hi,
my bike is now not starting!!
I left the bike stood for 3 days and when i came to start it, it started fine. i put the choke on which made it idle at 1,500rpm ish for some reason it takes a very long time before it gets to 4k. anyway as tyhe bike is very loud i left it just idle without any revs and it cut out after a few minutes. I then came back 10 minutes later after putting my gear on, started id and it wouldnt rev past 1,500rpm even with the throttle wide open?

when i try and start it now it just pops at me as if its seriuosly flooded (i had this when i put jets in waay tooo big on my NC30.

In ripped off the carbs in which i found a K&N in the airbox:-) and what i found was the main jets were 130s on the 2 outside carbs with the 2 central carbs 128s, the slow jets are 12.5s?
what are the standard jet sizes and does the setup seem weird?

what should i be expecting bhp wise for my bike as im finding variations from 97bhp too 128bhp.

were can i find a sparkplug removal tool from and can anyone recommend me some good sparkies?

obviously i still havent got the haynes yet Razz
