yeah you were probably dead on of course, but hey thats life. i figured if i kept the mixture rich it would be ok, but i was obviously wrong. i think im just going to give up on old bikes early, and start saving up for a newer 4 stroke.

hey all, my 78 dt 175 died after a day of biking, and we broke it down and found the piston and gaskets were fine. what we do see it that the connecting rod is next to locked up, so its really hard to kick over, even with the piston out and in the open. so the bearings went? we may just place the whole bottom end but any insight will help thanks everyone

ok so i have put on a vm24 roundslide mikuni onto a dt175e. the probelm is, im a total newb to bikes (only worked on trucks until now) and i have no idea how to adjust this thing so that it runs right. a fellow yamahacluber informed me on the settings: Main Jet 140 Needle Jet 0-2 Jet Needle 4J13 Clip posn 3 Pilot Jet 22.5 Air screw 1 14 turns out Float level 21mm but that doesnt really mean alot...so could anyone out there walk me through this? maybe even a couple pictures? thank you in advance.. rob

i just got off the phone with a couple different guys, and they said that as long as i use premixed fuel then i dont need the oil injection, since its 2 stroke that makes sense. they said that the vm24 should work fine.
