First the air cleaner was removed.
A bracket is released with the aid of flat head screwdriver.
Then the coil, which is held on the fan shroud by two bolts.
Not sure what this little electrical item is. One end is connected to the coil and the other is grounded by means of the fixing bolt.Two other electrical connections are present. One goes to the air cut-off valve, the second to the choke.
Next the carburetor is removed. I was going to release one of the clips holding the fuel line from the fuel pump but this one just seemed to come out.
As the accelerator cable has already been removed when the engine was taken out of the car there wasn't much else keeping the carburetor from being removed.Just the connection the the vacuum pump.
And these two 13mm nuts..
The some more tinware with a few stubborn bolts. I guess, at least it makes it an easy decision to replace the fitting or not!
Fortunately some of the tinware was covered in oil from the engine which made removing a breeze.
This is the left side of two pieces.
The thermostat has a retaining bolt that needs to be removed first. Then the thermostat is rotated counter-clockwise so that it unscrews from the push arm.
Next the fan belt had to be taken off. These nut and washers held it on.
Once the fan belt was removed I returned everything to the generator just to keep it safe.
Last couple of things for now was the fan shroud which just had two screws holding it in place. Unfortunately one of them misbehaved as can bee seen here. It was not great trouble to remove but some careful tlc of the shroud was required.
These particular bits of tinware sit on top of the engine in the position shown here.A couple of small bits of tinware also existed below this but having spent there life covered in oil where no problem.
And then it was time for dinner....
