This image isn't too bad...

It looks like the bundle of wires and clutch cable got moved around.

One thing that drive me nuts about this bike is the clutch is on the left hand, but on the right side of the bike. The throttle is on the right hand but left side of the bike.... HELLO.

A new day!
First, waffles.
Second, S40.
Today's first challenge will be the timing inspection cover.
Wish me luck!

King Kong must have been working the day my S40 was assembled. A few bent tools and scratched up timing inspection cover and no luck.
Maybe it's time to grind down an old spade bit. (no used brake pads available)

Educatedredneck - I owe you a 6 pack. Grinding down a scraper made the perfect tool.

I was going to replace the valve inspection cover bolts, but no local store has them in stainless. Would using standard zinc coated be acceptable or should I hold off until I can find the correct ones?

Those bolts don't torque down very much. I don't think you need stainless....

They don't have metric stainless? You can put any style of head on it that you want. I go with Allen because it allows me to carry less tools. You can have carriage, standard, Phillips, what ever there is.
If you order the kit off of ebay you will get all stainless. It is a nice kit, comes with a few extra.

Finally some progress.
Had a minor set back when I realized I didn't have the right socket for the spark plug, then bought the wrong one, finally got the right one.
Got all the bolts out of the head cover except for the middle one. My 10mm wrench is a piece of crap and I'm concerned I'm going to round it off before it comes loose. There's no room for a socket.
I'm definitely beginning to question the wisdom of my actions.

They do, just not in that head style. Maybe I'll go back and see what my options are.
If I ever have to do this again (dreading) I may order that kit.

Any time you see what looks to be a Phillips-head screw with a small dot embossed near the cross slots, you will need a JIS (Japanese) Phillips screwdriver.
Here is where I got mine:
JIS Phillips Screwdrivers
Not very expensive at all, especially considering the headaches they'll prevent.

4-6 bucks? How's the metal on those things?

DD, Glad to hear that my scraper-screwdriver idea worked for you. I drink St. Pauli Girl!!!!
I have made the habit of when I remove a JIS phillps screw off my savage, I take the time and get an allen head to replace it, especially if I know I'm gonna be back at that area again. I HATE rounded screws.
Keep at it DD, wrenchin and learnin is half the fun!!!

Harder than the metal the screws are made from....and that's good enough!
Actually, FWIW, the screwdrivers are made in Germany and seem to be of pretty decent quality.

An excellent technique not mentioned above:
Use a really good punch. Not a sears one. Strong steel. Gunsmith quality. Need a really good clean edge. With bracing, can get just that little bite and tap the screw loose enough to be finished with a screwdriver. Two of mine only loosened this way. Bracing has to be perfect.
I'm thinking on a cam cover fastner now - it's pretty well stuck. I may cut the head off to leave the shaft, then I have something to work with and might not need to drill out a broken fastner!
