xivlia's thread of nc30 problems and questions

[xivlia]

hmm its strange, the plugs are in, and the ring gear is in there, i installed it last night.

p.s there is a bit of compression you just cant hear on the vid, it sounds to me its only coming from the rear cylinders. there should be more...*blump blump blump* but there isnt.

[porndoguk]

thats got compression,

have you checked each spark plug to see it spark?

take one out at a time, ground the plug against the frame and briefly turn the engine over, if it sparks more to the next and so on

that front coil should be bolted on - it looks hanging off??

Can take some time for the fuel to get to the carbs - you are sure they are getting fuel?

[xivlia]

hmm the coil has been like that ever since i bought it. and im sure they are, ive unscrewed the carb bows to check and fuel is dripping down. so they are getting fuel. im going to check for spark tomorrow and try again.

The coil could be part of the problem. IIRC it is grounded to the frame through the mounting bolts.

+1 its got to metal tabs that ground to the chassis

i had a similar problem with mine, i removed the manky crash bungs on mine at the start of my rebuild, and at the time i didnt realise that where the crash bung was bolted through the frame, it was also the bolt which holds/earths the coil bracket to the frame, took me what felt like an eternity to work out why i had no spark, eventually i stumbled across my error , refitted the securing bolt and away she went!

As I mentioned before, i had a Bandit, which flooded and it wouldn't fire, even after getting the bliow torch on the plugs, I had to another set of plugs, then swap them out one by one to get it to run the old ones again. Easier on a bandit than NC tho

I think xivlia should buy me a ticket on Ryan air to come see his bike. A mate of mine was trying to get his mate's Haya-BUS-a to run. It just quit one day and he couldn't get it to re-start. I had it running within 15 minutes. I'm just saying...

Im up for this.

Providing the problems are only what has been described above and xilvia hasnt killed the engine trying to run it with his petrol filled oil and I dont need to replace big end shells and split the block then I think 1 day is more than enough time to give the bike a good tear-down, rebuild and sort out all the problems.

Buy me a plane ticket along with vfrman and we will come sort your bike out so its running like a good one.
