    Mep 803a stopping question

    What happens when you turn these machines off? I have one that keeps running. Is the selinoid switch the off switch connected to the injector pump? I know the fuel pump shuts off but i think the ip sucks fuel right through the fuel pump once its running. Thanks in advance.

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    I read it but not having done it or see somebody else do it its confusing. When the pointer on the flywheel is lined up is that top dead center on cylinder no 1? It shows in the manual to put a 1/4" wire into the slot and turn the cam on the back of the pump till the wire drops in (like the...
