ok thats what I thought but I just wanted to make sure because im looking for a gasket kit and they dont list it for a 1980 but they have for a 1979 and i thought thats kinda wierd

I have another question is a 1979 and a 1980 dt 125 pretty much the same and are there any differences in the engine at all?

would low compression also make it hard to get going needing the pushing down the road?

Is your 175 adjustable?

You cant adjust the timing on CDI can you?

I also have a qustion about the electircal about when you turn the key if the headlight is suppose to turn on and are the turn signals suppose to work because all that works are the horn and tail light but when the bike is running everything works so I was just curious if that is how it is suppose to work

actually it says 3jc on the right side I thought it said 30 but where does it say the size on it

Ok thanks that is alot of help because a friend of mine has the 175 that is in mint condition but the casting of the lower end is wore out where the crank shaft bearing goes and I was thinking about putting my stuff on that bike but it doesnt have a title so i figured it would be easier to put his stuff on my bike

I actually think my bike has the wrong carb on it in my other post another guy told me it has a vm24ss on it but the one that is on there is a thirty something

So would the 175 cylinder be able to fit my lower end if I used the carb and everything off of it

I was curious to know how similiar a 1980 dt 125 and a 1979 dt 175s engines are and wanted to see if there parts were interchangeable. And also know if any of the electronics are the same like the coil or CDI.

I have a 1980 Dt 125 that I bought a few weeks ago for a $100.00 that is in great shape and with a liitle carb clean runs great but getting it to run is a different story. It will not start by kicking it over I have to run it down the street a few times and dump the clutch for it to even try to run and when it does finally start it runs like crap I have to keep the throttle held wide open for it to stay running and it runs like it is choked if its warmed up but after driving it around for a few minutes like that it starts to run good but when I go to cold start it is nearly impossible to get it going. Any ideas on what might be wrong would be deeply appreciated thanks
