1973 Husqvarna 250WR

Regarding the drive chain being so close to the shock, it surprises me how long Husky used that set up. The 1975 ML GP frame was the first year the close tolerance was addressed.

Your project started easy enough. Must have the timing in a sweet spot.

Topped tye oil in the engine and forks ad went for a guick trial

Sounds rich. Did it clean out once it warmed up?

I haven't checked full throttle but have to check all the fasteners and the head torque. Then another warm up and check. Then I'll start messing with the Carb or switch it with a new Mikuni. I added extra oil for the brake in so that may be the excess smoke and possible blubbering. But when it starts to rev that CR Piston and Rod get to the pipe very quickly! It has an old Bing on it that I think I just sprayed out with Brake clean. So I'm very happy with that as It's gonna get sold anyway. That's why no Wassel Tank Or DG Pipe. And no Chain Rash on the Ohlins!!

Working on the pipe guard and added a inner pipe to the header.

Too much fuel in the low rpm range. Which Bing carb do you have? The later model Bings had larger jetting including the pilot, the main, and jet needle. These were carbs 1/36/114 and 1/36/116. The earlier pre 75 250's had the 103 and 106 Bings and were jetted leaner.

That pipe is going to look bitchin' once its finished. The fact that it tucks further under the tank will save the leg from getting roasted when standing up.

This bike is done except the rubber plug in the sprocket cover and the clutch cover model ID tag. It took 4 yrs to get here. DANG

Looks awesome Chris! I especially like your one-kick start walkaway! A 'drop the mike' moment : )

Not bad for a Broken old fat guy. Headed to a Non-discript building in the am. A Ton O Parts. Do ya feel Lucky?

Search was a bust for early stuff. Except a 73 wrcades with the lower end and a set of 73 cr cases.
But if you need 390 stuff let me know.
No wheels or such fixins. Few later 75-80 frames.
I am loooking for frame MJ- 00438 to match my 0008 2021 motor that was sold to Ron Bohn an ISDT rider.

Finding that frame sounds like a 1 in a million chance. Can't help but wonder; what would someone want with the frame/chassis without the motor?

Its said that the older you get the faster time speeds up. I'm at the point that a year feels like a week, so it would now take me 25 years to restore a bike, or would it be 3-1/2 days, IDK.

One in a million so true.
Frame is probably destroyed by now but it don't hurt to look.
And yeah the time is flinging. I still got a pile of bikes and motors to do. Too much fun!!
