Re: 1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

Jim, I forgot about this thread! I might have mentioned this elsewhere, or told you directly, but my memory is shoddy. I had the gauges restored by Kocian back in 2010. The tach gauge had three posts on the back. Two of them were labeled on the back plate. The third one was labeled on the side of th...

Re: 1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

So, the adventure continues! My wife and I took her out today, with my wife driving and I played mechanic. Overall, it was a success. We had a blast! The temperature was rock solid (see previous posts) and she purred right along with the new points and coil. Once we got up to operating temp, I had t...

Re: 1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

I went out yesterday and fired it up to set the idle and check the dwell/gap. She fired right up, but as we dialed in the idle speed she started stumbling. It got worse and after a few minutes the coil was red hot and the distributor was hot as well. She finally wouldn't run at all. The points seeme...

Re: 1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

There is an issue with the smaller distributor kits. Jim, Grrr, of course there is. If I remember right, the boat came (when I got it anyway) with the smaller 4149A. At the time, in 2010, Pertronix didn't have an Ignitor II available for that distributor. (That might not be true, as their website i...

Re: 1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

Which distributor do you have? I'd put the points back in and see what happens. I knew, knew, knew that this was going to be the answer. The only reason I posted up is because I thought that JUST MAYBE there was some other issue. Nope. IGW-4149. I replaced the Pertronix and put in the points. Fired...

1951 Riviera KLC Ignition Stumble

Hey all, I'll attach a video of my tach meter. https://youtu.be/bPOnvnEK0SQ I just replaced the ignition components with a Pertronix Ignitor II, new wires and coil. Once we got the idle dialed in, she fires up quickly. But, you can see from the video that there is a stumble or miss. I'm not seeing a...

Re: KLC Numerous Issues

Also, the valve adjustment went pretty well. Kind of a pain to get to, but once you get everything cleared away it wasn't too bad.

I had one intake and one exhaust valve that were tight, on different cylinders. Everything else was dead on.

Ok, new pump installed. Cooling problems solved! I changed the old pump out for the "M" pump - Jabsco 5850. Works like a champ! Needed a few adaptors from the Home Depot, but no big deal. I was having some trouble with the ignition system, but traced it back to the generator. Glenn Chaney rebuilt it...

If you don't mind me piggybacking your string, a couple of basic KLC Carb questions I'm wondering about: 1) For the 263M model, is turning in (clockwise) lea...

This may be old news because your post was a while Ago but with modern oil’s you don’t need the oil cooler at all. That's interesting, I was wondering about that.

I don't know if it ever ran in salt water. I've only got the history going back to the 90's on it. No salt water since then, and I believe the engine was rebuilt back then. So, I'd say no on the salt water. I've re-torqued the head a few times, but thanks for the reminder to do it again, especially ...

51 Riviera Horn Ring - Rubber Insulators

Heyas! My steering wheel was restored and looks great. The horn ring is too loose, though. The three rubber insulators are pretty chewed up. Anyone know of a place to buy some, or a good method of making new ones? I'll attach a pic of the wheel if I can figure out how! https://drive.google.com/file/...
