Good choice
Yeah I know how annoying leaks can be with these small carbs, so figured it's best to just buy the new and real Macoys.

Haven't done a hell of a lot on this bike to be fair but toiled away on fixing some wiring on the main harness today.

I haven't given up yet!

Clutch gave out on my NC23 so I did some more work on this blue beast....

I think I finally have the wiring sorted and I hooked up the coils after checking the wiring schematic a hundred times.

Carb inlet rubbers are on and air box fitted, attached a new choke cable but the slide seems to be a bit sticky on the carbs?? Sprayed some WD40 on it and let it soak overnight so hopefully it's got a bit more movement today.

Anyway...today is the day of reckoning for 'Smurf'.....fresh fuel added and a new battery......today I am going to try to start her up!!!!!!!!!!

Smurf fired into life and was extremely loud, as it doesn't have an end can on it!!!!

I lost motivation on the 23....have drained the oil and removed the clutch basket yet again. Will bite the bullet next payday and purchase a new clutch.

Fuel pumps faulty. Randomly pumped a few times then died completely.

I probably should've guessed something was up when the box of bits that came with the bike included a new fuel cut relay and a partly dismantled fuel pump!!
