Hello, I have a Yamaha DT 175 H that I have been fixing up and making street legal again.

I have taken off the clutch side of the engine cover multiple times at this point and don’t really want to do it again if I don’t have too… but I am leaking oil that goes to my autolube pump. It is leaking at the connection between the oil tank and the hose that goes into the pump… pretty significantly.

In an effort to not have to pull the engine again and put a tighter clip on that hose, can I run the auto pump with no oil going to it and just mix the oil with the fuel before hand?

I am asking bc some pumps don’t run dry without self destructing. Thank you for any help!

So I gave a DT175H from 1981. The previous owner ripped out all the original wiring and components that went with that. I am trying to make it road legal again so adding back lights, horn, etc.

I am seeing in the wiring diagram there is a voltage regulator and I bought one off of eBay, but I am not quite sure of the location on the bike. Anyone know where it is suppose to go?

I am rebuilding my DT125 and I’m trying to remove the armature to split the cases. I have the tool on order at partzilla and Yamaha (90890-01111-00).

Both have ne eta. Does anyone have one I could borrow?

Lately I have had the opportunity to be introduced to the 1974 Yamaha Enduro. Is there a design flaw with the kickstart idler? Engine S/N's starting with 443 I have three all with kick start problems. Bearing failure, snap ring failure and thrust washer failure. I'm in Southern Ontario Canada looking for parts. I see some parts available on E-bay.com but border crossing has become problematic. I'm looking for a $1.50 item that run $50.00 USD shipping. I guess my question is does any know of a Yamaha vintage parts supplier somewhere else other than USA that would have a 132-15653-00-12 Thrust Washer?
