All 2st Grenade my motor?

I just recently bought a 1984?, don't have the title yet Husky 250 2 stroke.

Needs some serious work I think. My friend who owned it before me took it to the dunes a few times with paddles and everything. He went a little too hard on it and I guess blew the motor.

He told me I need to strip it down, have it machined and get a new piston, re bore the cylinder etc. As well as fix the kick starter which has no resistance probably because the motor is broken?

I know trucks and diesels but no much about bikes, totally different ball game to me.

If someone can help me out. I'll post pictures of the progress and what needs to be fixed and possibly someone can get on and respond with advice and or words of wisdom to aid me in the project I am about to start on.


One last thing. The kicker is on the left side of the motor(bike). Is that a Swedish thing? Is there a way you ca convert it over effortlesslyto the right side like most other bikes? I owned a Yamaha before and it was totally different than this one!

Thanks for reading my post! Respond with help and or email me your advice.

If you have a broken kick start pawl you won't feel any resistance. I really don't think you'll be moving the kicker to the other side either.

Thank you for doing that!
and yah, I see the issue with trying to move it.

I'm used to new bikes. This is going to be an adventure.

Nice Bike.
Previous owner was probably too lean for the dunes huh? That thing looks really light.

You'll get use to the left side kick sooner or later. I had a left side kick KTM took a little while to get the hang of it but not long. Nice ride!
