Yup.... I just lifted it out by hand. LOL after I disconnected the starter and ground wire.With all of that removed already, you should be able to just reach in there and lift it out yourself. That;s how I got mine out. Going back in though, I will probably heed a lift, since it will have the cylinders and manifold back on it
After 25 years of lifting these things out by hand my back tells me every day that I should have been using a hoist.Yup.... I just lifted it out by hand. LOL after I disconnected the starter and ground wire.
Sorry, I didn't mention that the cylinders, pipe, carbs and all that stuff was removed. My jest was that when I lifted the engine to remove it, the starter was still connected. I have a hoist and will reinstall using it for sure. Wasn't much too the engine with all the stuff removed but still easy to injure one's self. Hoist is better for sure.After 25 years of lifting these things out by hand my back tells me every day that I should have been using a hoist.
You do realize there is a cast in lifting eye on the exhaust manifold?
