Oil cooler fan

[KMA]

I was having stalling issues when warm (e.g. mowing) due to vapor lock like MR mentioned. I moved my fuel pump and lines to the other side of the engine, away from the muffler and the engine oil cooler/filter assembly on the EH72FI. I also wrapped my exhaust manifold to try to reduce the amount of heat in the tub. No more vapor lock since. :crossfingers:

Don't want to threadjack, but has anyone found an aftermarket source for a 422/425 replacement fan? Mine is beginning to make noise, and I think the bearings will soon go out on it...

TIA!

Maybe a wrecking yard might have one off a car that would fit.

The one on my 1445 is a SPAL automotive fan; for the size, it is the one with the lowest power consumption, i.e. there exist two higher air flow versions. They are available at lots of auto parts stores. If you aren't looking for an exact replacement, you could try any auto parts store for a cooling fan.
All the best,

Peter

Just wondering what the alternatives are to calling Tazewell -- which would almost certainly be more expensive than buying locally.

Thanks!

I was kind of surprised that there is nothing listed at Surplus Center.

Just go to a junk yard and find a fan that is approximate.

You should save quite a bit.

The new 16" one for the PT cost $32 delivered.

That's definitely not a Tazewell price...
