Tom, before you jump into a Konig, you need to look up Ernie Fisher and have a long talk. He and Dave Bonbright put in several years to make his Konig safe to run and reliable. The magneto situation is a mess in stock form, the connecting rods need to be changed out for ones being now made for the engine, and the drive setup needs a lot of attention. Ernie and Dave finally got it right, but it wasn't easy. Pruit Ginsberg can give help on the connecting rod front. Ted

even if the engine doesnt run the chassis needs a heart again
