Its a starter , K1 is pre 75 ,meaning before 31st December 1974.
The MA 2009 book reads a bit different(more bike info)page 160, point 18.7.5

Yeah, that's what I thought??
Guess they can't rattle off every bike made..... But they mention both K0 and K1 for XL350, but only XL250 K0.  :-\
Starting to wonder if I was expending a lot of time and effort for nut'n.

I believe you need the engine & frame number and get on a Honda website to find what is what,that should help you.
Yes go for it, 8)  its worth the effort ;D
I'm totally pre 75 addicted though  :P

If it has a side intake port {which yours should have} its in no problem OK. Tim 754

Thanks for that! I took the numbers down to the local dealer just after I got it and it's definitely a '74 K1.
Didn't want to find myself on the podium at the nationals and get kicked out on a rule breach.  ;D
