If anyone has some spare time and will to talk me thru some trouble shooting. I have to go back to the pd tomorrow. And don't think I'll make drill this weekend.
Ran the 002 a couple of minutes. It sounds good. As soon as I release throttle it dies.
If I try to turn starter again/ flash it picks up speed. But still dies.
Not aware of an alarm on the mep002a. The lights come on the panel. The AC volts is around 180. Nothing on the rated current (don't have anything hooked up). Hertz showing 65+.
Would it shut down if all of the fuel pumps are not working?
OK guys looks like I am going to be out of power for a while. Would like to try and get the 002a running some. Mainly for well.
It will start and run with holding the starter. But as soon as I release it stops. I can hold the throttle up and it will continue to run, but still maxing out...
Thanks Jim. I will hold off on going any farther until the part comes in. Thanks. Ordered it through GMG via eBay. Tried contacting GMG directly first but could not find a POC #.
I try to never to use starter aid on any of our equipment. I don't think I've had to even on the cold days out. But we hay farm so not a lot of cold days for us.
Thanks for the warning. I noticed the intake getting warm when I was trying to start it up. I am a little surprised the heaters still work. Going to have to try and bleed the lines some more. Hopefully I'll be able to get a rheostat soon. Don't know if I should let it run without the rheostat.
I got smoke. Still think I have some air in the lines. It'll start but as soon as I release the switch it cuts off. The Hertz gauge is maxed out when it is running. Is this normal? Do I need to wait for a rheostat before trying to get up and going?
Thanks, Isaac. I didn't know what it was called. So I think I've found everything online. Going to order it this week and hope to have all next week so I can find out what else is wrong. It'll give me time to clean the other two fuel pumps.
Got power. It was the push pull breaker thanks. Now to start cleaning the other fuel pump and take apart the fuel injector pump. Going to be a long road. Any suggestions.
I am also in need of fuel/oil filters, air filter with housing, and voltage adjust. Any suggestions
Thanks about the push pull breaker. It was pushed in. Still no luck. Where is the ground strap for the cabinet? I thought I had something to check the connection. I'll be picking that up tomorrow with a Allen socket to take the fuel injector pump off.
Does it matter which side the positive...
I recently bought a mep-002a in rough condition. Missing a couple of fuel lines and the voltage adjust switch. I was going to go through it just to make sure it's not worth saving first. I've pulled one fuel pump and clean it out. Was going to check to see if it worked. Hooked up two...
