................ mine again is fitted with points, but some others claim they come standard with elec ignition.
I'm with Nathan on this - I'm 99.9% certain they all came standard with internal rotor CDI.

I swapped to the flywheel maggy for endruo - a great mod - pulled like a four stroke and revved like a two stroke 8).

Which one?

The DT- powered MX250 copped the mother of all over-revs at Canowindra (not me!) and now has a multi-part piston - and rings through the main bearings.
The DT125 needs a rod after it swallowed dirt about four years ago... I've got the new crank ready to go in, but haven't found the time and motivation together in four years....
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
