Posted April 12, 200916 yr hi i am rebuilding an 81 dt 175,have most major bits except airbox,running a fesco front pipe,tail pipe not yet aquired,does anyone have an airbox or a good idea how to get bike running well on k&n style filter,jetting etc. cheers mark.
April 12, 200916 yr Moderator the airbix is also the battery housing, so your best bet is to get one rather than go down the pod filter route, is your bike the square swing arm version?
April 12, 200916 yr Author yes it is,i have part of the airbox,numpty before me chopped all the front out to fit k&n type filter,not my preferred route. cheers mark.

Ok so you have the battery housing if you go down the pod filter route, its just a matter of going up slightly on the main jet, possibly a 135 or 140, buy both they are not expensive and start with the biggest first. or bide your time and search for an airbox, beware though that you get one for a square sect swing arm as they differ from the earlier round sect swing arm models. they do come up on ebay now and again, although not often.

April 13, 200916 yr Moderator ,carb has a 160 main jet as standard, mark. Carb has a 130 jet as standard, has yours got a 160 in?, sounds big...be interesting to hear how it runs with that. so you had no oil tank...dont forget to bleed and prime the pump when the time comes.
