| MCB Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Bay Area California   | First time fixing a KP Before getting married and leaving for my honeymoon, I had one last eBay impulse buy. After I got back, this is what showed up:     I knew it was bad, but didn't fully think about how bad it could be. Now I was going to throw it back up for sale, but after much convincing from the good folks of MCB, I gave in and did my first run at fixing a KP. Here's the outcome:     No leaks and yes it does fire. I just tested it with paint. Unfortunately, i don't have a chronograph. Question time. 1) Is using a flex-hone a bad idea? I used a flexhone for about 2 hours trying to get the leftover solder out of the top tube. Now the bolt will go all the way in. 2) What is the best way to clean up the left over solder on the top? I may just leave it for now and later have Palmer do their magic and performance tune this puppy. 3) Any idea who might have a tank bracket for a KP? I'm not much of a remote fan, but I don't want to use than 12 grams. All advice welcome. |

1. dissassemble the whole gun and re heat the joint, wiping the excess away. This would be the "recomemded" way to do things, however It can be tricky and is best done when your attachng a DF to begin with. 2. dremel tool/ files/sandpaper. This way is slow, but doesnt require that you dissassemble the whole gun, its still wise to remove the bolt and clean the gun thouroghly(sp) after the fact. Like I siad its slow, but can yeld great results, and givin that youve allready reassembled everything, this is the way I would do things. | |

As is, the previous owner left dremil marks around the feed neck. I lack the propper tools right now to do a clean job. I think what the poor thing really needs is some lovin at the field. I'll take it up to Sacramento later this month and test her out at the monthly pump game. Thanks for the advice though. |

| Mod-O-Rator  Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Finleyville, PA | Flex hone for too long might leave you open to rollouts, teh bores tend to be a bit on the large side as it is. But, then again, the over use of solder may help in that area. Leave it as it is, and wax that brass before it tarnishes. Why waste the money fixing it up and removing all the character?
