Starter change over?

[JOHN SCHUTTE]

Is it possible to change a K301 with a S/G to a Solid State Charging System? Is there a conversion kit or parts list to do this?

I've done it on my 109 but you need a wide frame to make room for the larger flywheel and fan shroud!

[JOHN SCHUTTE]

This engine is going in a 1250 frame. I know I need a starter, flywheel, shroud, and stator. What else is needed to do this conversion? Is it just a bolt on and go or is there some mods that need to be made?

[104strad]

You will also need the bearing plate that the stator bolts to and a regulator. I am glad I converted mine, I dont miss that s/g at all! Check E bay, lots of parts there.

Thanks for the information. I was curious about that plate on the back of the motor.

[JOHN SCHUTTE]

This engine that I will be converting I think is out of a 122. The serial number plate is also missing. I keep seeing k301a, k301as. k031aqs. How can I tell what engine this is? Does it make a difference on the brearing plate, stattor, flywheel, and/or starter?

[104strad]

When I did my 109 I didn't pay much attention to model numbers, I don't even know if the parts I used were from a 10 hp! I am pretty sure the bearing plates an flywheels will fit between different models, but not sure about the 16hp, I know that block is a little different. The stators are pretty much the same other than the current ratings.

[JOHN SCHUTTE]

Thanks for the info 104strad. I would still like to know the difference between the "series" of k301 motors. If they are all the same, what is with the letters after k301 on the engine tags?

[104strad]

Not sure about those model numbers, I just put a k301 in my 109 that was in a 1250, and I think it was a aqs model. By the way what happened to the motor that was in your 1250?

[JOHN SCHUTTE]

I bought it with out a motor and a few other items. 50 bucks, couldn't pass on it! It is going to be a puller/worker.
