DT Derek Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hey there. Im Derek, im 16, from Aberdeen (shire), and Ive just started using my 1984 DT50MX on the road Had a few teething problems with it so far, nothing a few nights alone in the garage couldnt sort. Someone had dumped a ghetto blaster in a quarry not far from me, so I took it, full of water, but it now works! Might strap it to my granny rack when I get some batterys for it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Derek Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 haha The problems are sorted now. Main one was none of the electrics were working, apart from the headlight. This was because the red positive wire had corroded off underneath the ignition barrel, a bastard of a job becuase the contact point wouldnt take solder, so had to melt the original 26 year old solder which took an age. And a slipping clutch that went down to the cable.....a leaking carb due to a fooked bowl gasket, and an exhaust gasket. Anyway, its all good now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
