DT175 Running problems
That filter wont help at all, you'll have more luck with a pair of frilly knickers in there. As for stuck plates, old or contaminated oil could be cause.

DT175MX Jetting, Plug Chops and Confusion
I did think there would be a pandemic of blown DT engines if really was that bad. Yours looks ok to me Paul. But hey what do I know, mine's often looked similar and then left me stranded on the dual carriageway twice! I bought a dial gauge not so long ago from yambits but its about as useful as a chocolate chip pan. The extensions are either too short or too long.

DT175MX Jetting, Plug Chops and Confusion
I was reading somethin about dt175 mx's tother day regarding the spark plug position. Apparently its not best suited to new fuels. Explains why I have melted a couple of pistons recently. They reckon an it175 head is the way to go, with its.centrally positioned spark plug. Might be some mileage in it. I dont know.

Someone did that with a suzi x7 I think. Not very balanced I remember...

Good choice Bippo, I would have gone for the XC myself, nice big front wheel for soaking up those potholes on the rough tracks we call roads in the UK!

Electric start for two stroke
Buy a later bottom.end with electric start. But really why? A two stroke can almost be started by hand?!

Nicknames
Busy Eddie was what my Dad called me when I first moved away from home, I never answered the phone and my voicemail went "Hi its Ed, I'm a bit busy at the moment..." I actually hate being called Eddie day to day, its Ed, Edward, or RattlyOldDT!!

How to repair/check the speedometer setup on a DT175?
My dt clocks come apart very easily, just a bit of lock wire or r clips holds them together???

1980 Yamaha mx 100 dual purpose conversion.
Your front wheel.may not have a speedo drive in the front hub. Thats gonna be a pain.if it ain't. And the tachometer is usually driven from the primary gear via a plastic worm gear. You will need a front brake plate from a dt100 and a tachometer drive from the same. You may be better off getting a digital speedo that is magnet driven

Dt 125 mx
Oh I quite agree, if he's doing a full resto.

Dt 125 mx
My white bike has white pointers, with green faces, other three have orange pointers with black faces. I prefer the former.

Dt 125 mx
And to think I binned boxes of rusty old dt crap years ago. Sure I.had clock brackets and that jazz. Ho.hum. Live and learn I suppose.
