    Universal 5432 exhaust elbow parts?

    I've been working on engine overheating issues due to low raw water flow in a 1980 38ft with the universal 5432. I've already cleaned the heat exchanger, replaced hoses and flushed the system with barnacle buster. Last piece in the system is the exhaust elbow. Photos here: Finally got that...
  2. Replaced the Universal 5432 Engine Mounts

    E381 Replaced the Universal 5432 Engine Mounts

    Since taking ownership of my E38 "Kiwi" a few years ago I've been looking at the old rusty engine mounts and dreading the thought of having to replace them so they have been low on my to-do list. However, after installing a new Force 10 stove two seasons ago I started noticing a rattling noise...

    Universal 5432 - Parts and fuel lift pump with primer handle

    Just spent some time at my local Kubota parts dealer. Learned the Universal 5432 is based on the Kubota V5101 also used in the Kubota L345 Tractor. Most engine components are available direct from Kubota parts dealer, at a much reduced cost than many marine supply alternatives. <?xml:namespace...

    Does anyone know ratio for 5432 w Hurth HBW-100

    Does anyone know the reduction ratio for M-40/5432 engine /w Hurth HBW-100 transmission. I ordered a new three bladed prop awhile back, and I think I'm slightly overpitched as I can't get tach beyond 2150-2200 rpm. Below is an exchange I had with the prop folks. I guess most succinctly, is the...

    Universal 5432 starting issue....

    Hello All, I replaced the engine in my E38 with a used 5432 this winter and although the "new" engine runs great there is one small problem. It starts instantly when cold, or even hot if I just shutdown and restart in a few minutes. If I go for a 2-4 hour sail and then try to start the engine...

    Universal 5432 information

    I learned a bit about Universal 5432 engines during my recent re-power project and figured I'd write down what I know so maybe someone else won't have to chase their tail like I did..... Universal 5432 are based on a Kubota engine, specifically the V1501 model. Actually, Universal just bolted...

    Ever remove the head from a Universal 5432?

    Hello All, Down at the boat today checking on her, etc. and noticed something I thought I saw once before. On a Universal 5432 engine the thermostat housing is bolted to the front of the cylinder head. When the head is installed the mounting boss on the engine block for the coolant pump is...

    Universal 5432 Fresh Water Pump Replacement

    The following is FYI for 5432 owners. The fresh water pump (that's the one that circulates the engine coolant not the "raw water pump") began to leak on my 1981 E38. I was concerned it might be the bearings being near failure so wanted to replace it. The cost of a Universal replacement from...

    E38 with 5432 - Normal rpm and boat speed?

    Recently noticed our E38 seemed a little sluggish under power, GPS indicated 4.7 knots with the throttle wide open... relatively slack water and calm conditions. Engine seems to run fine but rpm will not go over 2100 rpm. Linkage adjustment seems ok, there is no more room to push the...

    Electric Lift Pump for 5432

    So I'm thinking I want to carry a spare electric fuel pump for my New England cruise but I can justify spending $160-$260 for a direct replacement Facet pump. Knock on wood the original pump seems to be holding up just fine but its one of those things that if it goes I will be engineless. Short...

    Universal 5432 / M-40 Running Cold???

    Hello All & Greetings from the Great White North! Well here is a twist! Contrary to the usual complaints of a 5432 running too hot, the latest oil analysis I had done back in Sept. indicated that we had an increased soot level & that the engine could be "AFFECTED BY A/F RATIO, INTAKE...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Universal 5432 Concerns/Questions:

    Experienced a fuel problem this past weekend --- engine stalled shortly after powering off the mooring. Looking at the primary filter (RACOR glass bowl type) it appeared air was entering the system - I traced back to the fuel tank where I found the dip tube had cracked right at the fitting...

    Universal 5432 air intake upgrade

    Hello All, A while back someone here was asking questions about air filters on Universal engines. At the time I figured that whatever Universal thought appropriate to install on my 5432 was fine. Upon inspection, I have reconsidered that position. The factory air intake "horn" is a funny...

    Universal 5432 raw water impeller kit/part#?

    I disassembled the raw water pump today to replace the impeller. The part number, IIRC, Westerbeke 33100 is not the correct impeller. Both the manual and the other spare on the boat were also 33100 so I am confused as to what pump I have and why the PO would have the incorrect part and part...

    M50 heat exchanger on 5432?

    I am looking to replace the older heat exchanger on my 5432. I know there is a replacement/upgrade to a 3" unit from the newer M40 model but I am wondering if a heat exchanger from an M50 will fit? According to my research the M40 unit is 3"x13" and the M50 unit is 3"x17". I can check the...

    Universal 5432 on E 38 dies at mid to high RPM

    Cruising along at 1800rpm/6.5 kts in open ocean (10mi from shore) my normally very steady running engine starts to "hiccup". A small drop in RPM and then it comes back to where it was. 20 mins later, the same thing but slower to recover. Then again 10 mins later. And eventually it dies. Pop...

    Dreaded Universal 5432 running hot syndrome [Master Thread]

    Hello All, I never motor very far, maybe a half hour or so at a time so I never really work the Universal 5432 in my E38 very hard or long. Well, I had to motor for about 1.5hrs on Monday to get where I was going and the engine ran pretty hot. Normally I don't run much above 2200rpm as I don't...

    Universal 5432 Water Pump

    FWIW, I recently purchased and installed a new raw water pump from Moyer Marine Universal 5432 diesel. Moyer sells a direct replacement water pump for the Oberdorfer 202 ?M series pumps. The casting for this pump is nearly identical to the 202 7M so the bolt holes line up properly. By...

    Universal 5432

    Ted, I changed the Oberdorfer pump for a Sherwood. Original one needed rebuilding and the Sherwood has higher capacity for better cooling. Mechanic friend told me the Oberdorfer is a better quality pump (bronze vs. cast iron) Also I think there is an optional taller cam that will make the...

    Speed Control Plate for 5432 Universal Atomic Diesel

    Hello, I have 1986 38' 200 with the 5432 Diesel above. I've broken the throttle bolt going through the speed plate, which is at the top of the govenor (I believe that's what it's called). I've ordered and received the new bolt and related parts for the repair. My question is has anyone...
