what about the base plate movement of magneto. I got new point and I re-wound the hard to find coils 18 and 25 ga. any idea on where I should place the plate to get 0`? I think my timing gauge tab is bent.
-
I did one better . I used the generator/starter and crankshaft of a 75 . it is a 12v conversion
-
i converted a 78 dt175 to twelve volt electric start. i got everything machined to make fit . just need brushes a spring and the regulator and i can then test the system out.
-
i forgot i also found a tank with small dent that is green paint and i think its better than balboa blue
-
this helped alot . i actually mounted the starter generator on a 78 dt175. had to cut magneto alignment tabs out,had to cut a u shape for the cylinder hump.and a flat spot for the clutch release post, changed crankshaft to a 75, and had to make custom cover. every thing seems to work even had to bend shifter a bit to make clearance . so i think i am good to go.

anyone know the torque value to tighten cylinder studs and nuts to?

1978 dt175 service manual with wire diagram?
-
this website has only parts fisch nothing with a wiring diagram like in the clymer manual
-
oh by the way anyone have a dt175e wire diagram?
-
battery , electronics and airbox will be in the same spot if i install dt400 engine wiring loom will be the same just one less ground wire and red wire is not used dt175 is 7wire cdi and dt400 is 6 wire the red wire of the 175 is not used the wire ends may need to be changed to acomodate the wire keying i do also have to change the the rear sprocket
-
wiring the cdi is also easy most of wires go to the magneto and lighting coil just need to change wire ends between them and connect to 6v system i also noticed the 400 has 8 fins on cylinder and 175 has 6 the exhaust on the 400 is on the left the 400 has a smaller airbox i found a 400 motor on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/130611112019?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 motor http://www.ebay.com/itm/140654878295?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 cdi box http://www.ebay.com/itm/330647195999?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 reed box and boot its cheaper than getting a new cylinder,studs,nuts and gaskets
-
so it looks like the hard part is fitting it to the frame. i can get the dt400 motor and swap cylinders to make it a 250 the other issue is connecting to the dt175 air box and heat shielding to save oil tank from becoming mush.
-
is it posible to fit a dt400 engine on a dt175 frame if so how much work needs to be done?
-
i ended up mounting it straight to the motor
-
any one have a dt175e 1978 enduro do you know where to mount the voltage regulator the rectifier goes under the gas tank but i have not figured out where to mount the voltage regulator so can anyone help me out? the yellow wire is the regulator connector i just cant locate where to attach the reculator
