1987 250WR piston or alternatives

Mogly, wait for piston before sending the cylinder out for boring.
I have a 87 WR which has a piston with 2 rings meanwhile the other 87 with power valve has one ring piston.

Ajcmbrown: I will try to take some pics asap.

exactly, a good shop wont finish the job till piston is in hand. mine bores until round then advises which size to get, i drop off piston and they hone to fit piston..

Thanks RUF!

Anyone who will do a rebore without the piston in hand is a dickhead .

But that was funnier tho...lol

If you want a extra cylinder there's a guy on Craig's list, northeast, ct with used husky parts.

Post 1 is from Sacramento Ca. I found a listing perhaps the one you mention in north western Ct. I am in Northeast Ct and best as I know the correct craiglist is New London for my area.

He's in Bristol,ct near me. I sold him my '98 Husqvarna 250wr.

too bad the cases are rough, the cranks need rebuilt, topends need rebuilt....lots of corrosion...
rods arent cheap

I found this piston on my 1987 WR....just strange noise coming form the motor and I decided to look inside cylinder....

.....

the new one....

Don't send it out for boring until you have the piston. They need to bore to suit the piston you will use.

I will rough bore a cylinder till it's clean. Then I can mic it for the correct replacement piston.

SHOWS YOU JUST HOW TOUGH THESE OLD HUSKYS REALLY ARE STILL IN ONE PIECE AND RUNNING.... DAMN

Troy, !!!
Thats why I LOVE THEM !!!

years ago in my 240 watercooler I was flat strap over a paddock when I felt it hesitate and change note and started to work a little harder than it did. it had a crack just under the wrist pin around the skirt but hadn't reached the bottom ( TC).
