Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

You want solid core plug wires with a mag. Not sure if many V8's used solid core wires.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

I had the same problem as Jd59 with NAPA 700173 wires not being long enough for mag applications. Try NAPA 700175. This is the 8-cylinder set and has enough long wires for 2 set. It also has 90 degree boots at the plugs that I like better.

Sberry, those R57’s are great….when you get everything adjusted right. I have a thread on here somewhere about 10 years ago where I finally figured it all out. I’ll see if I can find it.

Here it is. The good stuff starts around post #19ish.

And to this day, 100% of this thing ever working right is due to @duaneb55

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

I got one I will get the code for, its got a mag and a vac idler. It has been sitting, it might have been shakey when I parked it and figured I would burn that bridge when I came to it. I worked on them before but we talking decades. so far I am going to clean a line and find a felt I believe? It kind of worked for a while then stays at full idle.
Let me get pic and code, this thread a bit much for me at the moment to go thru.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

The napa 700172 plug set suggested does not work on my '57 with a magneto if using the routing standoffs that make the plug wires into a neat bundle. The longest wire would not reach the mag. It is about 6" short. I did not bother to see how the shorter wires would have worked.

This sticky is a Great resource. Thanks to those who got it going.

I agree! there are a lot of these machines out there and the info and knowledge is slowly being lost to time.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

Does anyone have the excel sheet I’d like to update it and add some parts as I buy them. Orielys is cheaper, as I purchase their parts I’d like to update the sheet and tally my cost.

Thanks y'all. I had forgot what I saw or seen. I have a new (1 year) Koehler 750 on some equipment that I need the quick shutoff ball valve for. The glass filter is a bonus but the quick shutoff is important for stopping fuel from dripping into crank case thru pulser pump. I don't want to make oil out of gasoline and the ball valve makes it quick and easy to form a habit of shutting off. Also, it's easy to tell if fuel is on when starting.

I hounded CEP to the point he was ready to remove me from his WILL...........After weeks of non stop PMing him, taking him cookies, washing his truck, mowing his lawn, painting the eaves, splitting / stacking his woodshed full he finally released the following.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

A couple of SA200 items I've needed but didn't see here.
Fuel bowl strainer - NAPA 7302356
External voltage regulator - NAPA VR32SB
Both were direct fit on a 1978 black face

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

Got a response from Lincoln:. Current paint for the SAEs and Classic is Sherwin Williams # J22XXS16831-4337 pearl grey.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

So far I've seen some paint codes but it refers to an obsolete paint, Dupont Centari. Apparently Dupont is no longer in that line of business. I'll need to research further, and I just emailed Lincoln to see if they can help.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

Paint codes are in this thread somewhere.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

Silly but short question: is there a particular shade of paint that's thought to be the correct grey and/or red for repainting these with? Or will the ones for tractors as found at Tractor Supply do just fine? Looking to redo my newly acquired farm found '55 short hood with grey on the roof, doors, and frame and red for the rest.

Re: We Need An SA-200 Info/FAQ Sticky

This is a service manual link provided by Bill's Welder Repair in OKC to nearly every code # SA200 manufactured. This was on the Lincoln site at one time, but I haven't looked lately to see if it's still up.

http://www.billswelderrepair.com/fil...00_manuals.pdf

This is a collaboration of all manuals, so you'll need to reference your code # to determine the correct manual. It's a big file (not a smartphone in the field friendly size) so be patient. I'm sure by now everyone has at least a PDF copy saved to their hard drive, but if not now is a good time to do so.

And thank you to Bill's in OKC for making it accessible in this fashion.

Code on the faceplate says 6633 if that helps. It cranks and has good compression, just doesn't have any spark, picked it up for $1000, was it a good deal? Thanks in advance

I have a '68 red face Code# 6633.

There are 2 "red" faceplates for the SA200. PN M8803 covers Code#s 3418 to 5841 and M10926 covers Code#s 5957 to 7242 (our machines).

There's also a red/blue faceplate for Code#s 4149 & 4150.

Your no spark issue may just be crusty points in the mag that can be cleaned up with a little sandpaper or points file.
