That was with a couple of small hold-ups when I forgot about the bracket from the exhaust to the bellhousing, then found that the prop didn't want to disengage. If you watch closely when it's lifting you'll see it go up and down a couple of times before I got it all free. By the timestamp, that accounted for about 8 minutes of it ;D

Thanks guys. Yes it was filmed on the mini-cam - one downside of it is knowing where it's pointed (I meant to have less windscreen and more front action ;D ) Oh, and I had an email off youtube within about an hour of posting it advising me that it MAY contain 3rd party content belonging to EMI Music

Thanks Matt - I'm guessing it's basically down to unknown wear, standing so long, then pressed into service dragging him up and down off a trailer without any real revs applied before everything had a chance to free up. So hoping that we'll find the friction plate is ok and the rollers in the cover are just a little sluggish.
If it looks too bad once I strip it, we have one spare on the engine that Mac dropped off for us (I assume they're common to the 1100 and 1300 units?) but if that one's also bad then we'll be in touch ;D
