  1. Spark plugs can be so temperamental on 2 strokes, good you got her running.
  2. Has it run at all? how old is the fuel?
  3. Hello AA...I'm on Ilkley moor by tat

  5. This is the noobs forum not the garage! Its a place where you can intro yourself hopefully before you start with the questions
  6. Ahh yes mine doesnt have that, thinking about it the water temperature sybol is a clue eh?
  7. But I dont know of any led's in a DTR speedo! are you confusing led with lamp?
  8. Greeting Ian, have fun and stay safe
  9. No idea on that one its an old bike so its whether you can source one used I suppose, dunno if living in Denmark may be a problem or not. Obvious answer is ebay. Personally I would fix it up as it is.
  10. If you PM alexasigno he will put your name straight
  11. Its all abit confusing, our MX's were your (American) DT175E, F, G The prefix is 2A7 They were the monoshock bikes with 6 speed transmission However from what I understand the American MX's were without some street running gear werent they, lights, horn and the like (not 100% on that though) The prefix 443 is DT175A, B. As Cynic said it is an earlier bike, (twinshock) 5 speed. The engine will fit I think and for a field bike would be fine, I think that there is a slight difference in the chain run (5mm more outward on the monoshocks) but that shouldnt matter really on a field bike. However the electrics are different and the early bike runs with points.
  12. Greetings pj
  13. Greetings Halfevilman
  14. Greetings expatscoseukingvi (typo)
  15. Bids were around £750 this morning. Maybe someone made an offer to buy it now, we will never know.
  16. If there is only one pipe (fuel) there will be no prime position. If there is another pipe that would mean it is a vacuum tap and it will have a prime position. Myself I would think it is not a vacuum tap and I will hazard a guess that down is ON horizontal is OFF and up is RESERVE. ...Paul
  17. Welcome to the forum Will, perhaps a mention in the Noobs would be appropriate. I cant help specifically but I would think that the WR125 X (x is supermoto right?) would be a great looking bike that can also commute a bit, I bought a DT175 as a commuter in 1983 and still have it ...Paul
  18. so are pistons
  19. LOL batteries come from SHOPS and the like
  20. Pics are crap Dean get a new camera but only looks very minor marking and what puzzles me is they are not vertical scores? Does it really need a new piston...why not just rings? Like I say pics are crap so I might be missing something here
  21. Greetings Luke, (captain sensible)
