Hello and welcome azza, awesome 125 you got there, take care of it and on it!

And a big HELLO to you too m8, Oh and also a big WELCOME

Hello and welcome caseyadam, wow what a steal you got there!

Isnt there a dipstick on the oil filler on this bike?

If you dont know why its not fuel problem then why not eliminate this, the fact that it starts and then runs briefly could suggest va fuel problem. Why not pull off the fuel line and switch to prime to see if theres a good flow...could be just a drip...a partially blocked filter

Hi its important that the fuel tap is eliminated as being the problem, they are usually vacuum operated...does your tap have a 'prime' position?

If im right in thinking its a 4 cylinder, pinpoint the problem cylinders thus: - From stone cold, start the engine and feel all the exhaust header pipes, the ones that stay cold are the problem...Take it from there. You say it will run with the outside plugs removed, you should not do this unless the plugs are in the HT caps and they are grounded, it can damage your electronic ignition, just something i once read...no personal experience of this

Hello and welcome from me too

How did you test the timing, with a strobe? Have you solved the problem yet??

DT175MX Wheel Here you go m8, Ive got one of those bikes too! chadkoch1989 Posted Today, 04:06 PM no one wants to help me out? Not many of these around, not many people know the answers

Wheres that then lotty?

Glad you fixed it lotty without too much grief, as for gasket i think you should attempt to buy new, dont recommend joining compounds, they make it too difficult to remove in future, the only place you should use that is on a crankcase split and rebuild Look here

Another sad loss of a great biking talent. RIP Craig

Hello Drew and welcome

Well done V05, now you can talk instead of just 'lurking' eh! Take care now.

Its all a matter of confidence norrie, why not get some miles in on quiet roads first, get accustomed to the bike and you will fell more confident, then you will find it much more enjoyable, after this go and get in the city traffic and show command of your bit of the road Take care

On mine (DT175MX) there are numbers 1 to 6 moulded in to the engine casing, why not check to see if yours has?

Hi and welcome Cat, good luck with your project You might find this place useful Clicky Link

Hello MEAN 1, welcome to the forum, nice bike, what mods did you do then?, show us some pics in gallery if you want

Great

Hi an2ony, welcome to the forum

Thats about 5.30am at the mo...I'll be waiting

Undo the locking ring on the cable adjuster on the clutch lever, screw the adjuster in one complete turn (clockwise) and tighten the lock ring again this should give you a little more free play, take it out tomorrow and hopefully it will be ok, have a look at the routing of the cable see if you think it looks right. Let us know how you go on.
