The ole Eldo is in need of having the motor freshened. I'm accustomed to taking motors out of Tonti frame bikes, but not loopframes. Can someone give me a quick explanation? I don't need the details of detachment of all the usual stuff....drive shaft, swingarm, carbs, wiring harness, etc. What I am interested in knowing is just how you get the motor out of the frame. Do you lay it down with the motor in the frame, then take the engine mounting bolts off and take the frame off of the motor? Should the valve covers or heads or cylinders come off first, or can the motor clear? Any advice would be appreciated.
