Have you checked the stator? Might be on its way out.....

possibly a intermittent prob with a pilot jet. failing that check the electric, stator ect. the stator is known to cause headaches until its traced. been a few stator problems in recent years that have come to light.

Dont laugh, but I had exactly the same problem at the end of last week - turned out I had the choke on! (dont know how it happened as I dont need to use the choke when its nice and warm - must have caught it on a sleeve or something when re-setting the trip meter!)
Worth a check before you go ripping your motor apart!

Only getting 18v from the stator at 4000rpm,manual says it should be 25v or more.So i guess that's the problem.

Is a KR1-S generator compatible with the KR1 B2?.

Yes they are the same. I wouldn't bother buying a second hand one cause the chances are any 17 year old stator will be on its way out. Check in the KRchive section for info on suppliers for new stators
