Why would people think you are blowing smoke ?

No, I didn't take off the pump, really don't want to never have done one before I was hoping it would clear up]

Yes I did

Ok, so I took the starter off of the running Mep-002 and installed it on the Mep-002 that I could not get started, due to a bad starter I believed. Once I put the known working starter on the Mep-002, and upon turning on the start switch it activated the fuel rod at the IP and cranked over just...

It will always help someone, Thanks

I take it 818 is still running good??

Yes Ray70, that's my next move, I am having Lasik eye surgery today so hopefully, tomorrow I will switch em out and see what happens

Ok, So I took off the starter (the one I took to the starter repair shop), again and took it to the starter repair shop again. Had him bench test the starter before he put on a new solenoid I had ordered. It tested just fine, everything worked great. Before I took it off and took it to him I...

I think your beer belly and maybe some age is the culprit, as my seems to have gotten shorter also

Im sure the oil level is ok, And have you changed the oil since YOU have owned it. If not drain the oil and check for metal in it, is so drop the oil pan and look inside. May tell you what the problem is.

Well decided to abandon Gen #1, and try Gen#2. Bought them at the same time, Cleaned fuel tank, new oil and filter, new fuel filters, hit the start switch and looking at the fuel rod it jumps up so that's good. Preheat the glow plugs and it starts up in about 6 seconds. Ron it for about 30-40...

Well, got the starter back from the shop, hooked everything up and turned the start key, it cranks over BUT still wont stop cranking after I release the starter key. Had to pull off the positive battery cable to stop it. I then put the positive cable back on and everything is good, starter is...

Sounds good, NO ETHER. Thanks, on another note the battery amp meter does not move on either unit I have. Dropped off the starter yesterday the guy is working on it, has a rebuild tag of 2004 looks new inside but solenoid was sticking. I guess I am going to take off IP and clean it just a little...

Can you use either to try help get a mep-002a started. Or is it a no-no, I know you can use it on a diesel like the m923a2 but its not advisable on a cucv. Not getting fuel from the IP.

Thanks, Im off the Border once again for another 9 days on patrolling the Rio Grande, so I wont be able to look at it till then.

Sorry, No once the cable was pulled it died, put the cable back on it didn't try to start until I used the starter switch and then would stick again until the cable was removed

Hey all, New mep-002a read what I could on it before trying to start it, new oil/fuel filters reconditioned batteries installed do all the priming both pumps work getting fuel to the IP but nothing out of the injector lines. Two questions. #1 when it cranks but wont start the issue there is...

How much was the tow bill
