Stasch Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Just getting going with my new (to me) '74 DT175 project. Carb is cleaned and ready to reinstall. Battery is dead and won't take charge, will need a new one. Before that arrives, will this bike spark and run without the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stasch Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yep no trouble, the ig system generates its own electric. Hey thanks so much. Now I can start on that while waiting for the battery to arrive. This site is great, had my 2 questions answered so far, and really quickly. It has really helped out. I'll check back in with progress as I put this thing back together. I grew up on a Suzuki trail 90 and this DT175 really reminds me of that bike. (wish I still had it). I'm hoping the 175 will be as much fun for my now 230 pound frame as the 90 was back when I was in Jr. High at about 130! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
