thanks mate, i dunno why i couldnt find how to get there from the forum page!? but cheers


iv also just got off the phone to my best 2 local garages, the first quoted me 90 quid to check the valves....the 2nd said they wont do it. cos they found it hard to justify the cost of just checking such a thing, plus both said that if i already have my carbs off, to check myself lol so looks like im going in! lol gunna grab some carb cleaner and feeler gauges today and do it! im such a whimp

nice little read that mate, i know how annoying jetting can be, im contantly re jetting my 2t from month to month some times, so even though the vfr 4t is a little more forgiving with her jetting , i can see ill soon makeing friends with my carbs too i suppose i should be careful first off and keep it as it is, you never know whos jetted it and for what ressons, then that gives me something to work from. rick o also said it sounded rich as hell......we ll see i guess. however i dont have any washers on any of my needles(the 1 front and 1 rear iv checked so far) so iv got richer mains than most and leaner needles than others. i went with the hiflow filter too to try and lean things out slightly with out any other major changes for now.

ill take a look at that carb guide code thingy mate too. so far peeps have said my carbs look like uk ones, my slides apeare to be metal and as youv already seen, they have more holes than others already in them. so ill check those now.

from just looking over the old girl too id say yours was deffo moded for larger jetting than mine is....unless im missing somin anyways. how can i check to see if my CDI has been swopped around or isnt original? what sort of marking should i be looking for mate? is it as blatient as a name? lol


ps mate, wheres the homepage info? lol

just take some pics of the CDI, it will/should have OKI electronics Corporation written on the bottom of it black plastic box/case with a alloy base and top where the cables/loom/plugs come out with 2 pop rivets for the transistor heat sync, if your lucky someone may have pluged an M MAXX box, RickO Box, or HRC Box,

these NC30s always seem to suprise you in somewhy as i said 20year old bikes are all so different between

lol, shame no ones down my way, would have loved a hand doing it. ok mate, im on it! what size feelers do i need?

also, just checked my carbs. there 90-91 UK L model ones

so so far the chassis is jap L model, the carbs a UK L model and it hade K model early forks originaly lol what a mess.

i read cammo guide yesterday and it does look piss easy. but im still scared lol fingers crossed nothing needs replacing. shes only at 20k i think, but who knows if that counter is original either ha

[lizard821000]

ok so im half way through my carbs, cleaning jets and swopping fresh gaskets and checking needles etc.

can some one tell me why my needles done match cammos guide ones? he states J51B and J51A needles.
mine are J1GB and J1GA .... does anyone else have these needles??

iv looked against rick o part list too and none match these either!? plus iv got J1GB needles in my REAR carbs where as cammo guide state its the J51A (A) needle goes into the rear carbs. i know this doesnt really matter coz my needles are diff but im a little lost here , any help?

[lizard821000]

i love this forum a few diff worded searches pulled quite abit of these needles info, uk spec needles. not much info on them mind but enough to get me going. i think i need to speak to cammo direct for more answers .

[lizard821000]

spent half the night buggin rick o, hope he didnt mind, but some great info. UK carbs work in reverse to the jap ones! you run leaner on REAR carbs, as appose to the JAP FRONT carbs. odd ay! so standard uk jetting is 122f/120r .

also my emulsion jets have a funny hole configurment, again, appose to the jap ones which are the front tubes have 4 holes. the UK have 4 but another 1 offset,so 5! and the uk rear have 4 holes! also the holes are located differant to the jap ones.

jap front holes go

1234 in a line

uk front ones go

123 4
5

obviously imagine the numbers are holes and the spaces are gaps. the 5th hole on the uk carb is in-line with the 4th but round abit.

anyone else confirm all this?? or is this new to peeps!?

[Drunkn Munky]

There TT-F3 spec carbs

[lizard821000]

is there anywhere i can see the set up tony?? so i can compare mine to it. youv obviously seen/heard of this set up before.

[Drunkn Munky]

sorry only jesting there's no such thing as far as I know

There different tho, may just be uk parts. I'm seem to remember the uk spec parts being different last time I stripped some down.
