Mike, as someone who very recently bought a fixer-upper as a first house, I can tell you firsthand how much it means for my dad to spend his time on this house with me. I don't take that for granted, and I'm sure your son doesn't either. As a side note, my house came with a worn-out barn I've b

To anyone who’s interested, I found the diaphragm/gasket set used in the Ellison EFS-2 throttle body. The part number is DG-3HL, and I found a lot of small engine/chainsaw repair places had it for sale, as well as Amazon. > -Original Message- > From: "Roger Bulla" > To: "KRnet" > Subj

Roger, I went ahead and ordered that one. It showed up today, and appears to be much too large for the EFS-2; probably fits the EFS-3. I’m going to try and make it to my local tractor and auto parts store and see if their catalogs have dimensions. The Tillotson HD diaphragm set has an o

KR> HAPI Accessory Case, Alternator, Flywheel

2017-11-05 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Hey all, I have the accessory case from a HAPI engine with a bottom-mount starter, as well as the flywheel and alternator setup to go with it for sale. The flywheel ring gear got chewed up so I removed it, but aside from some superficial scratching everything looks to be in good shape. These cam

Noel, It’d be a shame if that boat really isn’t up to snuff. I might have someone else take a look at it before you write it off, because that’s a big step backwards. Your KR is right about where mine was when I purchased it, and I think a lot of builders run out of steam at about that

KR> Prop Orientation

2017-04-02 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Thanks for the responses about the pushrod tubes - since I have both already, I’ll start with the accordion style and see how they do. What should I be shooting for as far as propellor orientation to the crankshaft? My crankshaft/prop hub don’t have any kind of indexing marks, so I have nothin

KR> Pushrod Tube Preferences?

2017-03-31 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
I’m close to starting the reassembly of my engine, and I’ve purchased a number of parts to replace things that looked worn to me. One such item was a set of pushrod tubes… however, now that I’m looking at them, I’m wondering if the old ones really need to be replaced. The new ones are the accord

KR> Main Bearing Source

2017-01-07 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Alright, I’m having a little difficulty sourcing main bearings. I’m working with a Mosler 2180, and the 4th bearing is actually longer and thinner than the 4th bearing I’m seeing in just about every available set. Pictures of my bearings are here: http://kr2pilot.blogspot.com/2017/01/engine-dis

KR> Interesting Crankshaft

2017-01-02 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Hey all, I finally got the prop hub off my crankshaft. Noticed something interesting - there’s no keyway to align the prop hub. Is anyone else running a setup like that? Should that be a red flag, or a reason to consider just starting with a new crankshaft and prop hub? Matt Quimby http://kr2p
