Yip D.I.Y. like cynic " cudna afford garage fees, started helping older mates at 16 , removing engines, [1970"s cars blew engines no end] i stuck to the same make,[ Viva"s] coz i knew every nut and bolt, on a sat morning after a night in pub, had a engine to shift,
Undid all bolts cable etc, stood on the inner wings , coupe of old fan belts round engine mounts , lift engine on to front pannel, then jumped on ground , bear hug, and thew old engine to the side , All before my mates appeared to fit replacement , had her running by 11am,
The good thing is , you pick up so many tricks, i think bikes are great [ pre electonics] eo work on, as thers plenty of accessm
wiring is still a mystery, after shifting engines on the TS250, i have no headlight, and the red/white wire from rectifier is unplugged,
hve looked at 3 diagrams, and thers no socket [ red/white] for it ,
