POSTING info ive been gathering on MEP-016B AND MEP 701A generators
NOTE: I posted the wrong info in the title. It was supposed to be 701a not 017a
Ok there are some on here that are really good at finding info in the search section. So I am trying to put all of into one post for all new people or for a general help. I will try to keep this updated as i keep replacing or upgrading items in my generators.
BATTERY OPTIONS FOR THESE GEN UNITS:
A 4HN 24 volt battery.
Or as posted by William F he has stated this. I have removed the batts, and will replace one with these 2 12v in series (Napa 12n14-3A).
OIL FILTER
Wix 51378
As posted by derf
I found that the following filters fit on my 701As:
NAPA 1378
Wix 51378
Fram PH8212
They cross to 1997-2005 Acura, too, so should not be hard to find.
I believe if you look up Acura NSX you will find one that fits.
AIR FILTER:
NELSON 70307-N
Air filters:
Onan p/n 140-2183
Cummins p/n 70307-N
MFR 76700 is Cummins, Onan is MFR 44940
OK FUEL FILTER INFO:
Public Service Announcement: MEP 701/016 Fuel Filter replacement:
Carquest #86516 $6.95
Beats the heck out of the $30 + dollar filters listed on Ebay!
Here are all the cross references for that fuel filter.
