Thanks so much for the info ETN550 I am going to have to order up the rivit tool for the blind nuts as you suggested and see if I cant work that bolt out or possibly grind it out as you mentioned. I like your idea of using a punch to sort of pinch the flange to the frame rail to try and get some...

As I recall I think there was only one float. I will have to go out and take a closer look at it tomorrow. I know one of the MEP 005a has two floats one for low fuel the bottom one and the upper one for the fuel transfer solenoid. I will probably just jumper the pins over as you described D and...

Well moved the float up with the switch in the run position still no voltage to the coil, so much for the easy stuff going to have to start working on it more next weekend when I have more time. Thanks for the input.

ETN550 Thanks for the tips. I was just thinking perhaps its cause I have no fuel in the tank right now. I am going to go out right now and try that and see if raising the float allows power to go to the starter solenoid. Thanks again I will report back. lee

Nice im going to have to bookmark that place they have tons of manuals on there. I just need to find a wiring diagram now so I can track down the solenoid circuit on this thing. I wonder if there is a depot level maint manual like there is for the bigger units somewhere. Thanks again for all the...

Answered my first question with the TM appears as though the solenoid is supposed to be energized when the switch is in the run position so guess im going to have to start tracking down why there is no power to the shut off solenoid. I assume these machines have safety circuits like their bigger...

Ah thanks Jim. that makes sense the fused both sides of the convenience outlet. Looks like somebody bypassed it on my unit. Well I am going to go peruse the Tm's for a bit on this thing and see if I can learn more about the fuel shot off solenoid. Thanks for the links Jim again.

So at last I have finally gotten a bit of time to start working on my Mep-701a I picked about 3 weeks ago. So I got power connected to the DC system and it appears to be working properly. The starting circuit works fine I can hear the hour meter running in the run position and the aux fuel pump...
