hi
how did you get the gpz engine in? did you keep the flywheel or use the gpz wiring loom or something?
im having a go at the moment but dont have a kle engine to swap bits off so am just using a gpz wiring loom as weel - which nearly fits i think . .
any advice would be appreciated.
kind regards
nathan
