biking in the seventies
Like yours more Drewpy, Mine was a Cortina 1500 mk 1, spent a fortune on it, put new big end shells in it myself only to find it failed its MOT due to knackered steering rack...that was the end of that

The Joke page
Healed Grandma and grandpa were watching a religious healing program on tv. The evangelist called to all who wanted to be healed, to put one hand on the tv and the other on the body part they wanted healed. Grandma hobbled to the tv and put one hand on the tv and the other on her arthritic hip.Grandpa made his way to the set and put one hand on the tv and the other on his crotch.Grandma looked at him with disgust. "you just don't understand, you old coot.....the purpose of this program is to heal the sick, not raise the dead."

how to adjust the clutch
I think he is referring to the 'Reach' DDT, the R125 does not have adjustable reach levers. I would do some research for them maff

DT 175 MX 12volt conversion
Thinking about it though I might be wrong in believing that. The lighting /charging coils hace two windings, so by regulating one...depending on the construction of the coil maybe the other is regulated too... easy to prove this, just unplug the regulator and measure the battery voltage, if it rises considerably, it is indeed regulated by said regulator I better shut up

stator swap
so is it a points model..?
-
DT 175 MX 12volt conversion
This is how I understand it to be. The regulator has no other purpose than to stop you blowing headlight bulbs, it has no function in the charging of the battery, the battery simply acts as a soak as was common with many small bikes of the era. (essentially they are two circuits) it is an AC regulator and the headlamp (only) runs with AC. Great post so far NEO

79 mx175
if you know the part number of the correct CDI enter it into the 'boats.net' search box. if youre lucky it will say if it is common to others
-
79 mx175
yes then you need a 6 wire CDI so long as the stator only has ( ignoring lighting) 2 coils.
-
79 mx175
I would have thought a 79 bike needed a seven wire CDI. the clue is, is there a red wire from the magneto? if so its a 7 wire. well it is on uk bikes but not 100% sure on US models
