I plan to pull the pump to check it out rather than take chances on the engine struggling. Thanks for the replies.

I read the thread posted by Sewerzuk. His tests were done with concerns to the "button" and were very informative. However when I installed my injector pump I don't have a clue as to where the orientation of the pump was when it was installed. I aligned the PC marks but the orientation of the...

I agree, however some may want the bleeders. Makes no difference to me either way. It will still run. You are very correct on the diagnostics. By removing the "bleeders" a pressure gauge can be installed to test the pump pressure while still and running. Easier to do that rather than taking...

When I last ran my MEP-002 last year before my injector pump quit, the voltage output was fine then it quit having an output. Without moving any of the switches I tried it again twice with no output then my injector pump stuck. I finally got around to building an injector pump and got it...

My injector pump went out last year. When I had time to work on it I couldn't remember, when I remembered I didn't have time to work on it. Now that we have had some bad weather coming I made the time to assemble a pump and put it on. I aligned the PC marks and installed it. When I first...

All you have to do is loosen the bolts until you see fuel seeping out. It is not so much pressure that it will shoot to the moon. If need be, get me the size bolt and I can make you some with a 1/8" pipe tap in the end. You pay for the bolts and shipping.

I have my 002 sitting on a concrete pad that is 6" thick. When I started it it started "walking". By the time I noticed it, it was getting ready to topple off. I went to the local farm supply store and bought about two feet of foam that is commonly used in horse stalls. It comes in 4'...

The question of using a resistor in-line was posed in the way caud4u answered it. He will not toot his own horn but I will. He is an Electrical Engineer with around 45 years experience and knows the ins and outs of this and was merely answering the question as it was asked initially. He is of...

WOW! $62 each delivered. Told you they were out there, but people that have them are gouging because they are scarce.

The letters NYHTC signify "New York HQ Training Center" I think.

OK, I will concede that. I also understand what you are saying about it being a hunk of junk. But it would still be an expensive glow plug even though it might be necessary at some point. You are much more experienced with these generators that I am. It looks as though there may come a time...

I have found several VRs that would work for this that are 20 amps with heatsink and are vibration resistant. Problem is the cost... around $25. This would make the neatest and easiest install. On the other hand,cuad4u brought up something that I had thought about before that would work by...

That would be an expensive glow plug.

The MEP002 I have sitting here has a hot wire going to the manifold heater, a jumper from the manifold heater to the glow plug by the fan and another jumper from that glow plug to the other glow plug. It appears to be all original as it was manufactured. The manifold heater and both glow plugs...

Looked up grid heater. It is nothing more than an intake air heater. While it helps, the Gensets need glow plugs.

I have about 10 of those kits left, but I have 180 kits that are 12 volt. 180 glow plugs on this site will last a long time. The ones I have are identical to the CH42 except for the voltage. Jinc, that is a nice looking Genset.

The thread size is 7/16-20 if I am not mistaken. I see a lot of people saying they are 10mm but that is not right.

I was thinking about wiring them in after the manifold heater. The power source comes into the manifold heater and then to one glow plug then jumps from the glow plug to the other, already in series (on MEP002). If one glow plug burns out the other still works without doing any damage to the...

The MEP002s are notorious for vibration if you are not used to them. Mine was walking all over the place on the concrete pad I poured for it. I went to a local Rural King supply and purchased some 1/2" foam. It is 48" wide and I got a 2' length of it, cut it in half and put one under each of...

OK, but the 12 volt glow plug will get just as hot as the 24 volt so long as the voltage is controlled to keep it from burning out. There is no glow plug in the manifold, at least not like the one on the head. The other is a manifold heater that preheats the air in the intake. I am not...
