    Buddy Seat for '78 DT100

    Frank Johns posted a post in a topic in Classics
    Does anyone know if a buddy seat and/or luggage rack was an available accessory for a '78 DT100? I've seen luggage racks on older DT100's and buddy seats for larger DTs around the same year. Does anybody have a manual that might tell this? Or does anyone have a buddy seat or rack that I could get measurements from to fashion my own? Thanks.

    I figured going through the carb again would be be the next step (unfortunately). Thanks!!

    Recently obtained a 78 DT100 that had been sitting for a year. Wouldn't start with out priming it then it would die, so I cleaned the carb. Now, it will still only start if I prime the carb. And once it starts it idles at full bore and, of course, smokes terribly. The idle adjustment seems to have no effect, and as far as I can tell the throttle cable isn't stuck. What's my next step? Thanks.
