What happened to the battery box?
Do some searching here for the parts you need.
It's all here somewhere.
Good Luck!

You are going to be the DF mechanic!
Wanna hear how it performs compared to the original motor once you get it broken in.

I noticed the same seller has a Dong Fang engine for sale, LOL I wonder what bike it came out of?

df250rtb, if you cannot solve the engine problem, you might consider a new engine, due to the cost.

I got excited about it too but unfortunately that engine is local pickup only in LA CA.

I got the battery mounted and finally got the bike to start and sort of idle if I used the stock mesh intake it would idle super high if I opened the choke at all so I used a sponge from a temperpedic mattress topper to restrict some of the airflow and that worked a little.

but I cannot figure out how to adjust the idle either the idle screw is messed up or I'm adjusting the wrong one

Check the throttle cable under the tank. There is a splitter there that can get unseated. I am in VA for a bit and my DF is in NC. Also the slide in the carb can be installed improperly (backwards) causing high idle..

My battery comes from Walmart.
My clutch cable is from a Triumph
I made the battery tray I have so the battery would actually fit.
as for the electrical diagram, it should be in the book that was given when you bought the bike?
But I think someone on here has one posted in this thread.. you may need to do some back page research.

Great riding weather here in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

How's riding on the dragon on Wednesdays afternoon?I'm thinking of riding up in the next week er two.

ben2go,
Weii I was riding the Dragon this afternoon and came upon these two wrecked bikes.
Seems that an idiot rider ran wide on a curve about mile marker 2 and hit both these bikes.

You can see my Dong Fang parked behind the Aprilia.
Two of riders including the one who was the idiot were transported to the hospital in Knoxville.
So even though mid week is usually pretty quiet on the Dragon, there is no guaranteed you will not get taken out.

Let me know when you are coming and I will maybe meet you at Deal's Gap Resort.
