Repowering 520H

Recommended Posts

MalMac

I have got a 520H that I am thinking of repowering with a Kohler Mag.14. The Kohler came out of a 314-8 with only 130hrs on it. The question is, other than not having the the power of the Onan. Will it work on the 520? I know the wiring and the PTO is different I was wondering what else might be a big headache and is it worth the trouble.

I dont see why it wouldnt work. Maybe need a different drive belt, and of course switch the wiring and cables. You may have to modify the belt gaurd.

wiring is about the only thing that will be diff. the PTO will fit,(you might need a bottom bracket) the pulley will be the same if the 314 was a hydro, if not they will swap, belt guard is the same, cables should work you may have to shorten them, the belt is the same, heck even the 314 muffler will work for you, biggest thing is the wiring, and that is not that hard, most will work with minor mods

You'll lose a few of your gauges, but other than that it shouldn't be too hard to swap.
