Thought id make a start at the front of the machine with the engine.
First job was to remove the flywheel, then the fan housing. I ideally
would of liked to of remove the silencer, however it is fused to the
cylinder outlet in a big way! So instead had to remove the timming
chain cover and jiggle every thing off in one lump.
At first glance the piston doesn't look too clever, however previous
experience tells me that with a light polish and a hone of the cylinder
the engine will run just fine.
Will have to give the aluminium a big clean up tomorrow, then I can
start reassembling it all once ive obtained some more thin gasket paper
to remake a couple for the engine.
