I have some of these motors. I have both a 46 & 47 KD-4’s. The 46 has the Eisemann Magneto, and I have not run or restored it yet. The 47 has a Bendix magneto. It was partially rebuilt with new rings and gaskets, coils etc. Not repainted though. It runs good, but not as well as my 47 KE-4. Like Tubs said, you would spend $1000 for a motor that runs this nice and feel like you stole it. I restored mine several years ago, but only went on to run it two years ago. That was a mistake as it is such a sweet little motor. It also has the Bendix magneto. My son Kevin built one from parts from the free pile at Tomahawk two years ago. It has some KD-4 parts in it, but overall it turned out really nice. It also has the Bendix magneto. I have never seen a bracket for the fuel tank like the ones in your photos though.
