K&B 7.5 ducted fan

Ordered bearings finally. Boca bearings was the only vendor that had them.

Heated the housing up and finally removed the rear bearing. Used Dawn grill cleaner to clean the engine, reassembled and it's ready to run. The custom backplate will have to be replaced first but I'll machine a new one while I wait on a fuel order.

Another.

Wow. That Dawn Grill Cleaner really works good. I’ll have to remember that one.

Silly question. I acquired one of these. Does your carburetor have a rotating assembly in it like regular glow carbs normally do for throttle? Mine seems to be frozen.

BTW this one is for sale. I have a complete fan for it too if anyone is interested, motor makes good compression.

Looooooong time, no see (here). I can take a couple of pictures this weekend.

Dawn grill cleaner is no longer sold, epa(?) made then stop making it. I'm hoarding a couple off bottles.
