xivlia's thread of nc30 problems and questions

[speedy231278]

If the floats aren't stopping the fuel, then I would imagine that either the valve is gummed up and not shutting, or it's just plain knackered. The bad news is that if I thought the carb bits for my NC35 were bad, then an NC30 is worse. The float valve is a little over £30 and the carb gasket is almost £45!! You might get away with reusing the float bowl seal, but if it been in there years, it'll be like a piece of stale liquorice and probably piddle fuel everywhere unless you also use some gasket sealer when you put it back on. You never know, it might be cheaper to find some spare carbs on eBay!

I'll be honest, I'm actually starting to wonder if this bike really does exist. I've not seen any photos of it yet. Maybe this guy works for Ducati and he's a troll in his spare time.......

In which case I'd like to be compensated with an 848 Evo Corse please....

if you want carbs, contact Geoff - he normally has sets available at good money.

100 aint far away now....

very true.. we need some pictures of this bike, and perhaps even one of the owner

[speedy231278]

There's been a vid of the starting issue an a couple of pics posted in the past. Nothing of the whole bike or the owner mind you.... :p

Wow, Those pictures tell quite a story. It looks like you had a nice standard bike to start with. - albeit with a few issues.

[force-v4]

Oh my!

[vic-vtrvfr]

Question - what did you do with the standard plastics?
First dibs on them if they're stashed in a cupboard somewhere!! lol

[xivlia]

no, i had an accident and my standard kit was smashed into bits. thats why i changed the kit, otherwise i would still have the normal plastics on it wouldnt i.
