KT Series VS M Series?

Recommended Posts

WildmanC120

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.

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.

So is the Magnum pretty much just a series 2 with magneto?

Yes

Depending on Spec # may have oil pressure port.

Cool thanks.  

 

Only issue is I don't think the magnum flywheel is drilled for the screen to mount on it

That would work. 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.

I’m still out of reactions for the day...   :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

Make sure to do a build thread on that!

Sure I can do that.  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.

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.
