  1. JJ-UP Husqvarna

    Yup a newbie here... My apologies in advance for a few questions that some consiider redundant.

    I have always wanted a Husky. Going all the way back to the mid 1970's. I just bought one a few weeks ago in a unusual deal with a local bicycle shop owner. His son owned the bike and needed to get rid of it since his girl friend is expecting.

    The bike is a CR125 from what I can determine and has lived kind of a hard life. It has a AMA Pro Racing sticker on it. The number is #2245. So it was a racer at some time.

    First off I need to determine the year. I was told it was a 2001 but I am not sure. Tenth digit on frame ID is a 1

    The bike starts but does not sustain itself at idle. This bike sat sat up so I am certain the carb needs a clean-up/rebuild. I need a recommendation on a good place to find parts.

    I have only 4 stroke experience. I suspect the top end needs a rebuild as there is alot of oil "blow by" Fouling the plug.

    Just found this forum and wandered in. It appears to be a friendly place. Thank you in advance.
