Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi and welcome to the forum. Here are some dumb answers. 1) This section is for saying hello, not for asking questions. First post questions tend to get ignored on here. There is a workshop section for these questions.. 2) Oil tank should be seen under the seat. It is a clear/white plastic container. If it is not there or not connected then the bike is probably running a premix (2 stoke oil and fuel straight into the tank). 3) The pump should be found behind the right hand side crankcase. 4) Links to anything copywritten cant be posted on the forum as it breaks copyright law and could get the site closed down, the site owner sent to jail or the risk of him being subject to a drone attack. I would suggest that you start a thread in the workshop section. There are lots of 2 stoke lovers on the site and quite a few DT175 experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2013 No worries. You have come to the right place for DT175 help so get the netiquette right and I am sure help will be forthcoming. Oh yeh - don't run the bike before checking the oil pump is working, or is actually there. If you do make sure that you are running premix at about 33:1 so 33 times the petrol to 1 times the 2 stroke oil. I think most of us would advice fitting an oil pump if yours is missing as it makes the bike run better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
