My personal opinion is to pull the motor down and check it, cheap insurance.
My reason: I bought a KR2 with less than 10 hours on it. Due to poor storage (not inhibited correctly) the crank got rust on it, when started the rust went through the bearings and seals stuffing them, the barrels and pistons. Cost me a new engine. (and I paid new price for the stuffed engine, we live and we learn :-) Luckily I never got off the ground with it. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 [email protected] http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 1:44 PM Subject: KR> new KR owner I just bought a KR2 that was built in 1980? and has flown less than 250 hrs.It has the original Revmaster 2100D with [you guessed it] less than 250 hrs TT. I'm not worried about the engine too much since I live close to the RM factory in Hesperia, Ca. What I'd like to know is if there are any KR owner/builders in my area [Palm Springs,Ca]....Fred
