Reply To: 1940 Mercury K4 Eisemann 72H

[green-thumbs]

As it worked out, the fellow who gave me the crankcase, dug up the rope plate, flywheel and magneto plate with cam/spark advance handle. Eisemann 72H magneto plate that was a snug fit to the k4 snout. Rope plate was for a Mercury
K4, interesting as I now have 3 K4 rope plates. The tank is for a rewind twin. A non
rewind tank has come to hand and will be swapped in as the rewind tank has
a motor looking for it as well as the large opening magneto plate.
The unknown crankcase led to a very interesting restoration/recreation project.
Some will call it a mishmash. Let them come up with the correct 1940 parts
That might take a while.
K4 is still a work in progress…the gift that keeps on giving .
