1974 dt 175 no juice

Posted April 22, 201411 yr

Hello, I'm mike, got my first when I was 8. It was a gt 60. Been addicted ever since. Anyway, got a 74 dt 175 today, put a battery in it and nothing, no lights, horn, nothing.Power is flowing around at ignition, and other places as well. Pulled the flywheel and looks like the condenser has been soldered like someone tried to change it. Stator bolts are very badly stripped. Anyone have any idea's as to the no power and no spark? Ever heard of none of the electronics not working? Thanks for any help

Hi Mike, Welcome to the YOC, you might be better adding a question in the workshop section as this is only for intros usually and some folks might not see your post. I'm sure someone will have an idea about your problem, they just love 2 strokes on here, hope you get it sorted. :jossun:
