Has anyone serviced one of these?
I was changing the spark plugs and hit a snag with the last one, its in a really really gay position and would appear to have some metal bracket in the way.

plugs round the back of the engine?
if so then a u.j. & small 3/8 extension is required and just take your time.

i serviced one of these not so long ago and if its the same engine i think it is then its a very old design engine (25yr old ish) with alot of problems lol one of the major problems we found was if the spark plugs dont get changed regularily they weld themselves into the cylinder head  took over 3 hours to get it out with a blow torch, drill and tap and dye set. they tend to rust quite alot underneath aswel but other than that they arent too bad for what they are quite nippy when they get going
