need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

[SCSG-G4]

Have you checked the TM that ends on "P". That's where the number will be!

Grasshopper, TM 5-6115-640-14&P would be a good place to start.

Only thing ive run into on the fuel filter from napa you need to cork gasket that comes with it. When i got mine i threw it out. Than looked at the old one and noticed after looking at ones listed to ebay they come with 2. So i spent about 2 hours and a roll of cork gasket and made my own. Im hoping to reinstall it back into my generator tomorrow. Only need to find the other gasket for the lid.

Is there a site that list TM for a MEP-016, like for my M35? Or is the only option to buy the TM's? I do have the TM's for the Head. I would like the TM for the Engine.

 

[wiccantoy]

I bhave 3 different army repair manuals for it

 

[randini]

For sale, right? How much?

 

[Isaac-1]

They can be found online as PDF's for free, at least the ones for the MEP-016b/701a can, I think the manuals for the MEP-016a and c are also out there, but none are released yet for the MEP-016d or e

Thanks Isaac-1, any idea where? I cant seem to find them.

Mep016a / 701a filter relocation questions

Searched for a while on google and here on the forum. Anyone know what if anything can be used as a oil filter relocation kit? Tying to change the oil on something That sits flat like a hond engine. Rally is no fun.....

 

[mdlbldrmatt135]

The Mep016a and Mep701a are no where the same. the 16a is a Gas engine the 701a is Diesel. you must be thinking the MEP-016b/d/e The A & C models are both with 4a032 gas engines, I'm not sure if the simple pump on those could handle remote filters.

 

[wiccantoy]

Im sorry mine is a 016b. It is the same a a 701a. Only difference is the 701 has the sound deadening housing. Which mine is.I remember seeing on here about a adapter for the anon oil filter. Just can't find where I had seen it.

 

[mdlbldrmatt135]

I just converted my a to the spin on filter..... I have the kit to make it a C as well (the upgraded ignition system) Gonna add some wheels to it as well when I can finally get time to work on them. I don'e see why if they have some sort of remote cooler you can't relocate the filter as well. the adapter hoising would probably be the challenge.

I think the one in this pis has what looks like a FL3525? Maybe?
See what that crosses to and search oil filter relocation.

 

[derf]

Since it already has an oil cooler in place you could have something made to take the place of the filter and plumb a filter into the cooler lines. You could remove the bypass valve from a filter and leave it in place and add a working filter in the cooling line circuit.
I suppose you could do away with the oil cooler adapter block (part 25) and tap the holes in the engine block for lines and then put a filter in line with the cooler.
You may be able to modify the oil cooler adapter block by milling a slot in it and then bolting a flat plate in place where the filter would normally go.

I believe the NAPA 1378, Wix 51378, and Fram PH8212 are the correct filters for a 016B. IIRC they cross to a Honda or Acura application. You may find a relocation kit for one of those cars.

It seems like a lot of work, though, for little return.

Ok went and got a oil filter from carquest. It is the one that is the same as a 97 Acura. Problem is the one on the gen unit is twice as long as the replacement one...

 

[derf]

It should work fine as long as it fits. What numbers are on the one on the gen unit?

 

[wiccantoy]

Well wouldn't upload so here is the # on the filter. 122-0602
