Re: got the nc30 and the project starts...
Let's hope there are some big players from a major works team on here because with quality of such a high standard, they'd be bound to snap you up.
How hard can it be?

Thats not genuine, I could see through that straight away. I think I have a picture of it on tape.Carlos wrote:[]I am using the genuine HRC clear bottle so as to avoid possible colour/power fade problems, and I agree always use genuine HRC parts as shown below. :D
Dont ever run the motor with that fitted, as the reflections will impinge on the adjacent HT lead, causing reverse misfires at 5,673.5 rpm.

im swaying towards carlos's hrc bottle as it claims to last 50% longer, and to be honest i like to think that if a job is worth doing, you should do it properly...... :Darsey30 wrote:Thats not genuine, I could see through that straight away.

If you want to believe in fairy stories , that's up to you, but I was silly enough to use one, but although the engine revved cleanly, it caused it to over rev and it went so fast the label tore off the bottle and jammed the carbs wide open.

Re: got the nc30 and the project starts...
In a futile attempt to finalise this debate I have carried out extensive tests. Having tried to use Fairy, and apart from the masses of suds it creates, my hands have never been softer. Result.

Re: got the nc30 and the project starts...
Looks like we did similar research, I used two ex-racer pals as lab rats, Hans from germany who now works in a kitchen used the fairy, whilst Jervais from france who is now a cross dressing caberet dancer used marigolds and barrier cream.
After 6 months testing the results were conclusive and are thus:
Hans that does dishes can be soft as Jervais, with mild green fairy liquid. :D
For our younger veiwers here's a link to coroborate me and Micks research, all sing along now!

Re: got the nc30 and the project starts...
There's a cracking bloke in Pontefract that does powder coating Damien. Good quality and very reasonable too. If you are over here for those forks I'll take you round there if you want. He's just round the corner from me.
