Has anyone got any experience working on an NC30 or NC35. Been helping a friend put his NC30 back together today and were stuggling to get the carbs back on. The inlet rubber have gone very hard, tried silicone grease and warming them to no evail. We are down to brute force next an i'm wondering if there is a trick to it that I'm missing, or is it just one of those tw@tty jobs that you have to get on with? Gratefull for any help

Use a bit of hairspray very carefully to ease them on (it acts as a lubricant then hardens up) and clean with petrol - but wipe it off quickly and try to avoid letting anything get into the mouths.

The best way I found was to smear a little clean engine oil around the mouths of the rubbers and then just use brute force. They will eventually go on, normally with a massive 'clunk'. Cheers Grim
