1956 NSU Quickly N Rustoration part 7

Well the little 49cc NSU engine is up and running again after many years. I have changed all the gaskets, seals and "O" rings and of course the crankshaft bearings with new parts. Luckily I found a good use crankshaft in my stash of parts. When I first started up the engine it sounded so quite! Wasn't long before the exhaust was smoking like a chimney. I soon realised that the exhaust silencer and baffles were clogged with carbon and unburnt oil. The baffle is stuck inside the silencer so for now I am running it with another one from my stash of parts. The engine ran well and ticked over fine but when revving it up and down it started popping and back firing. I fitted a new condenser and now it running just fine. Next job is to weld up the crack in the frame and refit the engine.
