    Man people like that deserve to go to hell, fancy ripping off a nice lady like that 300 for something worth more than tripple that.

    I guess the moral of this story is not to go to a garage sale without $100 in your pocket:D

    people crack me up, I should go to hell for giving her 3 times what she was going to let it go for. When was the last time you did that? and if I would have had 400$ I probably would have given her that. She was very happy and so am I. Get over it. I just joined this sight to learn more about this bike and I see some of you want me to burn in hell. Classy. Jon

    No foul if the seller is happy with the price, only foul here is selling the bike out from under the other buyer "if" they had agreed it was sold.

    Sounds like juicy p was the one trying to get it for a 100 bucks. Other wise, why are you concerned with what she took for it ?
    Right place at the right time, sometimes that's just how life goes.
    This is a great forum to learn about husky's , don't let this hiccup stray you away . I have met and learned tons of info from here and usually everyone here is really friendly and willing to help, especially when you ask dum questions. I know I have, but I do try and lend some info that I have gained to any one that ask. It's all about the bikes not people here.

    Jon, did you get it running? I bought a 72' 250WR 3 weeks ago, still getting the bugs out.

    I am putting new plugs in first and changing tranny fluid before I start it. It has good compression and fresh gas now. I don't think it will be hard to fire up but I'm trying to figure out where to put the tranny fluid in from? Does it go in from where to crank case breather is coming out of the case?

    Yep, that's the fill, it takes almost 2 quarts, there is a fill level screw there on the left side.

    Thanks Guys, It now has tranny oil, new plugs, clean filter and fresh premix. I am going to try to start it over the weekend. Is there any thing else I should do before or check first? if not wish me luck. I think it will run but I have been wrong before.

    check for spark, and make sure theres a kill switch. check and see if the switch kills spark. seems we hear about alot of runaway situations here

    Well it looks like the owner before me removed the kill switch. So I will see what I can find. I am trying to stay as close to stock as I can with this bike. What is out there?
