79 CR 250 info

Gang,

I’ve been searching for info on my 79 Cr 250 restore.

I need the ignition timing in mm, so I can use my dial indicator.

Also need to replace the shock,but don’t know the stock shock eye to eye length?

The 250 was setup for desert racing & seems very tall to me, heck the seat is taller then my 81 Maico 490!

This tech sheet is from the Husky Manual for frame ML 6000-15999. Should cover your 79.

79 250CR has MM frame, only 1979 125CR has ML frame

Thanks for the correction on the frame type in 79. Was the same 250CR motor used in the MM frame as was used in the late ML?

Possible. The big difference between the 1978 and 1979 engine was jetting changes because of a 300% flow increase in the 1979 airbox. Much larger main jets are required because an early test of the 1979 390CR had the 1978 jetting. That test had 3 light seizures until the main jet got bumped up 3 or 4 sizes.

Yes,


Marty
