    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    I ordered the Electroswitch. Today, I spent some time studying the wiring diagram. Does the Electroswitch hook up following the numbers on the K/N Blue S1? Since you are the pathfinder, I thought I'd ask for your insight in order to proceed, when the switch arrives.

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    I found a switch from Electroswitch for 94, S&H included + tax. Looking forward to installing and then following advice about setting injector stems equally.

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    Installed Injectors. Ran about 5 minutes or so roughly, white smoke. Cleared up after I remembered to tighten the I/J clamps. Temps were in the 185-190 range for 2, 3, & 4. 1 was in the 160's blocked off air climbed to 180's. Still not really smooth running. There must be a way to fine tune the...

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    Thank You! I have been reading and exploring the postings. This has helped me considerably. I looked into the interior of the motor, as much as i could. It is very, very clean. The metal has no residue found in motors with lengthy periods of service.

    I ordered a set of injectors. 2 were not working. I also found a u-tube video on a 3cyj teardown and assembly. They had applicable info, interesting. Status: AWP.

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    I noticed the difference, but did not well process it. Thank you. I was curious about that. All the way to the CCW it ran, but popped and made some white smoke. So, I moved them around to see if I could improve performance. That helped, but my system was not efficient. The set runs. 60 cycles...

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    I did not order the 14D151K MOV, the in-USA appears to be out of stock. I will run the motor soon , but pull the fuse on Pin 8 to disable the gen head. In the mean time, i will find the MOV.

Prior work: cleaned IP's and lines. replaced fuel return line. Cleaned attachment ports in I/J's. Cleaned...
