    1974 DT 125

    Hi Yamaha guys, I recently got a DT125 Yamaha Enduro for free, it didnt run. I saw a picture of it on facebook, and was interested, because my dad had one just like it when he was a teenager. I didn't want to pay a lot for it. I saw the guy a few weeks later and told me if I really wanted it I could have it. So I went and picked it up on Sunday. My dad took a good hard look at it, and he reconized the knobby front tire and the yamaha sticker on the oil tank, it was his old bike! I believe it had three owners after my dad. It has a lot of senimental value now. My Grandpa bought it for my dad new in 1974. I guess you can say its back home.. On Monday myself and my freind attempted to get it running. We cleaned the carbs, new spark plugs, and cleaned the fuel tank. With the carb took apart we saw the jet in which fuel runs down into the motor. It was clogged, cleaned it out. Put a battery pack up to it and kicked it and it fired right up. It was an exciting moment, because my dad was sayin it wasnt worth gettin running, and was junk. It runs ok, but idles high, which one is the idle adjuster? Is it the one with the spring on it? If so, we already tried that and I wont idle down. it idles at 7grand. It doesnt have a lot of power eaither. Any suggestions? Thanks. Cleaned the rims and waxed the paint, looks nice now.
