Have you got a rebuild kit for the tap mate?

If so - and you can be without it for a few days - send me the tap and kit - I'll fix it and send it back.

i dont have a tap kit, where can i get one? i didnt even know there was such a thing, all i did to my tap was, remove it, disassemble it and re install it, and it worked for a bit, and went all dodgy on me again. if i had known there was a tap kit, id buy it. :oops:

Just buy a another tap from somebody they are 20 posted. I just don't understand where your coming from mate I really don't. You have been spoon fed advice for past 6 months and as far as I can tell you haven't followed any of it.

Sit down and work out if you are really up to the task of getting this bike going, and be honest with yourself. Because I don't think you are!

You honestly think that the people who have been god enough to persevere and try to help you through 90+ pages of a thread would offer practical help, then nick your bike?
In my opinion, thats Kinda offensive to be those who have imparted advice. Not to mention ungrateful & just plain stoooopid.

Dude, if you cant afford to get it fixed, and you don't have the skills/tools to fix it yourself are you sure you should even have a bike?

:grin: Classic.

Can someone please take the bike off the boy?

Ersan, send your bike to one of the lads on here who has offered to fix it. I know you want to see the work done. But, after the time and money and effort you've spent, you would be best getting the bike running at the hands of an expert. Many of the lads replying to your questions are the UK's leading experts on NC30's. They are not only patient ( :roll: ), they really know what they're talking about, and they've got the practical experience to back it up.

BTW, there are plenty of companies that advertise in the UK bike magazines that ship bikes around the country for a reasonable fee. They turn up, load your bike in a van, and a week or two later you'll have a perfectly working NC30 delivered in your drive. Easy.

Every time you post, I always reply saying the same thing: "Mate, I'll give you £100 for it".

I think I'll retract my offer.

Seriously, and I mean seriously, Ersan, why don't you just sell it as a project with ALL the parts. Take that money, swallow what's left of your pride, save up and buy a NICE example. Maybe get an inline-four that's easier to work on? This bike now has SO many problems that it's out of your league to fix it. As you've said, it's going to cost £100's in mechanical bills, failing that, it's going to cost £100's to get it in a van and taken to a forum member.

Would it not be worth cutting your losses? People like me LOVE to buy bikes like yours and do complete strip + rebuilds with new parts etc - although as people have said, if you've been running the engine with oil that's got the viscosity of water, it's likely the engine could be damaged beyond repair, again, worth selling.

I have a spare engine with no 3rd gear, I'd love a bike like yours because I could nick the gearbox and make a perfect engine, then put it in your bikes frame and make the best from my spares.

Don't keep this bike for prides sake. Cut your losses. Move on.
