1983 IT175 engine help

Posted November 3, 201311 yr

Hi all I have a yamaha 1983 YT175K Tri-moto

These come with auto clutch and pull start as standard and I have heard that parts from 1983 IT175 are very similar and can be swapped with a little modification.

I dont want to start this without a little info on this as i have not worked on many old yamahas before.

Is ther any one on here with any knowledge on the IT175 engines or parts for sale that are likely to be needed

Hi Ruddy, it's usual to say "Hi" before you jump in with a question, just like you would if you asked a stranger to comment on your engine, if you go to the "new members" section and say Hi there then more folks will talk to you, it's NOT enough to just say "Hi" either that's taking the piss !!!!! Other than that Welcome to the YOC it's nice to have new people join in. :jossun:
