    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ray, There were times that the 15 & 30 were very hard to bleed out the air from the fuel system. After the Day tank, its all gravity fed. E-Pumps only feed the day tank. So from the day tank to the IP, needs to be looked at closely sometimes. Yes the check valve needs some pressure to open, but...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ray, Was writing a long thing about the IP when you posted again. Oh well, fingers needed the exercise. Are you talking about Figure 79, Cover, Item #8 and gasket, item #10? If so, then go ahead and order the front main seal, item #11. Might as well, cheap insurance. The white engines, for...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ray, Here is how the whole thing functions. 1. When the S2 is in the start position, or 2.S2 in the run position, (engine NOT running) and the S7 is flipped up, or 3. S2 in the run position, (engine running) your two electric fuel pumps, (B2 & B3) are energized. And they stay energized. At...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Keep in mind, and I think its even written in the TM, that when you time the pump and put it in, if it doesn't start, your probably 180 out. Simply unbolt the IP and slide it back. Turn the pump until the lines match again. and re bolt it up. The bracket up above, that holds all the injector...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    If the plungers were stuck, that could have been the problem. The crud is not helping. Can not have come from the army this way. Most of the time we got new pumps, and the old one went back to the manufacturer. The ones we got from the German rebuild shop in K-town, looked better then the new...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    The absolute last thing I can think of is the someone else pulled your IP out, and put it back in 180 degrees out of time. Hook everything up, pull the last injector line off and turn it over. If you are getting good fuel, it's 180 out of time. My first IP job, I screwed up got the IP back in...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ray, If everything is hooked up again, and you take the small plate off the side of the IP, where you do the timing, turn on the electric fuel pumps. You should get a significant flow of fuel out of it. If you disconnect the inlet fuel line, and direct it into a half liter container, the...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Thanky Ray! That should be the droop adjustment. The -34 TM has good info about the IP, and Droop adjustment, if I remember right. For some reason, lots of folks just HAVE to fool with the droop adjustment. Most never even read up what its supposed to do, just turn it. Give it a shot, and see...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Sorry it took so long to get back. The time difference makes it harder, and then I have been out of the net for a few days. Minor OP and then since the doc took some of my butt out, (not much, but enough!) sitting at the computer is "tough" right now. Yes, that stuff should move freely. Try...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Is the IP the same color as the engine? Maybe a replacement IP? As far as I can remember, the three screws were not tamper resistant.

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Test the solenoid (L1) in place. if you do not get 24 volts at one terminal and 24 back out to ground, the L1 is suspect. I have seen about 4-5 times the L1 being bad, in almost 30 years of doing this. If you don't get 24 volts, just take a wire from the starter over to the L1. Should start...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Ray, does your injector pump look like this? Your throttle cable is hooked to the back side arm of the IP, the front arm is supposed to be wired to the front of the set. The front arm is only used on the precise set. Edit: Also, I have seen the connection between the two arms come loose. Take...
