ahh sorry didnt make it very clear n the pug the magneto i behind the fan on the left hand side of the engine. i need to take this of to replace the engine casing aso mine snapped the exhaust mount that was on it. so i need to take the magneto etc out to put the new casing on then rebuild it.

sorry didnt make it too clear

 

cheers for that mate atleast i got both sides then i thought id get away with just the one side was wondering why the fella gave me them both

 

yeah cheers minor. might just pop the engine into the local shop as hes pretty good and cheap especially now most of the labour of taking the engine out is done
