After much heaving and moaning I got the engine back in. It actually lies on its side and there are 4 bolts on the bottom of the crankcase and three on the top. In rather a nice design feature the top bolts on each end rest in slots so you can drop the engine into the cradle and then get the remaining bolts in.
I got the starter / generator wired up and joy of joys the motor spins (in both directions). For reasons I don't understand the reverse warning now works. It hasn't up until now and I just assumed it was shot. It must be something to do with the starter finally being connected.
Tonight I will buy some gas and a starter belt. Then connect the new throttle cable and the choke and see if she starts.
