Local pawn shop has a used KM-130R for $239.

But they gave it to for $200. Came with the blade attachment too. Starts really easy. Haven't had time to do anything with it yet. It is moldy but that will wipe off. Looks low hour.

I can also go for another powerhead, if I wish.

I am dissambling the unit and cleaning as I go. It looks good on the outside, just dirty, moldy. I pulled the spark plug in there hopes of of seeing the piston. All I saw was a really black plug amd crown.

Well, my PC is down and my netbook backup has...reformatted itself since the last time I used it 2+ years ago. So this thread will continue to be:

For the forseeable future.

On a side note, can I or should I lap the valves on the KM-130 if necessary? I haven't torn into it yet. I plan to replace the air and fuel filters. As well as the spark plug. I want to clean the insides. Well, cause I want to take it apart really. I guess I should replace the oil seals, too. Unless I find a really beat up part, I think that should do.

I have rebuilt quite a few 4 mixes with out lapping the valves in. The valve springs on these machines are not under high tension like automotive ones. I never could see a gain from lapping them as the valve spring will probably let it leak anyway.
Very easy engines to work on tho

Apemoreton, do you have any tips for pressure or vac testing a 4-mix? Thanks!

Searching for one of my old threads and I came across this post of mine. KM-130 has been running happily since I got it. Have already used it twice this year.
