Dt MX electrics HELP
Thanks O G I will be purchasing a volt meter tomorrow and testing from your post figures. The wires remaining I assume to be the necessary wires for the bike just to function so I do have to reinstate the internal wiring from the magneto only problem being I am not sure I will be able to retrieve them in order to be fixable good thinking though! Cheers Geo

Dt MX electrics HELP
Yep through the mot thanks to a donor bike Nope not a drop of rain 7 wires through to the cdi the severed wires looks like they have come about due to a lack of care from the previous owner the colors are yellow/ sky blue /white & red /brown/ black and green there are 3 left connected I am just a little concerned about how hard replacing these wires will be. Any ideas?

Dt mx internal seals
Hi all I am about to strip a spare engine and am thinking of a re-con. Is replacing the internal seals in the engine a specialist job or can I diy it with care? I am thinking this because of advice regarding 2 srokes sitting for too long and the seals failing once started and warmed up. Is this true? Cheers Geo

Dt 175 Mx wont start
.The switch gear has no slide switch for the indicators nor a horn button. So I have purchased a 9v independent horn for now for the mot . Once I can get a new switch gear then all will be properly restored . Good news is that I found the oil pump nicely seized \ `so now lubricated and working as it should so that is the smoke issue sorted thank the lord.. will investigate the exhaust tomorrow.

Dt 175 Mx wont start
The loom is intact the only feeds I cannot find are the rear light and indicators the front has indicator feed. I will eventually need a new switch gear as there is no slide or horn button. I am bypassing for the horn till then and will fit indicators after mot.
