A follow up to my thread of this Spring – got the KF7 running this weekend after finally getting around to ordering a Bendix coil. It’s more of an amalgamation of parts than a true KF7, as sharp-eyed Merc heads will notice the short tiller – indicating it is a KE7 mid.
In addition to the ignition, I cleaned up a carb for it, too. Had to modify a cork float, sealed in CA glue to work as the original was shot. Also snapped one of the compression nuts on the fuel line – split it right down the side and I wasn’t even torquing it down much.
In any case, it runs well! Anyone have any extra T-pins for the cowling? Mine lacks the rearmost three pins.
