I just received my new Connie in yesterday's UPS delivery.  Unfortunately it had a couple of rather major issues right out of the box that made it unrunnable (which I'm working with the seller to remedy) -- one of the "brake shoes" near one of the drivers rubs causing noise and scratching off the paint on the wheel, and two of the four screws that hold the gearbox closed are missing and the gearbox cover is "flapping in the breeze".  Seller is being very helpful so I don't expect any problems getting this fixed/replaced.

But...

I've noticed several references to how to disassemble the engine to check the various internal mounting screws, but have been unable to find those instructions.  Would someone please be able to put me to them?

Thanks,
Joe
