Airhead

interesting topic tiltle richard...'trouble at mill?'

have you got a haynes book steve? you need to test the magneto coils and the ignition coil, the figures will be in haynes book

horn, tail light, turn sigs, pilot light and instrument lights need the battery Richard, headlight is AC straight from the flywheel generator, member NEO did a comprehensive topic on 12v conversion for these

welcome in richard nice to see a decent intro yeah that are great little bikes, we call them DT175MX here

Love it john, i've never seen one before, are they rare? that radiator is HUGE!

how is it obvious? you will have to take the head off to examine the piston crown to see if it's been rebored, scrape off the carbon and look for a stamped number, you would need to order piston and or rings at this same size assuming the bore isnt worn out. I have used quality head gaskets twice (the black ones) with a very fine bead of silicone manifold gasket just around the circumference of the bore on each side and had no issues, dont plaster it on all over and thick or you may find it difficult to remove the head next time. Oh and dont forget to drain the coolant first, yes i have heard of people filling their crankcase with the stuff!!!

Cheers mate???? listen pongo or whoever you are it's 'Airhead' The engines from early/later bikes can easily be identified by their different oil pump covers. Engine# is stamped on the elevated part of the left rear section of the engine

The blade is something else...one to cherish

fazer would be a better option for 40 miles regular M_way
