Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
All on and filled with coolant (needs bleeding and checking once running) spun over to check for oil pressure, which it has :D so green light to fit carbs and try and start it :)

Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
Nope, at least not if I can get the feckin carbs back in! Less space than on an NC30!

Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
Got them sorted! Now need to get a good battery on it and try and start it :) then its the last few bits (chain on, buy front tyre and tail unit) and it'll be ready to attack Snetterton :)

Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
Its not playing ball, fuel pump isn't priming and theres no spark, so suspect a dodgy kill switch as that caused me hassle once or twice when the bike was on the road.
Good news though, I got the chain on (need to remove a few links as the increased ride height has changed the swingarm angle to the point the chain is almost out of adjustment despite being new! Think I need a 104 or 102 link next time :)
Hopefully grab some pics tomorrowif I get a parcel arrive which will allow the rear brake to be finished.
