Been looking for an MK Husky for many years. Finally found one in pretty decent shape.
So now the journey begins. It appears to me to be a very low hour bike. I pulled the head and it looked unbelievably clean.
That's after wiping the oil off with a paper towel.
I think it's the original piston. Standard bore is 81.50 and it's stamped 8142 ????? Not sure
what the 52/110 means.
Here's the piston before I cleaned it up for the photo. I used to race Huskys and this
is in better shape than after 3-4 races.
I have one last question for the evening. It appears someone may have performed a
LeFevre frame modification on the bike.
Because the gas tank doesn't fit over the rear bolt hole.
It's been a few (45) years since I worked on Huskys, thought maybe some of the experts
on this forum could help me out.
Thanks,
Bill
