G Digger Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hi I will probably be leaning on you a lot as I have had no dealings with them at all. always liked them as a teenager but that was 40 odd years ago. have just restored a Honda xl250s and really enjoyed doing it. in theory this should be easier but struggling with getting it going as it has no spark and the stator was in pieces in a cardboard box so not sure if they are the right bits or not. they did all fit together though.

NE0 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Welcome G Digger, nice to have you on board. ive got the slightly smaller DT175MX but not that dissimilar. Whats your general location? (don't give your address out) but you never know someone might live nearby and can offer more than advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
