Did you find where the vacuum pipe went to and connected it? It wont start without that connected...

You could suck on the pipe whilst its attached to the tank to create a vacuum to see if that is the problem?

its worth doing a compression check

[Guest nigelf]

take plugs out put a couple of drops of petrol in each barrel, plugs back in and connected try and start....

when you say you overhauled the carbs did you was the bodies in petrol or a better chemical as petrol will gum up after a few years and is a tw@t to clear in all the jet ways etc...

Agree with nigelf, After you try to start are the plugs wet or dry? if dry go for the carbs, green fuel dries up & blocks jets with a residue like green glass & just as hard,

NC30 I know about NC24 not so sure, as Vicki has so rightly mentioned, there is a vacum pipe that connects to the diaphragm on the fuel tap, you can remove the diaphragm and seal it, some sort of instant gasket should work, but it is a tube about 4 mm thick that runs from the fuel tap to the airbox, if it is turning over and running for a minute then this most likely the case.

gone off fuel is my bet, i had it on an old kwacker, really difficult to get rid of.

Yep did you drain the tank and put fresh fuel in her, plus with standing might need the carbs deglazing. mine did the same, had probs with starting after the winter, shop deglazed the carbs and has ran fine since. might not be that prob but something else to look at.

check ur fuel pump is working

check the tick over is set correctly

whip ur carbs off and spray some wetstart then try turning bike over

the vaccum pipe attached itself to a small nipple on the right hand side of the carbs - (accelerator side)

is it the single sided swing arn one u got or the dual sided??
