    hey guys, I'm new to the forum and glad I found it...I'm resurrecting my 76' WR250 and want to put on a Mikuni kit but see there are options of using a 36 or 38mm...any suggestions on which is best?......anyone ever use a Keihin on this era Husky?...I would love to find some porting specs also!

    and any thoughts on how an aftermarket CR pipe would work on this WR?

    thanks very much

    hard to beat that Bing...if you learn how to clean and adjust it, they are a bare bones work horse of a carb,,,same thing for the pipe....
    if it aint broke...dont fix it..

    I put a 36mm Mikuni on my 75' WR250 and really liked the results . It made the bike easier to start and gave better throttle response in my opinion . I also like the Mzb ignition , Boyesen reeds , and ProForm Racing pipe that eventually ended up on the bike .

    thanks halffast....did you buy a Mikuni kit or just acquire the different parts yourself?....I'm curious on what shocks you are using?
