    MEP-802A fuel shutoff solenoid & fuel leak? questions

    Thank you, sir. See, this is exactly the kinda reason I told my wife I should buy 1 or 2 more... so much easier to fix when you know what "right" looks like...

    MEP-802A fuel shutoff solenoid & fuel leak? questions

    Thank you! That looks very much like what I ended up with. Follow up question: after reading both the engine & genset TM I'm still a little unclear.

    MEP-802A fuel shutoff solenoid & fuel leak? questions

    Just picked up my 1st "real" generator, a trailered '11 802A. Just finished a couple minor things to see it running good for myself so I can not feel dumb spending some money to fix little stuff. The main question: Anyone got a good pic of how the shutoff solenoid link from the solenoid...
