I won’t have to on this one, but it’s nice to know you can swap pistons from a newer Johnson.
I got the cylinder and a bunch of nuts painted silver today, and then decided to
just clear coat the crankcase. Then did a little yard work so the wife
doesn’t think I spend all day in the garage!

quote SquierKA39:

My baffles are also in like new condition, I think they are copper. I doubt that the way we run our antiques that it would ever be a problem. I intended to make it all original but since the pistons and rings in mine are from a KD-15 and I need to replace the cracked flywheel I decided it won’t matter anymore. Seem to be a few K-50’s being worked on here and on Facebook forums.

Prepare to be boarded!
