Good find! Love to buy one, but only 14 registrered here officially, I know 6 of them, all mc22's. One beauty with silhouette fairings :drool: Engine wise mc19's are better (espec. honda replica classic restorers) but for the looks the points goes to mc22's.

They're a bit like busses at the moment arent they, theres also an mc22 on there that looks like it needs a bit of a cuddle.

Is there any chance that you could take a pic of the fueltank to carbs pipework? Mines got a mile of pipes that seem a bit pointless but it had been played around with before i got it. Im wondering whats supposed to be there as standard.

Cheers

Don't worry I'm doing this blind. It came with air box, carbs and head off. The 19 has a fuel pump so will be different to the 22 but will do my best.

Its an 88 Hurricane mc19 that weve got too. - Ours came with the engine complete, just a load of plastics that need sorting and a fair amount of small faults to fix.

Finally got her going today. I think the carbs need sorting and the guy in Thailand is going to produce a carb kit. Usually around £25 delivered for all 4 carbs. I do need to get hold of a diaphragm for the carb as the previous owner had pinched it in the cover!!!! But for now it starts have to fit new plugs and filter, oil, and the cooling system, fresh fuel and see how it ticks over.

Is that lietek for the carb kit? I've just ordered the nc23 kit because the t piece looks to be the same par no. - we also have a leaky t piece.

Have you looked at nrp carbs at all for the diaphragm? They seem to have them. I'll take a pic of our carb/pipe work setup at the weekend so you can see if yours looks similar.
