It is such a simple, quick task to pull the little 3 banger, tuck it under
your arm and carry it to a bench and break it down into its 7 moving parts, That I'll bet in 95% of the time, the trouble, (if indeed it is in
the engine) will be instantly obvious. My experience with 5 of the little rascals during the 60's was that they were practically invincible, provided religious oil mixing, and even wihtout the aid of the free-wheeling up to 90,000 miles at which time the crank bearings invariably disintegrated. Due to the lightness of the load, the clutches lasted a long time, the trannies were so understrerssed that the only thing that wore out in them were the synchro rings, which were also easily replaced.
Any excuse to pussyfoot around doing "diagnosis" instead of pulling the engine is purely psychological and should label the culprit a bicycle mechanic!
