3 - Engine dropout

 

The following Saturday - decide to drop out the engine. Pretty straightforward, just cut or saw through the cables as I'll need new ones anyway. But, - missed the flamin' choke cable and when engine dropped it broke the carb top casting - damn!

Engine out doesnt look in bad condition - just a lot of tar and gunge underneath, no damage. Whip off the wheel, exhaust and other bits and hitch it up on to the bench. Casing nuts come off nice and easy, all studs intact, no stripped threads.

Off it pops -. that chain looks a slack - in fact its too long - has worn a groove out of the casing bottom where it must slap up and down! Thats it for this weekend though.
