cant see you needing to wrap it back anything like the amount you are saying, secure the fixed end into the case? then just hook the moving end over the arm...that's it
OK they'll come up like new but they may ask you to remove the paint first...not easy nowadays because EU legislation has rendered paint strippers pretty useless...be prepared for them to ask you to do it though!
it sounds like a possible blocked pilot jet to me, i suggest a total strip of the carb though with it sitting for so long, best option is to have all of it ultrasonic cleaned, failing that buy a carb clean aerosol and spray through all carb passageways with it...keep it away from rubberised items though
is there any aqua blasting done on Guernsey?
as for the bearing surfaces, yeah a quick rub with white spirit to remove the crud should do it, if theres anything left behind after that then autosol should shift it but watch for any oil passages getting plugged up with the stuff
Nice one Josh it seems the old DT is in good skilled hands
what about the brake spring then...we did have a similar question about a DT250...perhaps it's a similar issue?
case in point, look at our foamy, we told him not to sell his first DT50 but to keep it, he sold it and regretted it ever since, now he has a dozen of them but I bet he'd rather have his first one back
shit ken, a sump plug is nothing to do with it mate, on a 2 stroke the crankcase is a sealed chamber and is nothing to do with the gearbox.
The only sure way is a complete engine strip
There may be alternatives but not as guaranteed as the complete strip down, sorry mate I know it's not what you want to hear but there it is!
