Dud carbi needle and seat is usually the cause of fuel flooding, mind you a functioning fuel tap stops fuel from flowing when the engine is not running. Time to pull the carbies and find out why the fuel continues to flow.

I didnt mean that problem specifically, but seems to have happened quite a lot during your encyclopedic thread.xivlia wrote:im not disagreeing with anyone, im just trying to clear out a problem.... the bike WAS working before, that coil never had a bolt there when i first bought it. and i just came back from the bike and mounted a bolt there, and its still the same. so i was right, that was not the problem.

You need to check there isnt dirt or shit blocking the float pin that seals the carb.xivlia wrote:yeah but now i have problems like carb floats not sealing and letting fuel into the cylinders. rear left one (when sitting on the bike) and now i dont know how to fix it, just buy a new carb? or attempt to fix the floats? not a clue.
i hate living so far up north, if i had a car i would drive down to one of you guys to help me out, but i dont even have a car license yet :\ which is another pain in my arse.
They do wear though, so to fix it you need to buy a new float pin and seat.
Not cheap either. Maybe if you are on a limited budget a second hand set of carbs is the cheaper option

Re: xivlia's thread of nc30 problems and questions
hmm okay, i was on ebay checking for carbs and the cheapest one is 50 quid... which is something i cannot afford right now. i have a vague image in my head that the float seat did not have its sealing washer... i JUST remembered that when i re-read the haynes manuals float height section. i think i might pop them back out and check to see if its got the sealing washer in there.
but if not, does anyone have a set of working carbs cheaper than ebay?

From the prices asked on eBay recently, I think £50 is not so bad!

Re: xivlia's thread of nc30 problems and questions
damn it. im just so annoyed! there is always another problem arising, by itself without me doing anything. my carbs were fine and all of a sudden i come back from my holiday and it fucked itself up?? this is ridiculous, i try to crank the engine and now the rear left cylinder is making a screeching/squeaky noise, EVEN THOUGH its got the right amount of oil it in.... this bike is nothing but a self destruction money draining pile of shit. i know everyone here is saying these bikes are reliable, but im sorry, this is the most unreliable vehicle i have ever seen, known about and owned. i might even just totally give up and chuck this pile of shit in the bin!

He means you haven't paid due care and attention to the bike and mixed with your bodgery, this is the result.
