    is it high mileage? can you get a compression test done...though I dont know what figures you should be expecting here!

    Kam I have no idea fella but I wouldnt be at all surprised if it requires the tank to be removed, 'blackhat' made a valid point about possible low compression though...this can lead to difficulty in starting

  8. As daft as it sounds try another plug, my old DTR completely refused to start once, nay it didnt even try to start. Fitted a new plug and away she went, put the old plug back and away she continued to go!!! some things you just cant explain
  9. Not at all mate, you're very challenging
  10. It looks to me that you need a running engine for the pilot light and the meter lights on this model, thats why you are having issues...yours doesnt run does it?
  11. where shall we start Iain?...the headlight?
  12. I need that wiring diagram ato can you email it me?

  17. Great stuff Sam It's been a bit of a journry for you eh...It's always nice to see one of the DT's returned to the road...Hats off to ya and dont forget to post up a piccie eh? keep in touch Oh yeah...if the clutch is dragging a bit and you havent over filled the oil and if it doesnt get better after youve run the motor in why not try some thinner oil http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-934-motul-transoil-10w-30-lubricant-for-gearboxes-with-wet-clutch.aspx

    Haha yeah that thing, I removed mine years ago, I bet theres not many of those around these days! By removing the lid, you have effectively removed yours too now I'm tempted by the meter I must say, £160...whats that? about two dyno runs these days? £145 on fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-MTX-L-AFR-Wideband-Air-Fuel-Ratio-Gauge-3844-/300506017816?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45f78df018

    wow thats impressive venture, I've though in the past that it would be great to have a tool that analyses the exhaust gasses but this is the first time I have seen anyone reference one in a forum... so A/F...is this air to Fuel then? Tell us more about this tool, make / model / etc I recently tried with my airbox lid jacked up because for obvious reasons I didnt want to drill it, maybe you'd want to do that too if you're running without it now? I removed the seal and placed 2 off 1mm plastic washers on some slightly longer mounting screws drilled small enough so that they had to be screwed down the thread so they didnt fall off I gave up in the end because I couldnt seem to be getting anywhere with it...perhaps I needed an A/F gauge...who knows? anyway the airbox lid unadulterated
