NC30 Service Questions!? (HELP)
Hi guys,
Haven't been on here for a while as I broke my hand and have had 2 operations to finally sort it.
I last rode my NC30 last year in august, and since then shes been sat in the garage under its cover.
Now my hands back on the mend and the weather coming better, I need to give her a small service soon (ie: oil, oil filter, spark plugs, air filter) before I take it for a ride again.
Is there anything else that you guys would recommend doing before I next go out for a ride? As its been sat since last august and hasn't been fired up at all.
I don't want to go out and be plagued by all sorts of problems, I had a bit of a problem before with the float chamber gaskets leaking from it being sat for a while as I was doing some work on it. Then I had a fuel starving problem as I put the fuel pipe from the fuel tap on the wrong nipple (school boy error
) Its all sorted now, but like I said.....that was last year and its been sat for nearly 9 months.
So if anybody could let me know of anything I should do, so that I'm not going to do any damage or have any problems with NC30? I'm all ears!
Many thanks.....Cal

Re: NC30 Service Questions!? (HELP)
Hi, sorry to here you've been ill. Only things I can think of is giving the battery a good charge and maybe put some fresh petrol in it. I wouldn't bother doing the plugs unless there old an knackered anyway.
Good luck.
