[1980 DT 125 Help]

This looks promising. I have been trying to upload a picture and the site keeps saying that the image is too large even after I resize down. I checked the wires and have a yellow, blk/wht stipe, and a green. I had one of the colors wrong. The diagram above looks promising. I am going to clean everything up, put new points and capacitor in and see if I can get some juice to flow. Once I get spark I need to figure out why I only have 90lbs of compression. Thanks and I will update as soon as I can!

It is a point system. The wires as yellow, black w/ green stipe, and white. I will take a picture of it and upload the picture tonight. Thanks for the help!!

Good Morning,

 

  I am going to try to put together this little DT125 for my son to ride around and I am going to need some help. The bike is missing quite a bit of its electrical parts so I have to piece it together. I only have 3 wires coming out of the case but I am not sure which is which. There is no battery box, but I am guessing a battery is not necessary (unlike my Honda350). I do have a coil but that is it. So as it sits I have the stator plate with 3 wires and a coil. Nothing else. If anyone has a simple picture of how it is supposed to be set up that would be helpful.  Any help is appreciated! 

Thanks!

Good Morning. I am not new to dirt bikes but I am new to Yamaha. I just rescued a 1980 DT125 and I am going to try and get it going for my son. It looks like someone has pulled some parts off of it so I will have to figure out how it was originally set up. Thanks for any help going forward!!
