anybody know any info on this machine? what kind of a battery does it need? Do you have to mix oil on this machine? Does it have points?

Honda xr's are 4 stroke so no oil mixing and being a '78 it would have points. It would take a 6 volt battery instead of a 12 volt, denniskirk has a yuasa for $16.99 or a parts unlimited for $7.99. Hope this helps.

you dont need a battery on an XL250 all the battery does is keep the lights fully lit when the engine isnt reved. My 72 has a dead batt and it's lights just dim a little when idleing or putting slow.
