Posted March 16, 200916 yr Hello all, I am currently in the process of fixing up an old 75 Yamaha DT 175. I just recently got the bike running with redoing the gas tank, cleaning the carb, replacing the fuel line and the bike cranks right up and runs great while idling. When I start riding the and I go to accelerate the bike bogs down. I can gradually increase the speed but you have to find the sweet spot in the throttle to do that. Can anyone help me with this problem. I would love not to take this back to the shop. Thanks for all your help!

Usually a good indication that the carb needs a strip and clean, you will probably find the pilot jet is blocked.
