Seen fellows with K&B's and they always have trouble. I stay away from them and can't recommend them.
I have had several Irvine engines and they are great. Been running my .40 for 16 years and she still runs great!
I own a number of K&B engines and have had no problems, in fact they are among my favorites, especially the screaming 48 and the older 61. What model K&B are you referring to?
Search the glow engines forum and you will find that I am not the only K&B fan.[8D]

PS: Some years ago I had a K%B 40 in a Kadet that was in a mid-air at high altitude. The winglell fuselage came down vertically, striking an asphalt surface hard enough to leave a 3/4" impression of the spinner and literally shatter the K&B like a tea cup. As a joke I mailed the pieces to K&B and asked if it could be repaired. A short time later I recieved an engine with a note saying "New parts have been attached to your undamaged cylinder head. No charge.".
