nklr... ancient 2 strokes

I have a 1980 175G DT which I got for the back of my trailer when we go
on holidays. Put road tyres on it, and fitted a 12 litre Tour Tank to
move the range from a bit over a hundred km to a bit longer than three
hundred, and it is a perfect run-around.
I got the specs off the net, 14HP, 121 km/hr. from the factory, but my
self-imposed limit is 90, and it works well.
