oldbike rehah, thanks, planning on getting new clear hose. How do you check the pump stroke. It did seem a little heavy on the blue smoke, but I haven't had a two stroke in a while. love this site.

Thanks, it came out fine. We drilled a hole and it was a little loose, so we put a very small amount of liquid steel around it and let it set up. It was easier than I thought. I need to replace the hose that carries the oil to the carb. I will post pics soon. It runs great, it has more pickup then I expected. We got the bike new years day, not running and today was the first time we got it running. It has been a fun project. Many thanks

thanks, tophat 250. that was one of our thoughts. drilling seems easy, not sure about removing the brass fitting. thanks again

I recently purchased a new mikuni carb off ebay as per suggestions on here. It went on fine, bu it seems to be missing the hole for the oil injection line. It is not drilled out. Am I missing something.? It fired first kick, but after noticing the oil line we shut it down. Thoughts and thanks

Thanks, oldbikerehab. that is what I wanted to know. I am going to order the one you put the link for. I will post a pic soon. great web site.

I am looking at a new carb on ebay. I t says it is VM 26 round slide carb better than Mikuni. Is this true? thanks

Thanks, that is what I thought which means the old one wasn't working. steve k

I just picked up a 1981 DT 175. I haven't got it running yet. Cleaned out the old gas and freed up the slide in the carb. The carb looked pretty clean. Compression was 120. The petcock was pretty cruddy. I ordered a new one. I assume this is gravity fed on this bike. thenks steve k

I just found this site. It looks great. I just acquired an old DT 175. It is in ok shape but the previous owner thought the compression was low. I ordered a manual and can't wait to get started. I have had 10 bikes, mostly dirt, one new bike a 1974 Penton 125. sekocher
