a few questions, can you help??

Hi guys.
As some of you might know, i am working on my nc24 to get it onto the road.

Just a few questions:
After taking the tank off to get ready for paint i noticed the fuel tap has the main fuell outlet and one small vac pipe that acts upon the diagphram to open the tap for fuel.
However, there is another connection on the opposite side of the diagphram to the vac pipe but this is balnked off with a small piece of pipe sealed with a cable tie...
Where should this be connected??

***and if anybody has experianced high ideling but stalling when idle screw adjusted, try looking at the diagphram of the fuel tap, if this is miss fitted (like mine was) or has a hole in it, the engine will be pulling in un mixtured fuel from the vac pipe.****

Can anybody suggest a good supplier of fork oil seals?? and maybe a link to instructions as to how to do this..

and finally, i will be replacing the tyres. At the moment it has a 140/70/18 tyre on the rear, i know this is larger than standard, but is there any problems with using a slightly larger tyre??

Oh, and how on earth do you raise the bike to get the wheels off?? front is no problem, but i havent found a supplier of a stand for single swing arm..

Thansk in advance for any suggestions and help.

It doesn't handle as well with a 140 tyre. I've tried both.

The one nipple doesn't go anywhere, it's a breather pipe to allow the diaphram to move.

Davdsilver Spares, proper Honda seals are the best (but come at a price)

You can put axle stands under the fork pegs after jacking the bike up with a trolly jack.

Single sided paddock stands are really common, lots of bikes have single sided swing-arms

Worth double checking the spindle size with the MFG before you buy one

Neosophist, again, your a star.

Thank you for your help. I hope one day I can return the favour.
If there anything you want to know Landrover, rangerovers, fiesta mk2's, or off road buggy, just ask!
