      Hi,  Picked these up at an auction last fall.  Can someone tell me what year the small one is ?   Also, any good recommendations on trying to get these started ?  (Reading material, etc. )    The small one has compression, not sure about the K50 as I dont have a pull rope yet.    Thanks for any help, Im green at this hobby.

            The AT10 would be 1940.

            Looks like the K50 is 1933, according to this serial number chart,
            but I would have thought it a little newer.

                Serials 128001-152777 are, 1930, 8hp
                Serials 152778-161326 are 1931, 8hp
                Serials 161327-167430 are 1932, 8hp. These are the last opposed “K-” models.

                The first “stacked” K-models debuted in 1933 with the K-65 @ 9.2 hp. Racing models were 12hp.

                The last K- models were sold in 1936 @ 9.3 hp. A KR-1937 but I don’t know if it was a variant of the K- models or the newer KA- series.

                I have a 1934 K-70, purchased new for my family’s Camp Sunnybank in the Adirondacks. It still runs.
