Information on a K&B 40 Vintage??

Postby halfatruck » Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:13 pm

I'm trying to get some information on the pictured K & B 40 (serial number 0082968). The engine appears to have never been run as it has no fuel stains or any other use markings.
Thanks

My guess would be that it is a made up engine. The case looks like a 4011 case, but the front end is the earlier model front end. It should be a good engine, and more powerful than some of the schnuerle ported sport 40's. I don't know anything about the carburetor. I fly CL with a venturi.

This is the last version of the 8011 - the 4011 came next with a larger front bearing. This has an Irvive carburetor which was stock on them at the time.
