Some very good news to share. Mercury K4 it is. Some more of the parts were dug up including the rope plate stamped K4. Also the original Eisemann 72H magneto and flywheel.
Apparently the 1940 twins has a small mounting snout originally and the Eisemann 72H had a
small center hole for mounting that year. 1941 twins has a stouter snout and the Eisemann 72H
in 1941 had a larger central mounting hole.
In the mean time a skilled machinist Joe B had made and fitted a sleeve. Now that the original magneto was on hand the sleeve was not needed. So some time was spent removing
the sleeve and fitting the original magneto. That led to discovery that the unique cast
aluminum handle that synchronizes spark advance and carburetor butterfly rub. Bent?
I am going to work
Please bear with me on duplicate photos. I am new to posting photos
Removing photos seems a little tricky for me at present.
