A mostly complete (no data plate, prop hub fl**ge, timer cover, or spark plugs) Kiekhaefer 0-45-1 now on eBay. The original prop hubs and carburetors for the 0-45-1 are getting ever harder to find. https://www.ebay.com/itm/257423365815?_skw=drone+engine+prop+hub&itmmeta=01KNPQQ3NV3AT3FNHTTAQRX1SA&hash=item3befa0d6b7:g:vHUAAeSw4J9pxu5-&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCiEyAQC3NgBf1kyJwxRqrYU0zFZ9Cs5U9PFse3xHdp3vFGgla0UWzGch0MqoI1B9Aq0kHYIh0DEXY%2Bg2PMjuAdS26tQvEMnlFXMCR8Oo1PNrmqI8oo%2FRz06iasfWQJcM%2B2YvX4DSc9RV5vutkbNkHuk1ir27SWmnjeOo%2FWy9R3ReCAHvIZYmC65St8LNxZlBRMHa5zjpIZB1YiOwFM%2BpKTTZOfHWi2zZQofVBAutzS23WGuH%2FGC3Y5sdNi2lP5PSI%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5K73NetZw

Spark Plugs for the WWII Drone Engines:
The plug specified for the Righter/Herkimer 0-15-1/2-GS-17 and Righter/McCulloch 0-15-3 engines is the Champion 6-COM-62. The plug specified for the Righter/Kiekhaefer/Menasco 0-45-1 engine is the Champion R-1 or equivalent. I've used the 6-COM-62's and R-1's interchangeably in all three engine models as well as a non-standard AC plug. As long as it is an 18 mm plug with a 1 inch hex and there is sufficient clearance between electrode and the piston crown at TDC, I suspect any non-resistor plug will work in these engines.
