[Jeffs69-912]

I bought my first 912 about 4 months ago. I have been a VW guy for quite some time. I just got to ask what do you recommend when pulling the engine. All of the Clymer, Chilton, Factory, etc. manuals say you have to pull the transaxle with the engine. Maestro's book says you don't, who's right?

I have pulled my 1200 engine on my '64 bug a time or two with no problems.

If you do have to pull them both, do you lower them to the ground to pull them apart? Would some sort of platform make the separation easier?

If you leave the tranaxle in, what do you use to prop it up? Any problems mating the engine to the 'loose' transaxle upon installation?

What is everyones feelings on the 40mm Webber conversions on a stock motor? I have spent a small fortune trying to get my Solex carbs running right to no avail and think the Webbers might be the way to go. Any issues with linkage or anyting? Are they bolt on kits?

Thanks!
