Well, it if the crank and #2 cylinder from the motor in my cub are ok, then I think I can make a complete KT17 series II from all of this?
Upon dis assembly of this unit, it became a couple of things became apparent. The reason it had low compression is because the rings were stuck in the ring grooves on the pistons. That was because water had gotten into the motor. Each cylinder has some rust in it, #2 is pitted beyond honing. But other than that, it had very little wear showing on the piston skirts or cylinder walls.
The cranks is tapered, so I hope my old one is ok.
