Oil pump priming
just hold the pulley fully turned when the engine is idling, you'll see the oil moving through the tube in pulses, travelling about 6mm each pulse. Forget about the pressurising idea...no need

DT175MX too far gone?
regarding the cylinder sleeve nut Always use a 6 point socket on these aluminium nuts, never use a 12 point one so get the correct sized 6 point one, shove a strip of medium / coarse grit emery cloth into the socket and tap it down onto the nut...blowtorch the side of the nut to get a bit of heat into it and try again

DT175MX head gasket leaking
yeah there's bound to be some play after all those years, there are rubbers in there, myself I wouldn't bother...cant see why you'd think it's causing a knock just because the rubbers will be a little eroded?

DT125X speedo repair
Unusual to see one fail Nigel,it's normally the cable that breaks...I'd say take the cable off and inspect the inner cable?

74 DT 125 front pipe leaking oil / gas mix
it sounds like the crankcase is flooded, turn off the gas, take out the sparkplug and spin the engine over to eject some of the fuel, than leave it overnight to evaporate off...that's what I'd do anyway. hey, first post all about a problem!...what no intro / hello?

Electrics working when revving
it should come on when the engine is idling albeit a bit dim...but nevertheless it should come on. is the battery new or how old is it?

Electrics working when revving
so did you check the switch is working? did you disconnect the wire from the switch and touch the engine casing or chassis bolt with the wire?...that would test the bulb/socket and may even point to a faulty switch

if I,m not mistaken theres a filter gauze attached to the float needle valve seat, check its clean. If it's mucky it will give those symptoms.
