Engine rebuild
My Leader is in need of a total engine rebuild, does anyone have any recommendations who to go to for this? I am in South East London/North West Kent area but can trailer the bike a reasonable distance if the right workshop is suggested.

Thanks John, if this was a four stroke or a steam engine I would have done it months ago!! My knowledge of 2 strokes is measured in negative numbers and I dont want to get stuck with a "rebuilt" engine that I cannot get to run as no professional would want to take it on at that stage. I just feel it would be better to let an expert do the whole job!!
