KR> KR2 with C65 Engine

[Benjamin Copeland]

I've been looking at a KR2 with a C65 engine which means hand-propping . 
 Does anyone
happen to know if the motor mount for a C65 will work with a C85 or 0200? I'd 
like to work towards gettin
a engine with a starter and more HP if possible while using the same mount. 
Would weight possibly
a problem with the C85 or 0200?

Yes, the mount will fit the whole small Continental series.  However, the
mounting pads are different for the O-200 and will move the engine
forward about 1".  The C-85 will bolt up with the same parts.

There are other "Gotchas" in mounting up an engine with starter and
Alt/Gen depending on which accessory and mount you have, but they can and
have all been resolved by people here on the net.

I would add that the book numbers between a 65 and 85 or O200 is about 35
lbs. with the starter and generator accounting for 25 of the 35 - you can
cut into that by going to after market starters and alternators (B or
Sky-Tec). The aircraft's W will determine if that extra weight is feasible
or not.

Oh and add another 20 lbs. minimum for battery, wiring, voltage regulator
and wiring.
