Husky 125CR Project almost done

Just a couple more questions if I may please guys.

Bing carb - It has a choke and a "tickler". Why is this? Is the choke not enough?
I pushed the "tickler" and soon had fuel dripping like mad all over my engine.
I take it the fuel rises above the upright little pipe in the fuel bowl then pees out the bottom of the casing.

One member (hvaloz2) on here talked about converting his 125CR to running a 34mm Mikuni.
What are the advantages of doing this?
Other than buying the carb would I also need to purchase the inlet manifold for a 250cc?
Also what jetting would I go for and what other mods would I need to do?

Bike is nigh on done. I removed the carb because I wanted to check that "tickler" out so will get it back together this weekend and kick her over,

great looking bike! love the look with the blue tank as well..

Thank you Visiteur 1948. Very useful. Gives me something to go on...............and the chance to ask even more questions. Merci beaucoup

By 1978 I thought even the tiddler 125s had gone over to Mikuni carbs. The works bike of 77 had them, so I would have assumed they would have been standard on the '78 models. We even put flat slide Lechtron carbs on our bikes, but they were no better than the Mikunis.
