Good to know, Triple Jim. I guess if it became relevant, since I have bypassed only one of the three capacitors, if I needed "quiet" operation, I could just disconnect the fuel pump without the capacitor and again have "quiet" operation. Does that sound right?

Sounds good. Thanks, again.

Doghead, that was the problem. Thank you very much for the assistance. I did as you suggested and the first regular pump was the one causing the problem. What is the best way to bypass the capacitor on that pump? I'm assuming just cut the wire in and out of the capacitor and splice them...

Thanks, Jimc.

I am trying to follow Doghead's instructions and have a rookie question: Are both of the connectors in the pictures connectors that can be disconnected? If so, how do they disconnection? Twist, pull? The fuel pump wiring runs through both these "connectors" so it seems like either of these...

Doghead, would those make sense in light of it running fine and then it suddenly stopping while running?

Thanks, doghead. That makes sense. I'll toy with the wiring to the fuel pumps for a bit. Yes, batteries were connected the whole time.

Thanks, Triple Jim. I actually bungled the description of the problem. (I have corrected it.) It should have read that the breaker trips on anything other than Off or Preheat (I said Off and Prime, but that was wrong; it trips on anything other than Off or Preheat). Maybe the fuel pump circuit?

I ran my MEP-002 for about 15 minutes this afternoon and then it stopped. Prior to that all gauges and systems seemed to be operating fine. I noticed the DC Control Circuit Breaker was tripped. Now when I reset the DC Control Circuit Breaker and I move the control knob from Off to anything...
