      The handles? I would just tape them up real good and leave them in.

        Ya I think I will do. The reason I ask is because a couple of projects ago I got some sand in the threads and it locked up like it was welded!

          I have avoided messing with clamp screws except
          to free up those that are rusted tight.
          Heat and wax work surprisingly well

            Ok,so finishing up this KD4. Ran into a couple issues. When I put the flywheel on I am unable to adjust the points. They won’t move. With the flywheel off they move in and out. I have gone thru everything, I think.
            Also ready to put decals on but something doesn’t look right.

              Can’t you adjust the points before you put the flywheel on?

              Prepare to be boarded!

                Are you sure those aren’t KD3 decals?

                  No the cam is part of the flywheel.

                    Well I ordered KD4 decals. The ones with the red are kd3 but count the lines on the other two. Is that an error?

                      Solved the points issue. Human error putting them together after cleaning!

                        So KD4 is near completion. Just need to finish the plug wires and put the badge on it. I left the prop original and I am thinking on doing the same with the badge. Maybe steel wool the badge and clear it. Any thoughts?
