    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    For now continue letting the IP clean out, but keep an eye on things, without the shut off solenoid you'll have no idea if it's overheating or not. If the hunting continues you may need to make a slight governor adjustment.

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    Probably still have a film of soft varnish on the plunger components. I'd recommend setting something up to load it with then running it at a progressively increasing load for a few hours or more, with seafoam or some ATF mixed in with the fuel. It should clean up on its own after putting a few...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    You can do it without the filter. You're just using the canister and fuel pump as a way to push the cleaner into the IP. When done cleaning, replace the filter and dump out any extra cleaner in the canister. Then run the pumps a while longer before starting to get the cleaner pushed through the...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    How are the rest of the lines on the machine? If you want to replace them, I've found the www.DiscountHydraulichose.com is a great place to mail order custom made hoses at really reasonable prices. You select the hose type and fittings you want, select the length and they will be on your door...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    For the fuel hose you can either have a cheap hydraulic hose made up using the same 5/16" JIC / -5AN fittings or just use a dremel took and cut-off wheel to slit the outer crimp cover off the existing hose and pull the barbed fittings out and put them into a new piece of 5/16" transmission...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    Mudwisr, I have 2 options for you. I have the original water separator disc assembly, I also machine my own aluminum filter adapters for the 002 that allow you to convert it to a readily available spin-on filter / water separator combo. There is a link to more info in my signature. I believe you...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    On an 002 the fuel water separator is not a replacement part, it's just a stack of aluminum discs inside the canister, no filter etc. Are you missing the entire assembly, or were you expecting to have an element in the canister that needs to be replaced?

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    Your stiff IP linkage means the IP is gummed up internally. Luckily it sounds like it is just gummy and you did not break the plunger guide by starting it up like that. Seafoam is a good idea, but could take some time. I personally would remove the fuel inlet line and pour Berryman's B-12 or...

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    Actually the way it works is the governor solenoid is only there to KILL the IP, not to turn it on. Without the solenoid in place and with the engine off the fuel flow will be wide open. When the engine starts the governor will bring the fuel flow down in accordance with where the throttle lever...

    NOS oil gages were available on ebay not long ago. It is possible that yours will work once you start it. Just because it isn't currently at zero doesn't mean it's totally frozen.

    Mep-002a fuel shutoff solenoid/manual shutdown?

    Yes, just push down on the linkage at the IP. That's all the solenoid does..... Just keep in mind that the solenoid also shuts the machine down in the event you loose oil pressure or overheat, so without the solenoid those 2 safeties are being bypassed, so keep an eye on it!
