just about to do mine myself so I'd be interested as well.
It appears very labour intensive and is dependant on how well it strips down- mag housing being a case in point. So don't be surprised if its expensive.
Last time I paid for a main bearing seal replacement the whole job cost me £4
- but this was back in 1969!!

It's a complete engine strip and rebuild so depending on several factors
i.e. Where you are in the country, are you getting a shop to do it, a mate to do it, a guy working out of a garage as a business illegally as he's not paying taxes etc then you could be paying £50 to £250 at a guess?

Will need someone to do this for me in South Yorkshire area so may ask a local club. Chris not changing the barrel until the engine is fettled. I was clutching at ignition problem but I think it's something bigger than that.
