    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    glad to hear the motor is running great. As a side note never idle this thing you run the risk of blowing up the voltage regulator which will then require some fixing to make it work again. So did you flash the field? If not I suggest you flash the field first. Perhaps you should start a new...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    This is an excellent question. The injection pump actually runs at 1/2 the speed the motor does. So It takes 2 revolutions of the main crank for one revolution of the injection pump. So that is why the dots are important it lets you know which half of the rotation you are on. Most likely if it...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    LOL Yeah I was told the exact same thing. Um so quick question were they lined up when you pulled the pump off? If so Id say you should probably line them up again. I personally dont see why it makes any difference what so ever I mean its just turning the pump. The only thing I can think of is...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Yup that is what I did. However when I got the pump back after it had been rebuilt I was unable to get it in time properly with where the shaft was set in the timing gear hopefully you do not run into this problem otherwise you will have to take the shaft out of the timing gear to set it to the...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    It does not hook onto anything it just pushes that shut off lever into the position you found it when you opened the pump up by a spring loaded device in the solenoid. WHen the solenoid activate it moves that lever thing forward and if the fuel shut off lever is free i follows moving away from...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    The lever is all the way back toward the bell housing as was mentioned above which would be CCW. The solenoid is responsible for shutting the fuel off to the injector pump so the motor stops and can be controlled by the electrical system on the set instead of having to go over there and...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Worst that could happen I suppose you could damage some parts inside it and just end up costing more when you take it to a diesel shop for the rebuild. However you could end up fixing it too so who knows. Like I said its beyond my shade tree mechanic skills and honestly little intimidating for...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    OH well if you are competent enough to take the pump apart and reassemble it, timing it will seem idiot proof for you :) ITs pretty easy to time it if you look on the left side of the motor up at the fly wheel end where the bell housing is bolted to the generator you will notice a hole with a...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hum does not sound good. I dint think you can buy these pumps new even if you could would be an insane price. I was quoted 700 and up to rebuild mine. Delks is not selling them any more Till he finds a new guy to rebuild them for him. Your sure there is fuel up to the pump? I pulled mine poetry...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    So I circled the lever that was frozen inside my pump. The one circled in red was all the way in the off position or closest to the control panel it needs to move forward and backward free. It is tied to the one I circled in yellow they move opposite each other. Make sure it is moving freely...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    You will not get voltage to the top cover unless you are activly cranking it and then the speed switch kicks in. If you flip the battle short switch on you will get 24 volts to the top cover but cannot turn the motor over with battle short on . But you can test to see if the solenoid is working...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Well Some on here just removed the ball. I dont know why but I felt bad destroying the check valve so I just went down to our local auto parts store and bought a brass T and a brass pipe nipple and threaded the fittings from the other T onto it and replaced that entire tee with the new one I...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Yeah if you have any questions feel free to ask. I will try to answer them with my limited experience. Another update. Today I feel as though I have made a lot of headway toward getting this unit restored to what it is supposed to be. I hooked the unit up to the main panel today at the barn...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    AKA im looking at a rebuild in my not to distant future most likely :) I sort of had the same sinking feeling in the back of my mind. I priced it out everywhere around here has quoted me about 700 dollars starting and possibly could go up depending on which parts are damaged :( Will test it...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Okay well wanted to give an update. Sorry I did not post yesterday but ran out of time and did not get time to work on the unit. I spent several hours today though messing around with it. I took the top off the injection pump and felt the linkages inside where all the fuel sits the main...

    MEP-005 Fuel Injection Pump

    Hum, The knurled knob just looked like it wanted to be played with. I actually did turn it a couple of times. I do not recall which way. This was back when I was trying to get fuel to come out of the injector pump. So what does the knurled knob actually do. Is one way more stable and the other...
