Title: B/D175 engine question
Post by: berniej on 24 Sep, 2022, 14:12

I'm looking at a bike in bits - with a view to buy - that the numbers indicate was an Aug 69 built D175.
I've only seen pics but the head has an angled plug and the nearside crankcase is marked 'Super'.
Can this be right for a D175 engine please?

Many thanks,
Bernie

No those features are not B175 probably D7.

B175 would have a centre plug head and the nearside is like this.

This photo is a cover from a D7 Super, it does not fit the B175 engine.

Thanks Julian,
Just challenged the seller and it changed from matching numbers to "well it's wot I got"

Saved me a wasted journey!!

Bernie
