OOPs I did it again
#1
So after buying a 1973 DT100 just for fun, this little gem shows up on CL. 1982 DT100 with only 163 miles showing on the clock. It is not pristine but I couldn't resist.

I thought they used timing belts, not chains...

Uhh.... no timing chains, no timing belts.. the timing was all static mechanical- the physical location of the ports in the cylinder.

Why would you need a belt or a chain when there are no valves, no cams, and therefore no rotational driven opening mechanism?

Cheap and easy- no need to buy high performance camshafts, no need for bigger valves, no need for different valve springs.

Where's my dremel? was all you needed to know.

Somehow I don't think I am going to turn a 100cc trailbike into a raving 2 stroke monster Smile
