Hello guys, This weekend I decided to go back to working on this 003AASK with 3 original hours on it. When I last left it, I had redone the IP and it would start up but still billow light colored smoke for about 30 seconds then gradually clear up completely. There is no blow-by pressure in the...

Hey Guy... as an update, I prepped the other matching 003A this weekend. flushed fuel system, filters etc. filled the IP with carb cleaner and let sit a couple days. Fuel pumps were both gummed up and check valves stuck, so got those pumping. Fuel tank was full of crud and had some holes after...

However, do you guys know if the TM has an...

Yes, I just ordered some parts from Ambac, so I will have some stuff on hand. I'll pull the pump out and see what happened internally. Should be fairly obvious once I get it apart. I've done a few of these pumps before, so it will be interesting to see what went wrong on this one. I'll post...

This morning I took a few minutes to check the static timing and something is definitely wrong. With the #1 cyl. valves closed and the engine set with the pointer at PC and verified a 1/8" drill fits into the notch under the small screw, I removed the spring from the delivery valve and removed...

Hello guys, I have a question regarding an MEP-003A that I'm working on. It is a machine with 6 original hours on it, has been sitting a very long time. I purchased 2 of them on a M1061 trailer from a nearby municipality. I went through the machine doing all the regular pre-start stuff, flush...
