A 1974 yamaha DT250 that I traded a Tyco RC Hovercraft for. That bike taught me about timing, burn a tank, mess with the points, burn a tank, mess with the points. Man I'm glad motorcycles improved & my skill at working on them

I had the same problem with my DT175 until I went down and bought some Genuine Yamaha points.
Those lasted for several years until I finally sold the bike...
I sure loved that bike.

My guess is that it was.
If not I'm sure it was messy.

His user name could be the end result of that photo, or atleast explain why that'd happen.
No offence I have a cat we named Retard Boy. He's just that sweet
