the brass stencils to cut out paper stencils but that's not necessary.

have you tried adding a can of Sea Foam then changing the fluids? That helped my tranny shift a lot better. EDIT: I also changed the filter too.

Take a look at this post. Seems like a lot of work to get rear turbo 6.5 into a cucv. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/27571-cucv-build-here-we-go-again.html

Finally got my trans to shift normally. Replaced vacuum pump and Vacuum Regulator Valve since both were not holding vacuum. Shifts great now!

Wouldn't that require some serious firewall mods to fit the rear turbo?

Appreciate the pics. Looks a bit lighter color than I was looking for so guess I'll be looking for another color.
