The MK III flys well with 100 HP, I think an 80 HP 912 is the minimum I would want on that plane.
The HKS is the right power for a Firestar II, not the MK III. I think the HKS would be horrible on a MK III or maybe not even fly at all.

Nope, not the right answer.
Kolb marketed the MKIII with the 503 for several years, and I flew one built
to minimum weight with a dual carb 503 on it. With two people, it was slow
climbing, but better than a Cessna 152. An HKS makes more power than a 503,
so you would get performance about mid way between what you get with a 503
and a 582.
Obviously it would be much less fun than with 65, 80, or 100 HP, but it
would certainly be airworthy.

I fly a MK111 with a 503 and have done so for 300hrs . It gives a cruise
of about 70 mph at amsl .Climbs about 700 ft pmt with two up . its a very
nice machine to handle that performs very well . The only failing that I
have had is that in very high winds the ruder control is marginal. That is
in a wind speed of 30 + mph and turning into wind on short finals you need
to push the nose down and give it plenty of power to line up with the runway
Very safe very easy and know surprises .
