Weekend result: Success!

Suzuki original wiring is now gone.










The Yanmar engine is in place, still some work to do on the engine mounts.

Also cut away a few kilo metal from the plate under the flywheel.
Starter is moved to the new position under the frame.
Makes the engine ride a bit too low in the frame, hopefully it will work. I guess time (and a few sharp turns) will tell...


After






Starter motor holder including front engine mount.




Fired up the engine a few seconds and yes, vibrations will be a challenge.

Only had the engine on low idle today, and these engines are known to be vibrating a lot at idle, so I hope it will be better at higher rpm.

Currenlty I have only 4 engine mounts (2 x rear, 2 x top front). Probably I will make a top support as well, just to be on the safe side.


Tomorrow work starts on the gearbox.
And that will for sure be a bigger challenge...
