kwt Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Buddy has a 7116 that needs an engine rebuild. He wants to rebuild one at his leisure, and then swap it in. I have a couple of starter/generator engines that are good, but his has the regular starter and generating coil behind the flywheel. Can you just swap the flywheel and housings and be good to go?

Not sure if there's the mounting spots for the alternator and newer type starter in the older castings. Depending on what's available, you'd still might have to mount a S/G and wire it as a starter only. I think @BLT can give you a more definitive answer. If it were me, I'd find a temporary spot to mount a matching S/G voltage regulator and temporarily wire in a standard S/G setup. 1

GregB Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I'm with Bill on this one. Swap S/G engine with the matching regulator. Should all bolt up. Even if it has a Kohler, then switch etc may need changed. You could check the wiring diagram from a say 3416 and then a late model 7016/7116 to see what if anything would need changed. Bill swapped a S/G engine into the chassis of a 17GTH without any adjustments to sheet metal etc.
