    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Have you felt the pump? Was it HOT? Or just warm? If you haven't felt it, you don't know its overheated. In post 63, LITD is right. It often happens, that some sort of trash plugs up the pickup tube. The set runs out of fuel. Then the trash slowly drifts back to the bottom of the tank. And that...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Tell me, did you let a low fuel light? Also, if the set didn't turn over before switching the relays, and did after, you might have a relay that sticks. But I am really interested if you got a low fuel light?

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    1. If I understand you correctly, the set would not crank before you changed the K16 and K20. 2. When you hold the S1 in the start position, you have 24 volts at pins 3 and 7. 3. If you turn the S1 to the preheat position, you should get voltage at S1, pin 1, but no place else, so that's...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Is this set new to you? Have you ever seen it run right? Have you downloaded the TM's, and maybe looked at them? Can you work with schematics? If you look next to most components, there should be printed the component ID, like S1, or FU1. Have you started with the troubleshooting diagram, in the...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    If you can get a heat sensor, (help me out people! I cant remember the english word right now!) to read the temperature of the exhaust manifold, you can quickly determine if a cylinder is firing. You can also get a compression checker, (there are good ones that are not real pricy. It should have...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    If I may, there are way too many people with problems here in this thread. Or maybe my old moth eaten brain cant separate it all. Customload and Lawman21, please start your own threads. That way just YOU get some valuable help. Just for you. You don't have to try and separate it from someone...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Download the TM's. They are here in the TM section. All the TM's you need to fix this problem. Start with the troubleshooting diagram. First troubleshooting problem is "SET FAILS TO CRANK". I guarantee you, if you use the books and take your time, you will find the problem. Had you used the...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Perhaps you need to download the TM's and go through the troubleshooting. Changing parts is not the answer. If you can jump across the starter and it turns over, it ain't the starter. So what tells the starter to start? The start switch, (S-1) or the dead crank switch, (S-10). If it won't start...
