  • The crank switch in the engine compartment needs to be in the normal position
  • @bareaneye
    You have to have the solenoid hooked up to the wiring for it as that is how the speed is set to maintain hertz. I have three of these.....

    Noting that the overspeed fault light is lit, either the governor setpoint or the overspeed circuit were probably the cause.
  • Did you check your oil water separator ???? Holding the start/run that long (beyond 15 seconds) likely not a good idea. It doesn’t quite sound like it’s getting up to speed. Clearly if the quality of the diesel has diminished it can lead to issues as well as condition of air intake but I may be stating obvious points you are well aware of. What did you eventually discover ?

    I have a 804b that will not crank, doesn’t look like the governor control is getting power any suggestions

    I have a Mep805b the computer detects the engine has low oil pressure I change the sensor and still detecting that fault but I check and it does have great pressure. Can you help me get it running?
