I have seen comments on the web that there is or used to be Boyer Brandsen electronic ignitions for the 72 DT250. If true does anyone know where these can be found? Thanks in advance. Russ,

That may help, I really need to get it off and take a closer look. May find time over the weekend. Thanks,

I would like to rebuild the carb on my 72 DT250. It has a Mikuni, but Clymer does not give me enough information to order a kit. I found some specs that indicate this is a VM26SH. But I am thinking I need a little more info. Can anyone tell me the MM size of this carb, or what I would need to tell someone to get the correct kit? Any ideas where such a kit can be ordered? Thanks for the help, I was searching past posts, but could not get this specific info.

Well I found on another forum that this issue can be resolved by replacing an O-ring and the pilot jet. Still waiting on my Clymer manual, but will post back if I figure it out.

Hello, I just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself and ask a question. I live in Central Texas and currently have a Triumph Legend and a Moto Guzzi Stone. I am picking up a 1972 DT2 today. The bikes appears to be in pretty good shape for it's age, but has a problem I have seen described on this forum a few times. It will start and idle just fine, but when you give it gas it stutters badly and never recovers. Since I do not have the bike in hand yet I have not had a chance to check the plugs to see if it is lean/rich or the fuel system for debris. That would be the first thing to look at, but the current owner indicated he had and that it had to be the carb. The last entry I saw on this problem it seemed to still be ongoing. Has anyone found a resolution yet? I hate to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. If it is the carb or jets I understand they are difficult to find replacements for so has anyone been able to determine a replacement that might work? Thanks for the advice. Russ,
