Replacement idle knob (NC30)

Post by MatBat » Mon Dec 12, 2011 12:17 pm

Hi all,

I've tried to do a search though couldn't find much info so apologies if this has been covered before.

Basically my idle adjustment knob has broken (at the threaded point that attaches to the carb :cry: ) so I would like to replace it with a new one.

I'm struggling to find anyone selling this part new in the UK, is this piece shared with any other bike or does anyone know where I might be able to get one?

Many thanks in advance!

either look for a set of old knackered carbs on ebay, or stick a post in the far sale / wanted section for one.
had the tread stripped out of the carb body or is it just the adjuster cable ?

Thanks CRM !

I will put a post in that section.

Fortunately the threads in the carb are fine it's simply fatique that has caused the cable to snap at the point that it goes into the carb (I can still adjust the idle with a pair of longnose pliers).

Noooo! I've been looking on Ebay too! Must have just missed it.

Yeah that's the bit I'm after. It's a real pain to adjust without it!
