air cooled starter

How do I get the top nut off the stater motor.? Early air cooled 1970cc.
Don't even know what size of spanner to use.
Spent an hour fumbling blindly.... :run

The top nut is in the engine bay, not on the starter motor.

^^This^^

The top nut, on the starter is actually a half moon (D shaped) bolt... the nut is on the top corner of the engine... undo nut and pull the starter out with the bolt still on it

Thank you very much.
I was getting a bit frustrated.
Manual is vague. Not much on youtube either

Why don't you put something on you tube then?
Or better still take some pictures and post them here for all time and future owners
