And don't forget to first block off the "hole" in the chassis just below the
carburettors that eats 1/2-in. wrenches for lunch!

I took a small cheap thin open end 1/2" wrench and cut the handle short,
leaving about 3" of total length. Also it helps to roll up your left sleeve,
remove watch, etc. and come in from the front, up under the carbs to undo
these. It's a lot simpler to access.
