Hi. I'm looking for a set of centercases or bottom end for a 76 250cr,
part # 16 11 464 01. (175 and 360 look to be the same same part #) This
is if I can't get my case machined to accept a bearing sleeve. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks john

76 250 WR = 33".  I'll look for the 78/79 info

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the seat heights of the 78 and 79
Wr's compared to the 76 Wr's Thanks  Steve

1976 360 XC: Came with a Gurtner carb. I want to use a Mikuni. The
Mikuni does not clamp on to the manifold like a Gurtner or a Bing.
Does the Mikuni manifold bolt to the engine, just like the Bing
manifold? Is there any difference in the bolt pattern? Where can I get
a Mikuni manifold? Does anybody have a Mikuni or a Bing for sale? Does
anyone need a Gurtner 38mm, stock factory carb on the 1976 360 WR
Cross Country, GP, magnesium engine.

                 Thanks,

Now this is a Husky! eBay item number: 4580846726

Has to be a first for me. I've seen many different brands converted
but never a Husky.

You should have a 38 mikuni and a 390 main jet the slide is correct at 2.0. Check your reeds too, the needle to start should be in the seconde slot from the top. This settings would give you a good start.

Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 11:07:18 -0000

Hello All,

I have a problem, My 83 aircooled wr250 runs rough and i'm pretty
sure the carb is setup wrong or is the incorrect size. The bike
starts easily and sounds good when reving, but when I puul away and
increase the revs it splutters and coughs, like the 2 stroke is
horribly starved. I have tried moving the needle with no real
improvement.

I have a Mikuni 40mm roundslide (1083)

It has the following settings:

Main Jet-  44H (440)
Needle Jet- ?
Idle Jet-  45
Air Jet-   2.0
Needle-   6DH20
Throttle (Slide) 2.0


Tom form this forum suggested these as stock settings:

Main Jet- 450
Needle Jet- P-8
Idle Jet- 45
Air Jet- 2.0
Needle- 6F16
Throttle (Slide) 2.0
Needle Position- #4 from top
Air Screw opening from bottom- 1.5 turns

I have just called my Mikuni supplier and he thought:
- That a 40mm carb could be to big.
- 450 is probably to large a main
- Needle Jet- P-8 only fits upto 38mm.

Can anyone confirm what the standard carb size and settings are ?
If not what works for you on the same or similar (CR) bike.

Many Thanks

Regards

Dave

The Autos are a bit fragile,engage the transmission and away you go,air cooled were 4 speed,water cooled 3 speed,parts are expensive and hard to find,the trannie works by centrifugal force,as the motor spins up it gets to a point where the next gear takes up.Blindingly fast in tight bush,ZERO engine braking with the throttle closed no matter what the speed,good brakes are very handy.

I have an 81 420 air cooled,I have been having trouble with the jetting lately,std main is 430,I am now at 380,and am trying a leaner

needle jet,this is after resleaving it back to std bore and new piston,I am hoping its the crap fuel around now,it starts well and runs

to half throttle then bogs.When I first got it years ago it was not a good trail bike,it only would run clean on the main and then change gear,after filing the slide it could be tricked to bop around slowly and not change up.I hope I have not put you off,when they

start reliable,no bump start,its kick or nothing and they go well its really good fun.With your leg problem can you kick start a left

side kicker.

I recently joined this group with interest in restoring an old Husky. I
owned a 78 CR 250 and a 79 WR390 years ago and remember how I like
those bikes. Now, my situation is complicated by injuries from a street
bike accident that has left me paralized below my knees.  I currently
ride a 2003 450 EXC with a revloc.  It really works nice and would like
to get this or a Rekluse for the bike I restore.  In the event they are
not available or easily adaptable to an older bike an Auto would be the
choice. My questions are:
       1.  How do they shift, Like a regular transmission with no 
           no clutch mess with.  ie. still shift gears? or do you
           Just put them in "Drive" so to speak and the

I saw a pretty rough '74 CR125 yesterday that the fellow said he would sell for $400.

 

Engine looked pretty good but jug and head were off. No rust that I could see and had been stored inside. I'd guess it was fine. Frame had been stored outside and was under some grown over berry bushes. Forks looked OK. Front rim original. Back was alumn but not orig. Tank was painted all black but looked pretty straight. Not much else there. No seat. Best just to consider it only a motor, orig pipe, frame, tank and wheels.

 

Not a great buy in my mind but to someone looking for a 125, maybe interesting. BTW, he had the title.

 

Let me know if you want contact info. It was in Tacoma, WA.

 

Robert

Hi all:
Its sprocket and chain changing time.
Does any modern Yam/Kaw/Suz/Hon/KTM sprocket interchange with a 1973
125 Husky?

Greetings Gang,

I've posted some photo's of a Husky I found in a barn loft. They are in the McCook folder. I haven't spoken to the owner yet as I understand he's currently out of the country. What I know so far is that the engine turns free, seems to have good compression and it's an auto with 1300 miles on the odometer. Any help on identifying it and what it's worth would be welcome. Thanks!

Michael

Michael,

It looks like a 1981 to me assuming it's fairly stock. It has the '81
forks and side panels. I'm pretty sure that the '81 Autos didn't get
the new style gas tank that the others models did, so the older style
rectangular style would be appropriate. That's about as much help as I
can be right now.

Michael,
Proper ID would begin with the Engine and Frame numbers.  Myself, I
don't really know anyting about the autos (other than finding out year
etc. from the numbers.  As far as what it's worth, someone else will
have to help you out on that one.  (maybe post a few more pics?)

Good luck

Thanks Steve,
I'm with you on the typo's, 40 year old machinist hands don't work

As far as the adoption goes I'm currently looking for a rich uncle…
lol.
I thought that since my dad bought me my first motorcycle (Honda SL
