Need KR Wilson help
I purchased a KR Wilson machine to undercut the commutator on a Model A generator. AM I missing something or can someone tell me how to attach the armature to this unit? I also purchased a compressometer from KR Wilson and am unsure of its use. It appears to use air compression for reading . Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Need KR Wilson help
Post the KRW model no. and I can look it up in the original catalog. The compression checker is a standard unit normally kept with the KRW tuneup machine cabinet. You put the correct rubber bushing for what spark plugs you are using so it fits the hole, pull the handle down and crank the engine over when you are done, press the valve core and it lets the pressure off. That tool was used most commonly with Ev8s.

Re: Need KR Wilson help
Thanks Larry... I thought that it would only fit the powerhouse generator. Perhaps someone will want this tool since all my Model A vehicles do not have a powerhouse generator.
