Removing the side cover of the 81 ct110 engine.

Had to cut off the welded on shift lever...

Inside found well established surface rust...I get the feeling this bike tried to be amphibious at some point in its life.

Though crunchy it all seems to be in place...and the case looks unmolested.

(unlike the 84...foreshadowing)

I don't have a 2 jaw fly wheel puller but in an attempt to remove the nut the engine did start to turn over albeit with the sound of some popular breakfast cereal. But the fact it turns suggests hope in a case split if ever required.
