Hi all, I'm posting this here for some helpful comments, suggestions or solutions?
Rather old UGLY STIK flying along, open throttle, engine begins to open up then BANG! Dead-stik!
I haven't seen the bits but my brother says the web has broken off just below the crank pin. No pix at this time, sorry.
We're looking for an old used K & B 61 or just the crank, as they don't seem to wear at all. New part# is 17-6101 and old part# 6555. He can't get this sort of thing where he is located.
Can anybody help with any useful suggestions, ideas or leads?
I'm also posting these requirements under 'Wanted - Engines' Thanks.

Spitball I have a K&B 61 case with a crank,piston and sleeve. I bought it for parts a few years ago.
You can PM me

Ken, you're a lifesaver and I do think the 'ol K&B will think so too.
PM on it's way.

I have several of these. They are an older design "loop scavenge" engine. I always add 141ml of Sig castor oil per gallon to bring the oil content to 20%. That failure is caused by lack of oil.
