    Thanks Jim. I looked up DT100 and was able to find some pistons. Parts seem hard to find for these little guys though. I have decided that I am going to rebuild the engine/gearbox and try to get the lights for it again. If you or anyone else knows a place I can source the lights, bearings for the engine/gearbox or any other parts I may need, please let me know. Again from what I can tell it is a 71 LT2 100cc two stroke with oil injection. Cheers

    I picked up a little 100cc Yam yesterday at a yard sale for the boy. It seemed to be in decent shape but I don't know much about these bikes at all. The guy said that he was having some electrical issues with it and couldn't get it started but when I cranked it over the cylinder sounded dry..... I figured what the heck, it's 50 bux. I got it home and started messing with it a little to see if I could at least figure out some of the problems right away. I have been trying to do some research on the net to see where I can get parts for this bike and what exactly it is. According to the manufacture sticker and engine it is a LT2 that was made sometime in '71. Probably sold in '72, since it seems LT2s where only sold in '72. I am starting to become interested in this little bike and the fact that it was classified as an enduro. I would love to find the lights for it again and put it back together, possibly even restore it. Let me know what you guys think. If you know anywhere I can get parts for this little guy I would appreciate a point in the right direction. Thanks The sticker is a little worse for wear but I can make out a 71 on date of manufacture and the VIN for the bike. Here are some of the problems I found on day 1. He gave me the original ignition switch, which seems to be fine.... other than some really bad soldering work. Hearing the dry sound in the cylinder when I cranked it made me think I would find rust. Well the broken piston looks rust free to me.
