The head has been completely rebuilt, compression is at 425, injectors are both new, fuel pop off at 1850psi the injection pump is timed correctly (I’m sure) the engine timing is correct as well; the governor is correct along with the governor spring and adjustment, throttle is adjusted good...
My injection valve is not sealing, I have been trying to lap it with no luck, ambac wants more than I paid for the whole generator for just the valve and seat.
Any advice for my mep 002a?
350 hours runs rough like the high pressure pump is out of time. It's perfect, pulled the flywheel to verify time is correct there. Brand new injectors and pump rebuild. It's hunts almost like the governor is not working but verified everything looks to be just fine with the balls and in that...
My mep002a phase switch was stuck and my dumb butt forced it to turn; power works but i think i damaged the switch; does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix it? it seems like i did bend it; the unit still makes power i am just not sure if i damaged anything....input?
I don't have any factory tank and was planning on running from a 55 gallon drum; can the fuel return be T back into the initial fuel feed line? I'm not sure I have a way to get it back into the drum.
Also mine is just a small drip, should it be more coming out of that line? Gen runs good.
Ran her for a few minutes and there was a puddle of oil, I was able to tighten the oil pan up it had vibrated loose a little, I could not get to the rear bolt (pictured) any tips without a ton of work?
Also I don't see a gasket below where the dip stick bolts to the block, it looks like it...
Read and watched videos, concluded my brain can't comprehend power systems.
Trying to get a 50 amp camper plug to work at 220, all I can get it to do is 110, L1 has 110 with nothing connected, the primary power book said to wire it this way so what am I missing? I only have 110
Having a off grid shop, would a portable distribution block work with my mep 002a? If so any recommendations I need as many 110 outlets as possible and a 220 would be nice.
How would I wire the gen lugs to the 50 amp plug?
No codes to wory with either.....

Mine didn't come with a fuel tank so my plan is to run it off of a portable tank or drum but the drum fitting has no return fitting, would it hurt T in it in to the pickup line? Any other suggestions on fuel tanks/setups?

Restoring an old mep002a and was contemplating repainting her, anybody had good results with doing this? If so what did you use?
Also does anybody make a new wireing harness for these gens?

Out of three pumps I have 1 that's pumping as it should, I broke one trying to adjust the 90 on it and the old primary won't build pressure.
Can these pumps be rebuilt? There really expensive! Can it run well off of 1 pump? Fuel is not far away.
I searched the net and the forum and could not find the answer, tested the oil pressure sensor and its good as well as the engine temp sensor? and it was good. My generator has no fuel tank but i'm not sure that that would trigger the shutdown of the engine. I also have read the manual and...
