    @Calum everything seems to be right. Ypvs works. I pulled out the plug yesterday, on the end of the ground electrode there were a small bit of carbon, i thought that was causing the problem. I swapped the plug, and same thing happens when the bike gets hot. Could it be pre ignition? I've read that carbon deposits on the piston could cause pre ignition when the bike heats up.

    My thoughts are the standard airbox is quite sufficient if you remove the snorkel. you would only benefit from making that hole another few centimetres bigger and thats if you were fitting a larger carb which wouldn't really have much benefit unless you had atleast mild porting or head work zeeltronic ect ..

    Pick up a cap from the Scrappy, any car one with the same pressure will work aslong as it has the old style rad cap. You'll pay Penny's for it.

    @Glynn123 You said in my other post about me porting your cylinder, I advise you to send me the head aswell to get it machined to spec and derestrict it, as for rings, can't beat yamaha original ones for stock yamaha piston.

    It'll be a 3MB cylinder. You want the 3MB head to go with it. 3BN heads are restrictive.

    @britshgigolo make sure that you get the right width bearings as the original are narrower than the typical ones for the DT's diameter

    @Bananper Get yourself one of these bud, give it a good swish around the bottom end and hopefully you will pick up any loose fragments; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flexible-Shaft-Bendable-Magnetic-Pick-Up-Tool-With-LED-Light-And-Strong-Magnet/391962870896?epid=15017009964&hash=item5b42cec470:g:L00AAOSwR0JUO~Ya:rk:72:pf:0 Also change your oil 3-4 times within the first month after the engine is rebuilt, just to flush out any remaining debris.

    Yeah, most use 2% as a rule of thumb I saw a chart on the auto-pump back in the days, as I recall it pumped out 3-4% af WOT, and way less just idling or at low throttle operations. Kinda shows you the beaty of the auto-pump. Some info here: http://www.dansmc.com/2_stroke_oilpump.htm
