ive been converting a 78 dt175 back to street legal and when i bought it the tack cable was cut but the end is still in the crackcase and sealed up if tried yanking this thing and cannot get it out. Not sure if theres a trick to it or what but can someone please shed some light on this for me and help me with instructions on how to get it out? thanks. sorry couldnt get a picture

thanks for all your help. i brought it in to a shop and apparently the "points were tripped" which i have no idea what that means. how did that happen? how do i prevent that in the future.

kind of a noob when it come to that so not sure what to do

no rain or puddles just around dry street so far because im in the process of making it fully street legal

So about 6 months ago i bought a 1978 dt175 and fixed it up a bit and has been running pretty good. I go to take it for a ride the other day and its running terrible for about ten minutes then dies and wouldnt start again. the only way it would stay running for a bit was with the choke in. I took apart the carb it seemed fine, checked fuel line, it was gettin fuel, checked spark and bought a new plug, fine, and still wont run. i kicked it probably 100 times with no start up and a weird sounding fart noiseoutta the exhaust about every ten kicks. What do i do? also it appears to have some soft of fluid wetness where the head meets the block. could this have something to do with it? thanks

just bought a 1978 yamaha dt175 and seems to run fine. However everytime i stop runnin it, tons of gas pours out of the overflow tube hanging from the carb. How do i fix this?
