I replaced mine with stainless steel from HDI Marine. I ordered through eBay and it was great quality and fit!
So what is wrong with the original manifold? Second query..
Pat, understood, I missed post #17.
My experience with these is that the two boots sealing the copper/nickel core to the manifold often leak, but not the cast iron manifold itself.
Really need details on exactly what was found leaking. I just sense the goose chase to find the iron casting may be unnecessary. Wish you could get your hands on the thing!!
As promised here is the update: Turns out the manifold is not repairable by brazing. The mechanic said he could try a Marine-tex putty patch.
I decided to call Northern Lights corporate HQ and get the true story on the manifold. I was told yes it would be obsolete. They try and find an alternate supplier to fill orders but many times run into legal issues. He said you could put in an order but it would likely take a year and even then you have a 50/50 chance of it being filled.
Further info - I had a rough verbal quote on fabricating a manifold from scratch for approx. $5000.
Based on all of the above I am shopping for a new generator. If I have the correct info Northern Lights no longer offers the 8Kw but does offer a 9Kw unit.
Thanks for the generator update.
I have a NorthernLights 8kw model 753W.
Did you get word as to whether they are discontinuing all parts for your genset or just the manifold?
Im parting out my old M753. I have this manifold that im going to be selling after i bead blast and then paint it. Are you interested in it?
Do you still have this part? Need an exhaust manifold/expansion tank NL-135606130Im parting out my old M753. I have this manifold that im going to be selling after i bead blast and then paint it. Are you interested in it?
