Hi,
My Countax D18/50 ride on has a completely buggered electric clutch (the useless French mechanic put it on wrongly) and a PCB that's also gone west, so, being too poor to buy new clutch etc. have decided to take it to pieces and sell what bits I can.
(1) Does anyone know of a video that will tell me how to remove the engine?
(2) As all the electrics aren't working and I need to test whether the engine works OK I believe I can attach jump leads from the battery to the engine direct (starter motor? Solenoid?) - but am unsure exactly where to attach them.
(3) Perhaps most important question - as the engine's quite old (2001) is it worth trying to sell it - I'd have to drive it back to the UK, clean it up etc.
many thanks in advance
