installing motor tricks please? UPDATED

The motor went back in Like a Dream!
Now it looks like (almost) a Bike again instead of a pile of Parts!
Photos later today (batteries recharging) :whistle:

Now all the Little things!:woohoo:

What a great clean up. When I saw the first pics I thought you had the engine repainted.

Can you give us a short description of all the clean up steps you did?

Heres the Photos of me dropping the frame over the motor.
Worked real well and my back didnt get sore. Just wish I could upload more than one at a time here.

Thats all for a bit, enjoy ! I sure am again finally!

My lower back is getting worse as the years go by. I'll remember your method, looks very handy. I stripped the bike down because I had to replace a lot of parts anyway. The wheeless frame was quite managable by myself. I just layed a big pile of cardboard were the engine contacts the ground. The cardboard crushed in and cushioned the engine a fair bit. I also put an old ugly points cover on during reinstallation, then bolted the better painted unit on after the engine was in the frame. It is fairly easy to lift the stripped frame off the engine by yourself.
