The handles? I would just tape them up real good and leave them in.
February 17, 2021 at 1:11 pm #231112Ya I think I will do. The reason I ask is because a couple of projects ago I got some sand in the threads and it locked up like it was welded!
February 18, 2021 at 12:43 am #231146I have avoided messing with clamp screws except
to free up those that are rusted tight.
Heat and wax work surprisingly well
LouisMarch 6, 2021 at 7:33 pm #233135Ok,so finishing up this KD4. Ran into a couple issues. When I put the flywheel on I am unable to adjust the points. They won’t move. With the flywheel off they move in and out. I have gone thru everything, I think.
Also ready to put decals on but something doesn’t look right.March 6, 2021 at 9:44 pm #233152Can’t you adjust the points before you put the flywheel on?
Prepare to be boarded!
March 7, 2021 at 1:58 am #233160Are you sure those aren’t KD3 decals?
March 7, 2021 at 7:57 am #233164No the cam is part of the flywheel.
March 7, 2021 at 7:59 am #233165Well I ordered KD4 decals. The ones with the red are kd3 but count the lines on the other two. Is that an error?
March 7, 2021 at 9:00 am #233173Solved the points issue. Human error putting them together after cleaning!
March 7, 2021 at 5:34 pm #233221So KD4 is near completion. Just need to finish the plug wires and put the badge on it. I left the prop original and I am thinking on doing the same with the badge. Maybe steel wool the badge and clear it. Any thoughts?
