Date Member Supplier Cost Comment
2014-04-23 Tim Walsh George Carr 108.00 A rough estimate for an annual service on a Honda GX 390 is £ 80 – 90 plus VAT. The service would entail a spark plug & oil change, a full clean of the carburettor & fuel system replacing gaskets as needed, we also fit a new air filter & pull-cord rope as standard. The engine would then be ran & tested with any settings & adjustments being taken care of as required.
