Well I had to remove the header bolts.move the carbs and remove the intake manifold to get just enough clearance to get the sucker out and this is what I found. It seems that a number of pieces have let go and found their way into the bowels of the gearbox. I suppose I will have to remove the gearbox to get at these parts or get creative with some sort of Mgiver magnet tool? Anyway a good excuse to change the clutch that I have been putting off. I guess a Hi Torque starter is in the cards for me as I don't think parts are still available for these old time units? I do have a spare flywheel and ring gear if I need that. It's always something!

You don’t have to take the gearbox out to clear out the bell housing. You have the started motor aperture and at the bottom by the back of the sump there is a closing plate to the bottom of the bell housing. You should be able to fish out any debris
