Cool! The 682 was running poorly, would only run with the choke full on. Pulled the carb and cleaned her out, reinstalled it and it runs like a champ. Didn't even need the carb kit I ordered (hasn't arrived yet). Just need to get that muffler installed. It's loud!
One thing concerns me. It likes to run full throttle at an RPM that is higher than I'm comfortable with for this motor. What should full-throttle RPM be? I'm thinking it's missing governor parts. Anybody have a picture of what the governor assembly looks like on a KT17 Series 1? From the parts list it looks like I may be missing the Governor Gear kit (#12) and the Governor Stop Adjustment Pin (#14). Maybe somebody has an old Series 1 motor laying around they don't need....
