Reply To: 1941 Mercury KB-1A Rope Pulley

[Buccaneer]

Bill, thanks for looking at the rope pulley. From what I gather Louis is saying, that mine is put
together correctly, with just the one 7/16″ nut on top of the rope plate, compressing down
on the big tin spacer. Correct or not, I’m not fond of that design.

Louis, I would have liked to run the KB-3 longer today, but tuning outboards
in the winter in MN is problematic, but the poppet valve carb seemed
to be “doing it’s thing” okay. Evidently my coil swap has issues.
I used an old OMC coil I had, that tested good on the Ohm meter.
Perhaps I should have put it on the Steven’s tester.

Prepare to be boarded!
