    mep-005 1987 won't stay running

    pulled both pumps un did clips pulled out bead spring and shaft looks like one pump wasn't working cleaned both put them back together and put them in. big difference in the noise they make now. still get a 4 min fill on a gallon Day tank full of fuel I also cleaned the tee on top of the IP...

    mep-005 1987 won't stay running

    Yes i did pull the tee and cleaned and checked that bead/ball was there I missed this part of a thread from sewerzuk "You can check several of these things by turning the start switch to run, disconnecting the fuel line to the IP, and let it flow about 1 gallon into some kind of a catch can. It...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    slowly drops rpm's..fuel filters are new sounds like it staving for fuel ( but why now was running great) I am getting fuel to the injector pump. in the process of checking return line and other things thanks for the list and thanks for the quick responses should I move off this thread and...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    switched back to the 3 phase configuration all gauges worked got power but now it's shutting down after 20 seconds. that was never an issue before, I do have fuel getting to injector pump. guess i need to get it running before trying phase conversion again any thought why it shutting down?

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    yes it produced power before I get the 50hz at about 3/4 full rpm full rpm no difference wish it was that easy do get a little movement on the volt meter when max rpm but only 2 dashes

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Ran fine before conversion and runs great when I start it hasn't shut down on me no warning lights even after a reset only gauge that moves is the hertz when I hold the start switch up with power, max it reads is 50 hz and goes away when start is released oil, fuel, temp gauges, amp, hour...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Rewires to phase 1 now can't field to flash MEP-005 1987 phase conversion after cutting my buss bar which was under the bottom voltage reconnection board, moved all wires and put everything back (triple checked placement) and all connection thanks Sewerzuk. Fired it up but could get it to...
