do a compression test chris, the motor could be worn out fella, if you're lucky just new rings will sort it but start with a comp test

Greetings chris, hopefully you'll get the answers you're looking for

If the gearbox is full of fuel, is there any chance the carb float valve is passing and fuel enters the crankcase constantly , given that the petrol tap is passing or switched on? Also check the fuel overflow tubing is not raised up higher than the spigot it attaches to, or crimped/blocked

you dont need to buy plates if your plates are within spec...use a vernier and check they are out of spec first before you buy

is the clutch slipping? check the oil level and that you used proper bike specific oil, as in not car oil

If it runs well with points why change it?

Ive got port map diagrams for77DT125F DT125MX 77DT175 and DT175MX, you'll have to give me a week though to scan and post them up

shouldnt there be a seal retainer plate keeping that RH seal where it should be?, there is on DT's

Yep, bump start it backwards, than ask your mate if he wants a race

40 kicks! that aint right is it.

I have evolved into preferring paint myself, but I am in the minority from what I've seen on peoples resto's

Great intro Andy, not much left out there fella wow the Fiat is a stunner, I can see the DTMX is going to be very smart too now yeah the regulator is mounted on a plastic battery box? so a short black wire with a ring terminal around the mounting screw is the way forward

could it be a slipping clutch, what oil did you use?

is your gear lever hitting an engine casing therefore needing to be moved on the splined shaft?

Yep greetings rokkchic, was down your way last weekend a...derby rugby club at a rally welcome to the yamaha family

could have got cleaner just as good from any pound shop, that abrasive paste stuff in a little tub

£14.99...more money than sense! lol

there are always clips

Get yourself a workshop manual steve

Greetings mate

yes arrow and dot is on the DTR I think

give the cable some slack, use the adjuster at the lever

you assembled it wrong steve, was there some rubber damper rings between the plain plates? my guess is that you put two of these in next to each other instead of either side of a plain plate...just a guess though but you'll have to strip it down again BTW did you put all the plain plates in as you should...theres a right way to do it...know what i'm talking about?

Good to see you back Sacha you've been missed, so let's see the finished DT then
