Reply To: 2 motors – What are they ?

In the product description of KB1, KB1 A and KB3 the port side is shown,but, no I D plate. I believe that can be explained as follows…
The product description sheets were prepared before actual production
and likely used prior year parts to create the sample. I have seen
photos of a Wizard WB6 with a stamped rope plate and an ID tag
with same serial number. Gas tank was stamped steel like 1940
twin instead of 1941 cast aluminum tank. Only logical reason is that
it was a pre production sample made up for Western Auto approval
using prior year parts. Motor appeared in photo to have seen a lot
of use.
Kiekhaefer pre war motors can tell an interesting story.
