    The sticky point is the missing intake/reed assembly. Finding that unique part for a one year limited production semi prototype model strikes me as a toughie. If anyone has an extra
    intake /reed assembly I would like to hear from them.

    Are Mercury K5 and Wizard WA6 related 1940 models?
    I believe they are. Some sources state Kiekhaefer Wizards began with 1941 models
    My current belief is that Mercury K and Wizard WA are 1940 models
    and Mercury KB and Wizard WB were 1941 models

    (My best guess is that Mercury made final runs of KB3 and KB4
    up until end of nonessential civilian production halt in February 1942
    without changing to a KC prefix.)
