I looked and looked for a airfilter for this getset. I finally gave up and decided to modify the filter can. The WIX#546257 is the best fit for the original. I had to remove the outer centering ring in the filter housing to make it work. I also made a centering plug for the cap end of the filter.
I'm also looking for a oil cooler and a throttle cable. Anyone have a lead on these parts? Thanks,

On the oil cooler, check ebay for a Hayden oil cooler, I am not sure if its a match, but it is listed as Onan NOS part, looks like the drawing in the MEP 016B tech manual. If you buy one and it is a match let me know, I may need one for my MEP016B I have a fine mist of oil coming out of my blower not sure where the leak is yet though

p.s. the part number is a match

Thanks, guys. Yea the saturn cable is different. And i'll run through ebay. That's the same problem i'm having. The cooler had rubbed from vibration and a fine mist is blowing through the cooling air. After a dissembly and good pressure washing i found it comming from the back side of the cooler.

I looked up the guy on ebay and that cooler is a dead on replacement. It has the same part number as the one on my unit. I got some other goodies from him as well. And i got a email from him this morning with the original air filters for this unit. He has plenty of mil parts.
He was very helpful and polite. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

Ken what part of your throttle cable is bad? I have one that the plastic handle is busted on. Heck, I still have the whole engine we talked about a while back... if you are still interested PM me.
