How much stuff do I have to remove to get at the fan on a Buddy 170? All I see is one bolt at top,and one screw at the bottom? Do I have to remove the exhaust to get to anything else? All I want to do is get to top dead center mark.
One bolt on the bottom, one screw at the top, and possibly one other where the two halves of the fan shroud come together by the spark plug. You shouldn't have to remove the exhaust, the shroud should wiggle off.
On my 170i I replaced the hard to reach bolt with an Allen head bolt. I would use the fan to get it to TDC when doing a valve adjustment. It was easier to get in there with a hex key than a socket.
