There is a good chance that I have points and condensers, maybe new or used.

If Bill does not, I have plenty of used points and condensers...Bob
I have soaked power head and every thing feels smooth so I am not going to tear it down any furhter. I will be putting the heads back on soon and also will be assembling the rotary valve. Since there are not any gaskets used what is put on the parts before putting them back together. It looks like old style formagasket was there before. I also need a driveshaft and a coupler. The mid section is 300mm tall from plate to plate. Are these available any where. I will post some more pictures once I have the power head removed from its bath.

I'm certain Steve Litzel can supply both
Hi Dave, there are many different things to use. I use to use a 10 min. epoxy and later copper coat. Also hi temp silicone sealer and on the crankcase loctite gell coat or Yamabond. All will work. A drive shaft can be easly made by squaring off any old drive shaft on both sides to I believe 12 mm. I assume you will put on a Konig lower unit. As fat as the coupler, Konig/Konny, or Yamoto will fit. They are not cheap. I found the pipe brackets from any old Konig is the same square and be cut to size. Hope this helps.....Bob
UH are the initials of the individual that assembled the engine at Konig. I believe that the U stands for Uhlie (SP?). UH is found on hundreds of Konigs.
Howdy, I have many Konig old NOS parts for motors from 1950's to present. Some used stuff too, Just contact me at Steve77T@aol.com:D
Hi All, To set record straight, I did not live in Berlin but would visit Factory for training at least 2 times a year from 1984 to 1988. My first encounter with 8 cylinder was making crankshaft for one in 1985 or 86. To straighten one was a pain to say the least but good training for me. Now i think I can do a 4 cylinder shaft in my sleep. I had very good training on the "Konig way" to work on his motors. As a side note the man that Wayne was talking about that done the welding was from Turkey and though he could not speak english we could communicate but now I can not remember his name. During those years Deiter, Hans, And their kids all stayed at my home in Florida and one year the MRC secretary joined us for some serious water skiing. Most fun I had for years. Later that nite Hans and myself drank a bottle of Jack Daniels, The makings new of Black Russians and half a jug of Han's Martel. It was a bad day at Black Rock for us next day!
I have finished the clean up of this neat engine. I did not wish to do musem restoration so I only removed the castor build up and the oxidation. A couple of the bearings needed replacement which I found at my local bearing supplier. I still have to finish cleaning the pipes and the support bracket. Also have to solve the puzzle of how the spray shield attaches. Here are some pictures of my progress.
