its ended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! George has lost his regulator and recifier from his dt 175!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how they came off is anyones guess... trying to get new parts AGAIN! i had two seperate units but have seen a combined unit..... will the combined Reg/Rec unit work ok or should i get two seperate ones... (the ones fitted are Rectifier-- 2 wires red & Black and Regulator-- 1 yellow wire)... I KNEW IT WOULDNT LAST!!! xxxxxxxXxxxxxxx

try Private messaging "oldgitonabike" to see if he has one, he's been most helpful with a recent dt175 rewire. XXXSeanaXXX

hi colin. what a mare!! prob not a totally siezed engine so dont go buying a new engine yet... your post is a bit sketchy and vague but maybe youve broken the kickstart spring or its come unhooked on the iside ov the engine or just got wedged on the frame tube or footrest... give us MORE INFO!!!!! what do you mean when you said the engine over revved? Oil in the engine i assume? MORE INFO PLEASE. BTW, if the piston had siezed youd still be able to kick her over in neutral... XXXSeanaXXX

its that...... for once in ages........ NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH MY BIKES!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!! This cant go on for long....... Lol!!!! Seana XXXXXXXXXXX

hope you dont mean me!!! im still here... lurkin in the background, just avoiding any problems with Georges beast!!!! big hugs babes. xxx

Defo the way to go. Good luck. XXX

if it does end up being a CDi verson (not that im saying Cynic is wrong), George has a spare (for an MX i think) Good luck XXXseanaXXX

thats another one, by the way. post 70!!! ...........and this is yet another one!!!! just another 70 odd to go... XXX still, im sure George will be intouch again in no time!!! He's already lost the tail piece to the exhaust AND had the engine studs come undone!!! .........................ALL TORQUE AND NO TROUSERS!!! LMFAO!!!!! Bless! XXXSeanaXXX Hope everyone had a good Crinbo and New Year. XXX XXX And yes Neo, that 12v conversion would be a good idea, thanx... I'll ask George. X

yeah, sorry OG just noticed the Derestricting my DT175 thread... 140 posts!!!! well, we're have to try harder next time... XXX

Hej da babes. not sure if the factory would "create" play especially for road bikes... think you just got one with alot ov play... I'd look to see if the welded Clutch/Gear has just shifted the play to the part adjacent to the two welded parts, before the final rebuild. Better do it now that you have the engine in bits. good luck babes. xxx

Just keep checking EVERY nut and bolt pretty regularily. its a bit ov a shaker!!! XXX

Hi all. well, the ignition arrived, was duley plugged in, the bike was wheeled into the back garden, key on, kill switch on... and...... RINGADING, DINGDINGDINGDING!!! Key to "Run with Lights" and...... we have lights... Front AND Back!!! ...we have High AND low beam AND we have a working stop light!!!!! Flick the Kill switch and the engine dies!!! HORRAY!!! With the key in "Park" we have a Rear light but so far ive not been given a Parking Bulb or fitting for the headlight, so nothing up front... I assume with this 6Volt system im not going to get Headlights without the engine running... is this right? Other than that i think she's ready for George to take over the care ov her into her old age... i hope he treats her well or i'll be seeing her again soon!!! Well, so this is probably one ov the last posts on this Mamoth, Record Breaking Thread concerning the discovery and renervation ov this dear old Bitza, except maybe a big thank you from George to everyone who's contributed to this project......... Thank you all for the technical details and spec's, without which i definately would have had trouble sorting out the wires.. X XSeanaX X

isnt it funny how these, seemingly fairly straightforward little jobs just go on and on and on... finding little things that have gone wrong over the years and have either been bodged or disconnected and forgotten about.. This bike would have such a story to tell. its rather nice really that George wants to get the old dear buzzing again. lets hope we can acheive this worthy goal. XXXSeanaXXX

thank you... great minds think alike... just got a 4 position Ignition switch... its winging its way toward us as we write... i'll get back to you. thanx for all the help by the way.... XXXseanaXXX

hmmm yes, maybe the matching ignition would sort the lights problem. there seems sumat a bit dodgy going on with it. i took it apart to look for blobby soldering but all seemed good there, its just the "play" either side ov the setting that makes me think its a dodgy unit. George can see if he can get his money back from E(vil)-bay and get a new 4 position unit. XX
