Good evening,
Looks like a great start! Much better than I faired with my 49.  We worked on it thru summer last year and their are a lot of posts to look at.
Looked like that is a curved down kicker and should be curved up.  I dont think 49 had that aircleaner.  Check cylinder in front to see if the hole is threaded for a decompressor.  K engine would have Wico magneto.

Mine has a lot of mismatched about it.

Good luck,
Scooter

That is really looking great! Cant wait to see it done.

Good afternoon,
The K model is finally done. I had to paint it twice because I tried a different brand of less expensive paint and had orange peel when mixed to instructions and fish eye when thinned to melt good.  I use acrylic enamel with activator.  The paint shoots thick when mixed at the instructions.

I learned something with this color.  I cant wipe off the dirt fast enough to take a picture.  I have never had anything all black.  I like how it looks, but would not want an all black car.

I appreciate your help.  I may start looking for an earlier model, but I bet parts are impossible to find. 

Thank you,
Scooter

Good evening,
not a bad meter, but an open in the secondary windings. It is going bad somewhere in there.  Run it till it wont.  The Cushman coil the others recommended I buy was cheap and works great it you need to replace it.  But mark which plug wire you connect it to so you will know when you have to trouble shoot.
Good luck,
Scooter

Thank you for the reply.
Maybe that is for the three legged chair idea and was done as an attempt to deal with the welding causing the frame mount surface to not be flat. 
I may try to shim it, but I bet that would be difficult.  Perhaps the bolt is just supposed to be tightened like the others?  That is what I did when I put together the mechanical restoration to run it.
Seems odd though and I have not found a mention in manuals.
Thank you,
Scooter

Good evening,
I may reconsider the color then.  I will have to think about it because they do also look sharp in black.  I will have plenty of time to decide while I clean parts up.

Good evening,
Attached are images of the K model I (and also you for helping) have been working on.  This is where I wound up with what I have and figure it is time to move it to the restoration section.
I planning to paint it this year if time permits. I typically fix bikes up nice enough to where I am reluctant to ride them anymore, but I plan to ride this.

I prefer it be more correct, but for now, this is what I have.  The tail light, seat pan, kicker, flywheel cover and rocker pedal are wrong.
I could easily make a correct rocker, but left this one that is Late L ratchet with the K and early L detent cup welded to it as part of the history of this bike because I believe a owner did it years ago to solve a problem.

The flywheel cover came with the pile and appears to went to a model that did not have a hole so no kicker.  Since someone already put a hole in it, I used it and made a pinion cover for it.

The seat pan is 40's Harley and a little big.  I may cut it down, but if I leave it original size and stitch a cover for it, at least I can still put it on a Harley if I get a Simplex seat.

Thank you,
Scooter

Thank you for the pictures.  I will post pictures of what I finish the controls out with this week if I am able to finish.  The shop gets too hot sometimes.

Thank you,
Scooter
