The engine is out

All good,

After disconnecting the gear, clutch and rear brake cables, disconnecting the carb and removing the two pivot bolts from the engine, she dropped from the frame intact. Super. My major problems were removing the petrol tank to get at the carb. The previous owner had attached the petcock with a bent nail so it was a proper bugger to remove. Also, i'm pretty sure my carb isnt spec either i.e. not Dell'orto manufactured. This isnt a major problem because as soon as I get the bike running im going to slap a big fat race carb on her....
