daver Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 hi, have just picked up a dt125lc mk1, bit scabby, has been used for off road only. no lights or any speedos, just the bike, there is no oil tank, so i was wondering if the bloke who had it before did a premix, then put it in the petrol tank,if so should i use 2 stroke engine oil? and what would the mix be roughly. cheers dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check to see if the oil line from the pump to the side of the cylinder is blocked off. Also check to see if the oil pump cable from the throttle is connected. You need to take off the oil pump cover to see this.Three screws no big deal. If everything looks like it is hooked up then put some 2 stroke oil in the tank, back out the pump bleed screw (small screw on the facing side of the pump)and let the oil dribble out a bit until the air is purged. Start the bike with the 32:1 mix and check to see if the pump is turning. If it is remove the line to the cylinder and start it again to see if it is pumping a steady stream of oil. If not try bleeding it again.If you get tired of all of this then just run it on the premix. Good luck Opinyun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
