BTW did you oil the filter like you should have done?

This sounds like a reasonable assumption, if I were you I'd be sending my carb off somewhere for ultrasonic cleaning.

you're welcome Bart, let us know how you get on.

hes not been here since january!

old old thread! 2008 !

Thanks for the update Chris

Friday afternoon at the earliest, we camp down at the bottom end of the grassed area normally, dunna worry we'll exchange mobile #'s if you're coming, I usually get there first anyhow

"I brought the bike with the pump on and this is the first time i took it out dont know what else i should tell you about this really" well at least I know now that you never ran the bike before! if theres no water in the gearbox There was water in the 2T tank when you filled it or at least there HAD been at some point, and of course this water filtered down to the pump and just sat there as it had nowhere else to go! Bleed the pump until clean clear red oil only flows from the bleed,id give it a rinse in something first, diesel oil maybe and in future it would help that you posted the full details and history in your first post, I assumed that this was a sudden occurance...why wouldnt i?

when did you fit this pump, has it always been on there? C'mon it's time you told us more about this instead of me havin to root it out of ya!

I'd start with a PW50

chain might have a stiff link, you'll feel/hear a knock on accelleration if it has, take it easy on those knobblies welshy

so how did the bumpstart go then ??

drain the 2T tank into a clear container, see if theres water in it? if there isnt you can use it later Drain the gearbox oil and transfer this into a clear container (2 litre pop bottle) and let it settle, see any water here?

Theres only 2 places water could have come from 1: the clutch case (through a faulty seal) 2: the 2T tank a faulty seal would also cause you to 'notice' the pump needed bleeding

did you just fill your 2T tank recently? what 2 stroke oil did you fill your tank with?

Greetings Vince

seems to me that you must have a bad seal on that oil pump driveshaft! not only that though! you must also have a gearbox full of water and that is whats coming through, so your water pump seal must be goosed as well! Check your gearbox oil

no mate, it's CDI but doesnt have a kicker, sounds like it's only sparking when the elec starter is dis-engaged?...Thats why I said try a bump for now

Looks like you're in there Andrew, be sure to take your Elvis PJ's and something to bite on...I'll be sure to take my earplugs

For now Chris...Try bumpstarting it

Great, have a good one drewpy

Ive got a halfords pro set of tools, its pretty good, never had any issues with it...I also buy tools from Aldi occasionally, they seem OK to me and cannot be beaten on price, who cares if the odd one may break although it has never happened yet

Crikey Mervyn I swear your pics surpass you usual high standards this year, many in your group? so is the sign 'Les Arses' on the staff room door now haha. Looks cold on the tops, still snow around who'd have thought it Thanks for posting them mate

yeah first check that all your head bolts will torque up to speck...that may be enough for now...if they wont you'll need a re-coil fitting like I said. Yes to anneal heat it up untill it's red then drop it into a bucket of water. It will only work with copper ones so check it isnt magnetic first In Europe your bike is known as a DT175MX For reference This is for an earlier twin shock bike, by the pack design is the same http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Noboru-Yamaha-DT175-Top-Gasket-Set-G72-/260825346496?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3cba66f1c0
