Smurf Blue NC29 in NZ

[Gimly56]

Have bitten the bullet and purchased a new set of carb inlet rubbers from Japan......

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!!!!!!!!!!

Both bikes

And did it?????????
Both bikes

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!!
