WANTED: 1974 YZ125 or MX125 rear wheel & intake manifold

[ChrisACT]

Does anyone have a 1974 YZ125 or MX125 rear wheel they would like to part with?

[ChrisACT]

I'm also after a 1G8 intake manifold.  I believe they were on the YZ125X and the YZ175 among other bikes.

Or any other manifold that will let me put a 35mm carb (40mm spigot) on a DT100 reed block.

I'm pretty sure 1G8 manifolds have a bigger bolt spacing....maybe the same as a 250.....you might struggle to bolt the sucker up to a DT100 barrell. YZ125X had a 34mm carby and a YZ125C had a 30mm one. You can fit a 32mm carby into a MX/YZ125A intake manifold....they where 28mm I think.

[ChrisACT]

Thanks.  I think you're right about the 1G8.  Too big for what I need.

The DT100 is the same bolt spacing as some of the YZ85s.  The plan is to run a YZ85 V-Force reed block on it with a Mikuni TMX35 running methanol.  If I can't get a carby boot to do this, I can always back it off to a VM28 (which I already have).  That will fit in the carby boot I have.  Will lose a little top end but if it don't fit, it don't fit.

I'm thinking that Banshee intakes might do it.  They're the same bolt pattern as the RD250 which is the same bolt pattern as the DT100.
I know there are some guys out there running 34mm - 38mm carbs on Banshees.

[ChrisACT]

Yep, I can get Banshee or Blaster manifolds that will handle carbs up to 39mm for this bolt pattern.

And I've found a YZ125 hub.

All good.
