Thank you for answering my question regarding the likely date of the earliest snorkels.
I was planning on making a few inquiries about getting those blades re-made, but I'm not sure if there will be enough interest. I could end up with hundreds of blades and only end up selling a few. I admit it is a very tempting idea to follow up on.
Jack, I was also asking you about the original design of the flywheel screen. At present I am none the wiser. However I have learnt that the following modern replacement parts fit the KXD-2 housing perfectly.
Tecumseh Starter Cup 590551
Tecumseh Engine Recoil Pull Start 590420
Tecumseh Flywheel Screen 590417
This begs the question, did Clinton/Tecumseh share some design features with SC, or was this entirely coincidental?
