Makes sense that the specific tolerance of specified plunger vs o ring. I havent pulled it apart to look and feel whats actually going on. I did put my soft start on the well today so hopefully we can get a hot shower....HUAH!!!

So, I am still reading and searching about these injector pumps. I have conflicting information about them leaking and what area causes the leak. I have also read that there is an o-ring that can be replaced. So for all of you who knows these engines, knows what happens inside these metering...

Starting day 10 of running the Gen. Its still running good, still daily oil changes. Yesterday the oil did not appear as diluted. The exhaust is burning more clear than it has over the past week. Is it possible with all the Hot Shot extreme diesel treatment that there was a stuck injector the...

Update; still running. Changed oil yesterday still about 1.5 quarts higher than normal. There is no change in sound, power, or smoke production. Expecting to get grid power in the next few days. After hours and hours of searching and reading, I found a great video on metering pump adjustment on...

UPDATE FROM TODAY: we are still humming along. I believe I have everything prioritized and running at this time. The inrush from the well with the hot water heater on is more than it can handle. After the pump is running there is no problem. I am going to add a soft start to the well. I dumped...

Are the metering pumps able to be rebuilt? I have read that they are not but from real world experience is different than a Google search. Currently its humming along. Early in the adventure there was coal rolling smoke with minimal load so im thinking it worked out the issue with injector...

Thank you all for all of this information. Its been running for 7 days. Practically powering everything in my house except dryer/hotwater heater currently. I had the water hearer going yesterday but unpluggd it for added space heaters. It seems when all of the house space heatrs are on like 5...

Running the normal 190 degrees on temp gauge. Its been in the 50-75% range throughout the week with surge when well kicks on. There have been periods of black smoke. I wonder if its lots compression in that cylinder and lost power. I plan to attempt to adjust that meter pump ASAP and recheck temps.

The coldest cylinder is closest to the fan. Its 100 degrees colder than the rest. That same metering pump is turned more to the left than the rest. While adjusting the pump should it be on or off? Can it be done on to listen to the rhythm of the motor? Direct message me and so we can discuss...

Im in North MS I picked up an MEP803A 2 years ago. It had 250 hours. I added fluids and new batteries. Everything worked as advertised. I have used it half dozen times for 2-6 hours over the past couple years without noticing any issues. Due to current ice storm in North MS I have had it running...
