lift or drag on your own? not the best motor to find points to lift from...

If your on your own its heavy, if there are two of you it isnt.
Most people can take one out themselves and refit it.
To carry it I would recommend two people.

yeah, removing from vehicle can be done by one person (and a trolly jack 🙂 ), but lifting it takes two (unless you want to split yourself a second a**hole!)

I can lift a bare engine (eg no tin ware, carbies etc) just the case, barrels, heads nad internals. But not something i would like to do all the time.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
i i have lifted my 1600 tp on my own and would not like to do it often
two people makes it easy and saves your back
