No...I didn't misspell that.
I'm about ready to swap out the motors on my trike so just tossing out the invite to anyone that wants to lend a hand. I know, it's a strange offer but never hurts to ask. It will involve unbolting the u-joint at the rear and removing it from the back of the engine...just pull out like on a car. I plan to try and pull the motor without removing the carbs, airbox, tank, etc., note I said TRY! It will be an experiment for sure. Most likely won't be until near the end of March or first part of April, mostly in hopes of warmer weather at that time. I've R&R Valk engines in the past, not difficult but is time consuming...especially if you remove everything on top first. So, just thought I'd ask...no harm in that.
FWIW...my post is legitimate for a reason; I'll be 84 in a couple weeks and simply don't have the flexibility and/or the stamina of 10-15 yrs. ago. In the past I could spend all day and half the night in the shop but now...not so much. In the past, I've changed a Wing 4 cyl. motor out in a day with daylight left over. I've changed a Valk motor in a two day period, including breaks for lunch, running for replacement bolts, nuts, clamps, etc. Now, it will most likely take me three days minimum, assuming no setbacks. Figured it doesn't hurt to ask.
