Powertech Gen Fan Motor Replacement

Hi All,
I have a GE Motor that drives the cooling fan for my generator which I think is bad
The specs and numbers are
HP 1/2
V 115
Amps 6
RPM 1625
CPN/SPN/FPN Stock No. 3996
SKCP39MG E215ES

I have found an equivalent ( I think )
The amperage of the replacement is 7.6 as opposed to 6.0.  will that cause problems?
not sure what the 48 frame refers to?
Indoor blower motor? will it be ok sitting outside in the elements?

The 48 frame refers to key dimensions.

Frank you might look at Grainger they have some fairly reasonable prices on blower motors. you don't want an indoor motor you are looking for something similar to the blower in you outside AC unit.

Hi Dub
Yes we were fortunate enough to find a spot today in Kerrville.  Water and electricity since we got here at 1000.
