Hi guys!!! I had the problem with the spark plug thread breaking of in the cylinder head. Well just to keep you informed I stripped the hell out of the engine & got the snapped thread out with a thread tap & was lucky to have it come out clean so am now cleaning the entire engine......... so if anyone knows the best way of cleaning the carbs, cylinder head, exhausts & cam shafts then please let me know as most parts are thick with carbon but then again it is a 20 year old bike........ & the rest!. Someone asked why a novice would buy a bike this old well thats my answer ........... to learn all the ins & outs!!!. Still got to put it together mind you but hey everything is all in order just needs a damn good scrub. The one thing I cant get is a cylinder head gasket so can anyone help me out there or should I use some of the gasket sealer out there?????. this may be a daft question but do most nc30 parts fit a nc24?????. Please keep me informed guys as I do want to learn all the tricks that come with experience & new riders have to start some where. But cheers for all the advice guys some people helped me out a lot cheers & all the best. Ian xxx
