new puzzled member

Hey all, I've got a Husky that I've been working on for the past few months gathering parts and such. Currently though, I'm not so sure what the bike is. The frame number is 842251951h cp25300 at first I was told its 430. But the frame number looked like that of a 250. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a picture. I have the rest of the plastics if it would help.

How about engine size? The jug is gray with a blue top plate. bottom end is black. Had an ngk br8es plug in it if that helps.

The other thing I find odd looking at all the pictures between 86 an 88 is the rear spring was I think originally yellow. Mine is blue. I was thinking that somone swapped or had it powdercoated but with how tatered it looks it could've been original.

87 or 88. go here to figure the numbers out http://www.huskyclub.com/model.htm looks like an 87 250cr

The frame number would indicate a 1987 430CR. The engine number should start with 2171

it's an 87 cr250 as far as I can tell. I have a blue spring on my shock & it's heavier wt. than yellow. What is the number on the engine. Left side by the kicker. Does the rear brake back plate have a long "stay" arm to anchor it or does it slide onto a block on the inside of the swingarm.?

1614574 is the only number I can find. Its on the jug right at the intake tube flange. Says made in Sweden below it. I found the one by the kicker starts 2094 rest is obscured by black powder coat or really good paint. Also. It appears to have a six speed gearbox.

Rear brake stay. I'm gonna go with its supposed to be a long arm.

I see 2094 listed for 1984 250 & 1984 500 engines. The brake is definatly a cr & that brake stay is home made. Looks like it might be a mix of years...not sure if the 1984 500's were liquid cooled. I'm pretty sure they did make 250 liquid cooled in 84.

Hmm. Interesting. You guys are great with information that's for sure. Any definitive way to figure the engine size based on looks or attachments or bolts or anything?

I'm sure there is.......might take a little time & others to chime in. Do some searching on here...most of this stuff has been covered before. I'm not the expert...just know my bike which is similar frame (mines a WR) with 430 motor.

I was talking engine...the frame is a 87.

is that bike a 6 speed or 5?

6 speed

That's cool, but that means it's a WR or a XC not a CR engine, unless someone changed it. The 6 speed will fit in a 5 speed case & vice versa but the cases need to be split to do it. You can go to halls website to see parts manuals for all huskys..it's a little confusing until to find your way aroundhttp://www.halls-cycles.com/default.asp?page=catalogs.

many of the parts are interchangeable but to be sure you can compare part numbers in Hall's.

The frame is an 87 for sure but its a parts bike from the looks of it
When I get home I will post a picture of an 87 CR 250
It should have an early power valve
All the 80's engines will fit the frame 84 to 88 were liquid cooled and yours is that just which
Look by the kick starter for 2 4 digit numbers
CP on the steering head is a CR by the brake should be the mount for the brake backing plate link
The forks on an 87 CR should be White Power inverted
