I assume nobody who knows read this...we arent a shop, a garage, a diagnostics centre that works for free, just a bunch of enthusiasts. I doubt if people who know the answer would ignore your plea. Good luck and if you find a way let us know so we might be able to annswer something similar in future An adjustment of attitude would be appropriate here.

Greetings Pat, theres one going on at the moment...didyou see 'Hornix' topic? ...Paul

Greetings Ben, doesnt look a bad bike at all, should scrub up well. Nice when you get a bargain eh? ...Paul

Its sounds right to me, you need a cbt to ride it so what's the point of insuring it before

A:, This one Jim The song is sung to the tune of THE GARDEN WHERE THE PRATIES GROW Sing along now http://www.patcooksey.com/lyrics/lie_sick_note.html

Sorry Ryan thats not a job for the amateur, there are people who will do that for you (at a price)...why?

Right waste your time till Friday then

cheers drewpy, at least I wont forget it again now

Theres some instructions in Noobs>FAQ's forum

Nice...I rang them to get the sorn history of my DTR, to back up the 80km's in 7 years, they said I need to fill form x and pay a nominal fee but I cant remember what form x was Probably the same route...so what is form x mate

Greetings rob...another DT Show us a pic then

should have gone to specsavers speaking of where we live if you filled in your profile properly with where you are someone will nip round and test it for you

Post a good picture of the carb adjusters and we'll gave a guess, unless someone who knows shows up, or better still get a haynes manual?

Just take it to your local under the arches type of car repair shop, tell tham you are a poor student and need it for uni, they will test it for a packet of fags

They are 6V 35W American Pre Focus Lamps

I have loads of stuff, brochures and tests, tuning tips I would have to scan them though and email you ,,,Paul

I'm not too keen either, exhaust may be hard to find and as Cynic said...no MOT? I would prefer a good one and a runner, it will be interesting to see what it goes for

Dohh thats bad luck Pat however you look at it, youll find another times are tough for a lot of folks and some will have to sell their toys

Tank, magneto stator, exhaust, cdi, barrel and head...

Aahh so it has had a new barrel fitted, well that should be good...must have cost a fortune.

They wont touch it bacause it wont go in their bike lift and health and safety says they must not bend over

could well need torqueing, however!! dont be surprised if the studs start to pull right out of the barrel because the 30 year old threads have finally given up.

Nice a 1978 one, you forgot an intro in the noobs forum DT175's are a big favourite here. ...Paul

There will be a wiring diagram in the manual, I would guess though that the battery negative terminal (have you got a black wire on it) connects to black in the loom somewhere nearby. I think you are right and you have bitten off a lot, hope mrs bidders is a patient sort but you will learn a lot of useful stuff meanwhile ...Paul
