What kind of engine does a 1974 Yamaha dt250 have?
This is the perfect storm that brought us the Yamaha Trail 250. The DT series was produced from 1968 to 1985, with minimal changes. The 1974 DT250 was not a huge departure from the original. The power was produced from a single cylinder 246cc two stroke engine, which produced just under 19 horsepower.
Is the DT-1 better than the dt250?
The DT250 doesn’t have the legendary history of the DT-1, but it’s a better bike, and what’s wrong with that? You could commute during the day, ride trails in the evening, and even compete on the weekends.
Can a 1974 Yamaha dt250 be repainted?
The seller says that the frame was powdercoated, the bodywork was repainted, the engine was “freshened with new seals, gaskets, and rings”, and that everything works. The work was completed less than 6 months ago and the 2-wheeler has since spent time in a showroom collection.
When did the Yamaha DT-1 come out?
In 1968, Yamaha introduced one of their most important motorcycles of all time – the DT-1. They sold 50,000 units in the first year, which is a mind blowing number when you consider that last year, the FZ/MT-07 was Yamaha’s best seller in the US with 3,981 units sold.

How to troubleshoot a 2 stroke engine engine?
For the purpose of 2 stroke engine troubleshooting, we are going to keep the plug inspection simple. Ok, so you have the spark plug out of the motor, if the business end of the spark plug is completely caked with black crud, do yourself a favor and get a new spark plug right away. With that said, if the plug looks wet, you are getting fuel.
Where is the fuel Kill Switch on a 2 stroke engine?
You remembered to “turn on the gas” (your fuel shutoff valve is “on”). Your engine kill switch is in the “run” position. Yep, it’s that simple. Now this is of course providing your engine isn’t blown up with a hole in the piston or something.
What causes a 2 stroke engine to float?

How to set timing on Yamaha dt250 Enduro fans?
Turn the magneto till the points gap is maximum. Check with feeler gauges and then loosen the three screws and turn the entire stator till points gap is acceptable. 2. Go to 3.2mm before TDC and somehow check points open (maybe through multimeter using the connectivity setting, when circuit is open the point is open?) 3.
What should the point gap be on a Yamaha dt250?
Now rotate the flywheel until the points are at maximum opening and measure the point gap. If the gap is within the allowable range (usually 0.012″ to 0.016″) then you’re done. Do not adjust the point gap again or you will mess up the timing!
Why does my outboard start and run for 1 minute then dies?
Not open for further replies. My outboard did not start and did not have any spark/sometimes intermittent spark. So on a hunch i decided to replace power pack (used) and sure enough that fixed the problem. Now it starts, however, it only stays for about 1 minute then shuts off.
