It's been soaking for a couple days, and I can tell it's stuck. Although I can't look down inside the engine, there must be a cam down in there that the roller on the bottom of the pump rides on. I figure the pump should move a half inch or a little more. The portion of the pump that moves with...

After taking a break from this project, I pulled out the injection pump today. I'm going to soak it in penetrant, and carb cleaner. I can't actuate the pump by hand making me believe it's stuck. My question is should I be able to move it freely by hand? When I took out the 3 nuts holding it down...

I determined that the spring should open the valve, it's just stuck. There are 2 generators on the trailer. I took the same cover off the other generator engine, and it was stuck too. Pushing as hard as I could with my thumb where the spring would push, this valve popped open, and working it has...

In trying to figure out how the IP operates, I pulled off the cover held on with 2 cap screws. Under that there is a spring, that I think should push down on a rod that opens fuel to the IP. When there is no power to the shutoff solenoid it holds the spring from opening the fuel. When I pull the...

I was going to attempt starting the generator, but when I pulled the dip stick out, water gushed out. It was full of water up to the oil filter. I don't think the engine is stuck. It moved a little. I sprayed lubricant in the exhaust and removed the injector it's soaking. Before I do anything...

I have a MEP002a that I checked to see that it wasn't stuck. It wasn't, but by turning the engine a couple inches, it's very common to damage the IP, I was told. There are no replacement parts for the one I have. I haven't moved this engine yet out of that same fear of damage. I know they are...

What I'm concerned with more than the anything else is the IP pump. Seafoam could help but the tight tolerances inside the pump keep it out if it's stuck. I had a stuck pump on a JD tractor, and there was nothing that could be done to even get it apart. The shaft was sheared on it. I will look...

The rain slowed so I removed the tarp for a closer look. The throttle actuator moves freely and the cold start button does as well. Is there a test I can do, an inspection possibly, that would show that the IP is stuck or not without removing the IP? I did find where the dip stick should be. If...

Not sure but from reading other posts, if you can move the plunger...I'm thinking throttle, it's not stuck?

Probably about 18 years. Mice liked the fiberglass insulation, but after vacuuming that out it looks like new in there. One generator has 199 hours, the other 56. I saw another post where it was noted that if you don't make sure the IP is free you will damage it if it's stuck. I didn't want to...

The plate on the engine says it's a F1L 208 F. 7.8 KW at 3600 RPM

I have 2 of these on a trailer. What I'm concerned with is the injection pump on each. They have been sitting along time unused. I noticed in another thread on these generators that the single cylinder Deutz diesel injection pump should be checked to make certain it moves freely. How should I do...
