I went down and looked at a KD4…powerhead had Bendix Magneto
so I looked it over carefully and also found the adapter that allowed
the snout type crankcase to accept Bendix Scintilla magneto plate.
Phelont too, if need be.
I stand corrected TWICE
Photos to follow.

KE4 with magneto mounting flange cast as part of crankcase
KD4 serial # 141483 with separate adapter for Bendix Scintilla
Mercury service tool for removing Bencix Magnet Rotor
note 7/16 x 20 fine thread nut to protect threads
Easier to avoid damage than to repair damaged threads.
Been there Done That
Edit 2 The above photos are not of the KE4/KD4
Serial # 141483 does not fall within the serial number ranges
of KD4 models posted on inside cover of the
New Parts List for Mercury Models 1939 to 1953
I am unable to give serial number of KE4/KD4 as I removed
tank without noting serial number and shelved tank
with 8 or 9 others. A low end swap meet acquisition
some years back that required a full tear down due
to outside storage…ie on junk pile.
