Things are progressing in taking the Fleetwin apart.
I removed the exhaust snout to access the "wire" or
clip that Garry mentioned to un-hook the shift rod.
Interesting enough, this clip was missing.
After I removed the four water pump housing bolts, etc.,
I still could not pull off the lower unit, as the big "crook"
in the shift rod would not pass thru the housing.
Made some guesses and got it un-hooked from the
top end by driving out a pin that holds the "primary shift lever",
which fits in a notch at the top of the shift rod.
Not sure how that stays engaged the way it’s made!
I got the broken "carry handle" removed from the power head,
so now it’s time to see if the unit with the good handle has
a power head with as good or better compression!
Have not taken apart the gear case yet. That’s going
to be interesting!
