January 18, 201510 yr Hello, I noticed you have experience with the Yamaha DT series. I have recently obtained a 1975 DT 250b however, I have little to no experience in re-building older bikes. It seems as the oil pump has been blocked off and I have read this is ok as long as you pre-mix fuel. I was wondering if you could tell me if this is ok and if so what ratio and what oil do I use. Also, do I need to fill bike with oil if mixing? Further more I drained oil from bottom end before splitting case but am not sure what kind of oil and how much I should use for transmission and can't find filler. Please excuse my ignorance any help you could provide me would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 18, 201510 yr Author I`ve learned here these autolube systems never pack up. I would run the lines, prime the pump and get it going again. I have now done 4 bikes and all their autolube systems work fine.
