Taking my time breaking this thing down in the evenings after work... nice break from the desk after a more than full day. Popped the carbs off tonight as well as the alternator and some of the vents to make it a bit easier to slide from beneath later. Fresh alternator:
Removing the alternator/fan allowed me to take a look at the top of the engine where I could see some of the cylinder gaskets pooped out between the jug and the case on 2 of the cyls:
Appears the case was outfitted with Time-serts (timecerts?) already.
Popped the starter out as well and then called it a night. I need to read up on the clutch release bearing activity that awaits me before I can drop the engine.
