Posted February 25, 200817 yr Hi to all, I have recently bought a DT175mx non runner and cannot get it to start. It had been stored for a few years. There is a healthy spark & have fitted a new plug. The carb was flooding, but have now replaced the float valve & cleaned the carb. The gearbox oil keeps getting emulsified, and the plugs keep fouling with a messy brown liquid. I have changed the oil twice, and tried running the bike up and down the road to clear out any moisture in the engine, but still cannot get it fired up. Any ideas ?
February 25, 200817 yr Author Have you put fresh fuel in? The fuel is about 6 months old and have added a small drop of 2 stroke (pump needs bleeding, once engine is running) Would that make a difference?
