      Working on fully restoring a KF3, as I have been made aware they aren’t the most common thing.

      Mine is looking worse for wear. It has a Scintilla mag, and it runs decently at mid speed, but struggles and stalls when I try to open it up.

      Carb is decently clean as well. I have spare Scintilla parts as well if need be. Has anyone worked on one before?

      I am guessing it shares an impeller with the Mark 6, as the lower midsection and unit look similar. Mine pumps plenty of water, so not too worried at the current moment.

      Tank has a softball-sized dent in the side, so I am looking for an ideally dent free tank.

       

      Any help with this would be great, thanks!
