davrom0 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hey all, I'm davrom0 new to the site. I got a 1974 DT175A with oil induction system - does anyone know what type of oil I put in the induction system? Also I heard you can premix if you do not want to use the oil induction or if it is inop, is that true. I will be selling this bike soon - but need to know this so can get it running and fixed up a bit. thank you, davrom0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the autolube system is there and correct you should use some form of 2 stroke oil in the tank & let the pump sort out the rest. If you are going to premix oil (in the fuel tank) go for a ratio of 20:1/25:1 but bear in mind that the bike may run a little weak with oil being added directly to the fuel rather than by its injection point. I guess your in for a fast buck turning a non runner to a runner and moving it on but you may find your purchasers either knock you down on the price, coz of the bike being a bit of a shed or others because the bike doesn't run right (and perhaps others). I would sell as is and perhaps make a bit of profit or do the full job & restore it and may make a bit more !! Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezian Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 You need 2 stroke oil in the oil bottle (under the seat / behind side panel), if the oil injection system is working don't put a pre-mix in the tank as well as you will double the ammount of oil the engine is getting. Trust this makes sense to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
