The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

I've reviewed the parts manual for the (46) 140 pages 71-75 and for the life of me I can't find info on the hose running from the baffle/plenum to the generator. Mine is torn where it attaches to the generator. Easy enough to measure the hose and replace it, just wondering if there is a part number call out I'm missing?

I"m also not familiar with the purpose of the hose?

Thanks

Cooling air for the generator. I don't think I have ever seen a part number for it, in fact, it may have never been included. Forced air is called for in the Continental manual, and I have seen it on other models. Unlike the alternator on a Cessna 150, the generator has no forced cooling.

I have generators with forced air rings on them. The rear engine baffle also has a hose fitting on it. I use 1” scat tubing.

Thanks for the information. I'll get some scat

I'm guessing you're not a hunter...

John I used to hunt but not so much now. I've also fancied myself somewhat of a sommelier, ahem. Nothing like a deep red emanating a woodsy flavor with a hint of bear scat.

Must be a Cabernet Sauvignon, or maybe even a Burgundy...
