    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Thanks Ray, I would have to pull the pump apart to check for the plunger , it turns and moves in and out. I can put a new delivery valve spacer and spring and see if that cures the problem. Let me know what I need to do to get in touch since, pardon me but, I don't know what PM stands for.

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Well I am not so lucky as the spacer will not hold the valve in place it just drops down. And the spring may stay in place in the cap but since it didn't last time I assembled it that is why it bent. Valve dropped down and spring didnt catch the top where the needle pin has a locator. Using the...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Yes, I have 7' of reach and can hold fuel lever up and crank at the same time. Tried that with no change in smoke or start. Lever and solenoid move freely to full up position when cranking. But a reoccuring problem, the starter quit working. I'll have to renove it and rebuild it possible put a...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Ray, Both batteries are new 27 series larger than needed . Powered glow plugs for 1 minute Then prime/start. After several attempts now no smoke. IP throttle linkage moves up about an inch when I energize starter. I'll have to check glow plugs but still may be a fuel issue. I worked carefully...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    I straightened the spring. I see the spacer it is brown but still in the recess in the pump. Used grease and reassembled it. Now have fuel to injectors and tries to start and some smoke but wont just kick to start. Very fast turn over some smoke then no smoke and slowed down a little. Let it sit...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Ray, I removed the 1" cap and checked the piston Wednesday. When reassembling I put a little red grease on the delivery valve assy as it kept falling out of the piston hole and put spring back in 5/8" cap and tightened it. Upon opening it today the spring is bent at one end. Straightened it and...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    #1 yes fuel to pump. #2 yes some fuel comes out of pump with lines removed. #3 piston turning and moving in and out. #4 pump has a screwy under it so guess its a Bosch PSU pump.

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Sorry Ray 70 my mistake, thank you for input on starter/solenoid lever. Ok, turns over now, have fuel to injection pump but not to injectors after many starting attempts. Solenoid lever is lifting upon start, piston in pump moving freely. Not sure where to go from here.

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Scoobyshep, you hit the nail on the head. Yes it was the solenoid pivot point locked up in gear. Starter could not be removed without removing fan shroud so lubricated it in place. Smooth return spring tension now. Then did injector pump plunger check, works fine. Wants to start but injectors...

    MEP 002A STARTING ISSUE

    Have a 002A generator. Sat for a couple of years. Cleaned fuel tank and pump screens and attempted to start it. Pumps run and fuel solenoid clicks only. New batteries so put 24 volts to solenoid start wire and had a big spark at the battery. Now found out the ground was not connected well...
