The tank in the photo is a YZ80 (steel) but the photo was taken a year ago. I've got a YZ125 tank (alloy) for it now. The photo shows the engine as a piston port DT1 but it's getting a reed RT2MX motor  now. This is my tank before dispatch to Oz.

Sounds like it is running lean Iain, did you change the jetting at all?....the only difference would be the higher compression making the motor more efficient.....are GYT carby specs much different?

Wow what a difference DT1 main jet 160 , DT1mx 200 . DT1 pilot 35 , DT1mx 80 . Valve seat 2.0 DT1 , DT1mx 2.5 .  slide cut away DT1 2.5 , DT1mx 3.5 . DT1 needle is 5d1-3 and the DT1MX is 5DP7-3 . A fair bit of difference there . Time to have a look in the box of jets . Iain

Not sure if i read it rite, but, if you put a GYT kit head on a standard ported DT1 cylinder i don't think you'd have to change the [std carb] much [if at all]. I did try that once on a fairly worn piston port DT1 but just made the rattly piston rattle worse. In saying that, i probably never knocked the timing back a bit [40 odd years ago!!], in those days i used to think more was better [advance]--slow learner 'me'. Standard DT1 pipe might be strangling it so far as making use of more power [high com] which might be just creating more 'heat' [as i think you said]. I'll stop there thanks just in-case i have my wires crossed & heading off track [good at that]. Cheers. ps, higher com needs higher octane fuel too of course.
