Lloyd,

The first thing you should do is adjust the Pre-mixer and RF Bandpass 
filters for the 20 meter band.  See the K1 manual for the adjustment 
procedure.

If that does not bring the output up to at least 5 watts (when using a 
13.8 volt or greater power source), then suspect the 22MHz crystal used 
for the 20 meter mixer.

73,
