    Looks great.

    the red choke knob fuel valve and shift button are wrong should be bare aluminum.

    the red was late 40’s only. not in the 50’s.

    Hi Dave, my motor is a 1949 KE4 and the fuel shutoff knob and the timer handle don’t show any hints of red and the choke knob is a repro just the bare aluminum. Are mine supposed to be painted or just the aluminum? It does have the handle on the recoil.
