Dave,
I have a 4kl at home but I'm wintering in Arizona. Will be going home next week . I have a manual and a service manual. If you have not had any luck by next week maybe my manuals will help. I'll email you when I get home. You might contact kk5dr as he has lots of experience with the 4kl .
73, Jim/ w0hfg
