RE: K&B engines
I have a K&B .65 sportster in a SSE. it has been one of my most reliable engines. it starts easy, wot 2 flips with the carb covered, set throttle to idle connect igniter and 1 flip of the prop it's running. it's been the same since it was new. I'd compair it to a hot .46 motor (not for rpm's) it will turn a slightly bigger prop stronger then a .46
