  5. There is 6-34 just under arrow then 96 7 is stamped about an inch under that, very hard to see on picture. I am just trying to identify whether standard or no, however, I have order a bore measuring tool off eBay so I can see if piston has been bored. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello all I'm hoping someone can help me I am trying to identify what size the piston I have pulled out of the DT I am restoring is so I can purchase a new one. The only markings I can see are 6-34 & 96 7. Here is picture of old piston, as you can see it has small grove on outer edge and I don't want to re-use. Please help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This is the piston I pulled out of her, there is a slight split on the outer edge to the top left of where arrow is pointing, is this piston no good or can I re-use now I have cleaned it up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cheers mate, I'm in Australia, just want to get it going before I start to shell out too much $$ for it. If I can get her all cleaned up and going then I'll look around for oil pump and tank. I have the bottom end all back together and should have frame all cleaned up and re-sprayed this weekend will post updated picks soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks mate Frame no: 450-221109 and engine no: same 450-221109. And this is only damage to tank, will I be able to get this repaired or is a new tank needed. Thanks again for help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you, I think I have confused myself, I was thinking that there was meant to be a filler directly into crank case to lube transmission, however, it is apparent to me that the filler on the outside cover must be for the transmission and must transfer it to the inner engine...feeling bit stupid now, and I'm guessing that when I connect pump I will need to also install oil tank for mixing oil. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey all I restoring old DT 250 and want to see if I can get the engine running before shelling out $$. For oil pump. My question is if I premix do I not fill with oil and how do I get oil back in the transmission? Have read that 4stroke oil is meant to be used in trannie but as first time working on bikes can not find a filler - prob starring me in face - and how much? Do I just put on side and fill through drain plug? Please help. I Can not find fill and are just tempted to turn engine on side and fill through drain plug... Please help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
