I still have this motor... Green Gas Tank and Bottom Cowl and all...... Bendix Mag, by the way. I had always heard that the KG4 was about 15 - 16 HP. The olny thing that was done to this motor was to re-build it with pistons, rings (2 dead ones), bearings, seals, put in a sand cast reed cage, .010" (thin) reeds, and the Bendix Mag. It was fast right away. I ran it for at least 10 years, only putting on new top rings. After it wore out, I started to run a Mark 15.

When you set the ASH kilo record back in 74 did you have to be not less minimum weight for ASH of 330 lbs back then?
What was the prop shaft height you ran and rpm if you recall of course?
