    MEP 802 A Noisy fuel pump / stopping

    Yes, while you replies I was looking into that. The fuel is plumbed in the aux fuel fitting, and the tank is dry. I am guessing it is a transfer pump issue or a float issue. Threw me off because I was not getting a fuel light. CF

I think that the stand he built for it is causing...
