Yes I know about the 400 cycle thing. I learned it from Mangus. I don't plan on using it much. I hope it will run a few lights in my Little pop up camper for when we go camping in unimproved areas. Other than that I got it because it is rare and looks cool but I don't plan on using it much...
I just bought a new genset. I believe it is a XLA115. It was built buy homelite for the US Mobility Command. Anyone know where I can find the TM'S or parts (for future reference) for this little unit? Has anyone ever seen one of these before? I don't know what I would use it for but I thought it...
Mable
This truck was adopted by the forest service back in the 70's and was there through the mid 80's when it was adopted by a county fire dept. It was retired from service in the 90's and bought but one of the firemen that used her. When I asked him about the name mable he said that when they...
I put the motor in that I got from BFR. Hooked the Mep 026c that I got from Howards for 50 bucks to the battery cables since I don't have batteries yet and made a make shift fuel source by putting gas in a gear lube bottle, clamping a rubber hose to it and hooking the hose to a nipple screwed...
Thanks
Thanks for the list I am going to take it to napa and see if they can trace it backwards to the engine so I can price parts from them in the future.
carb
I have three of the Oa331 motors and some extra carbs and none of them look like that carb. They all look more like the one on the bumper on the left side in the last photo the best I can tell from the photo.
331
I have another engine here that I got from BFR so thats not an issue. I also have a place where I work that will rebuild the engine for free if it turns into anything more then a shade tree project. They have machining capabilities also. I supply the parts and they supply the labor.There is...
I have an OA 331 that i want to rebuild. I pulled it out of my M49 to swap with an engine I got from BFR. I want to rebuild this one so I can have a spare. The one I pulled had all the main caps busted and the bearings where toast. Looks like the oil pump failed. My question is, does anybody...
adapter
There is only one threaded hole on the bottom. the other hole is deeper in the cap and runs out to the hose with the fitting in the end. The other hole comes in at an angel and is only threaded on the inside at the end but runs all the way through. The opening that the holes are in is...
I bought an adapter to run my gensets off of jerry cans. Does anybody know how they work? I looked through all of my TM's but could not find any info on them. I think there may be a piece missing. There is a threaded hole in the top, there is no pick up tube, and the main line comming of the top...
331
If anybody needs a complete engine rebuild gasket kit or any gaskets for that matter, get on Ebay and search under REO. There is a guy in Chicago that is selling them. I asked if he knew what they fit and he didn't so I took a chance for 30 bucks and I when I got them all the gaskets were...
Does anybody know the FSN number or any other numbers for the rebuild gasket set for the OA331 gas engine in the older gas M35. I need to know this like real quick so please help. Thanks
