Probably one of the truest statements that I've ever read. Years ago I gained a bit of a reputation locally as a Gx Honda guru, ( before all the Chinese stuff got about)people used to ask me what my secret was in sorting out so many problem engines and I said there was none, simply pop the head off,de coke, grind the valves in, new plug and air filter plus fresh fuel and then 99% of them would be sorted. It was rare that I had to delve deeper,usually took less than two hours from start to finish.

Spent a lovely day at a garden centre displaying the Bolens today.
It started straight away and was driven to the display area, here's the photos 

Im afraid none of you were quite right. This evening I took advantage
of the lack of rain and sprayed it up. On the whole it came out ok,
however I think im going to have to flatten back the bonnet and redo it,
as I not 100% happy with the finish.

Have now started fitting up the Gem. First on was the wheels
followed by the radiator. On the nearside wheel I had to fit an
extra wheel disc to act as a spacer due to the tyre rubbing on
the bellhousing (such a shame the original Dunlop tyres are
no longer available.) This in turn will mean the springs need
shortening. I have also trail fitted the bonnet. Now it has dried
Im hoping that I may get away with sanding it smooth with
2500 wet and dry.
