Yeah, I hear you. After years of working on BMW (air-cooled twin) motorcycles, I found that I hated working on my wife's VW bug and anything similar. Same basic opposed engine configuration but everything is covered with sheet metal and hard to get at. I ended up whining, "This could be so easy!"
UPS will have the new starter to me by Friday so I guess my weekend is already set. Thanks for your advice.
