Guys, all this help is amazing. I thought I would add this, I find it hard to believe still. I work in retail, selling electronics. I had a couple come in, the husband was sold on a certain power center, but his wife said " like hell are we spending $300, for that thing!" Well...turns out he is a mechanic & harley owner, doing after market accessories on the side...so, we made a trade, I will buy him a power center, and he will do the engine kit. What makes me even more excited, he will let me do the work, so, I learn and he will supervise. I will post some pics when I make some progress on it.

You could have done it yourself. But hey for that amount of outlay you will learn something which will build your confedence.
Still I would get a manual for later projects..

I like everyone says get the manual. The only person who told me not to get the manual was the dealer...guess they don't want me to do anything myself
