WildmanC120 613 #1 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) What are the differences between the KT and M series? Will the KT series blower housing fit a M series? Might sound weird but I like the look of the KT series better with the exposed flywheel screen spinning, like a K series over the M series with that giant screen over everything.

pfrederi 18,681 #2 Posted March 17, 2020 Blower housing would fit. Other shields are related to spec number ( Buyer) not Kt vs M. Other wise KT has battery points M has Magneto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildmanC120 613 #3 Posted March 17, 2020 So is the Magnum pretty much just a series 2 with magneto? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,681 #4 Posted March 17, 2020 Yes Depending on Spec # may have oil pressure port. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,681 #6 Posted March 18, 2020 Guess i will have to take a look at my 418 vs one of the C175s 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks So the reason I am asking this is because I have my 418-c basically stripped down to a frame. I've want a c-175/165 really bad. I love the look of the KT engine. The exposed flywheel is great. So I am gonna change the dash and tower on my 418 and get a black hood and make my own 175/165. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m still out of reactions for the day... Make sure to do a build thread on that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be easy as it's the same frame. Literally just change the dash tower for the hood you want in this case going with a black hood. I have the entire 418-c machine so have most all the other parts. Just gonna make a black hood with a magnum 18. Probably gonna do 520 steering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,681 #10 Posted March 18, 2020 Looked at my magnum. Not drilled and tapped...however 4 of the fins have a small 1/4"+/- stud like projection that may be used to hold a screen. hard to see with out removing the outer screen. Not not all M18 had the big outside screen there were a couple of styles of smaller flywheel only screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
