Dean, I highly recommend Airparts in Kansas City area for 4130. I get all my tubing for my Wittman Tailwind Project from them. Great source for bolts/nuts and aluminum as well. Www.airpartsinc.com Rob Schmitt > On Dec 7, 2016, at 6:19 PM, Jim Chuk via KRnet > wrote: > > I have a KR - 1 t

I have a KR - 1 that I am going to part out this spring. It has a VW engine on it. Not damaged or anything, just neglected for the most part. Not all rusted though either. I wont be able to get back to it till mid March though. As far as the chrome moly tubing goes, Aircraft Spruce and Wicks Air

I don?t think I?d put the sense wire where it might be possible to arc to it as it might damage the tach. If I recall, I covered the open shield area on the plug wire with heavy aluminum foil to complete the shield path. Kenneth Jones > On Oct 31, 2016, at 11:33 AM, bjoenunley via KRnet > wr

Joe, Rob is correct about the shielding but I had good luck with the Tiny Tach after opening up the shielding on a plug wire enough to wrap the sense wire around the plug wire, underneath the shielding. This was on a KR2 with an A65. It was still functioning after 500+ hours and about 5 years

Joe, I tried a "tiny tach" and could never get it to work with my magneto set up. It really did not want to pick up the signal though the shielded wires. If you peal back the shielding you might have a chance if that is your set up. I ended up putting on a Westach gage which worked fine. PN 1

Hi Joe, I don't have any experience with these parts either, however I must ask a few questions that would hopefully help someone who knows more. I would expect the impulse signal to be something you would not read on a DC or AC setting on a DMM (multi-meter) but could be read on other types of m
