sekocher Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I just picked up a 1981 DT 175. I haven't got it running yet. Cleaned out the old gas and freed up the slide in the carb. The carb looked pretty clean. Compression was 120. The petcock was pretty cruddy. I ordered a new one. I assume this is gravity fed on this bike. thenks steve k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 14, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yep. Plain ol gravity. These bikes work best using a big K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid Worked for me for 25 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekocher Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks, that is what I thought which means the old one wasn't working. steve k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
