Alex DT 175 1974 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 HI so here is a new problem I am having If I use the choke I can't start the bike, without the choke I have a to quick it a couple of million times before it stars, sometime it works better to push it downhill and start in second gear but even this can take several tries. Once I get it started and wormed up it seems to idle fine. When I ride it get this issue, when going uphill it runs out of power it seems, no matter if I give it gas. I recorded the sound with my phone to see if I get a pointer on where to start looking for a fix https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4165737/Bike.wav Thank you for the help!

Alex DT 175 1974 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Looking on ebay for some time now. One of the problems I am having is that there seems to be a lot for DTs 76 to 81 but not much for 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
