    Hi there
    Does anybody know the measurments of the crankshaft, more exactly nr 38 on the drawing, crankshaft right part number 1610653-01

    I am a bit worried that mine is not the original, hence the wrong flywheel, ignition and coil on my old bike. I am going to order a modern powerdynamo, but I am afraid it wont fit if my crankshaft isnt original

    125s all have the same snout up to '82, '82 and later they have the same as the bigger bikes. Only a 125 crank will fit, a 250-up crank is too big to fit in the cases of the 125, but the problem is the snouts are replaceable on the Husky's, any mag size crank snout from any year or size of Husky could have been put in your crank. It is very unlikely the snout has been replaced, but you never know what has been done to these bikes over the years.

    The small crank stub end should measure .540 inches at the small end of the taper. Take a look at this link, Craig at Huskyclub put together a lot of info on all Huskys. Don't think Craig is still doing business although the website is still up. http://www.huskyclub.com/ign.htm

    After doing some calculations that taper might be 15 to one. If you were to cut one.

    That Husky Club picture is wrong, the parts books show the 125 crank snout the same 72-87 but it changed in '82 to the same one as the bigger bikes and Husky didnt update the part number.

    That would be correct cause I think my 82 125 end is 14mm, same as 250, 430 and 500.

    Yes, the '82-'87 125 should be the same as the '82-'88 250-400-430-500. I ran into this problem the hard way. I used that Husky Club chart, and the Husky parts list, as a guide and ordered an ignition for my '82 125XC only to find out that it didnt fit. Luckily the ignition I bought did fit another bike I have, otherwise I would have been extremely upset.
