'82 430XC project

Hello Husky mentors lol.
Getting around to getting this 430 running. I bought it in a compulsive moment on ebay a couple years ago and was so disappointed when it arrived that in the shed it went. It came with a new piston, so I had the jug bored and had the black painted blasted, of the jug and head, with baking soda, as the '82 came ah natural. Ordered new reed pedals from mossbarger as this unit came with the MB reed valve. and waiting on the base and carb gasket, small end rod bearing to get here in the mail.
I spoke to a mechanic, who had worked on the bike (rebuilt the ohlins rear shocks) the year that I bought it and he said the carb was worn out (slide cylinder?) so I got ahold of a low mileage replacement carb from an '82 500. I read a thread in here already (thanks google) about jetting the 38 mm mikuni. Great info posted there. So in the next week or so, I'll be humbly asking for some advice and guidance to get this wonderful bike snorting again. Thanks in advance.

Look forward to seeing it-need pics tho. What kind of riding will you do with it?

Mostly hair scrambles down here. Too be honest, I'm fixing it up to sell it, unless it hooks me on the first or second ride. If it wheelies in every gear, I might have to keep it.

oh, it WILL wheelie.

Where did you find the link to jetting the 38 mm Mikuni?

I have been fighting the jetting on my 430 for months!

Thanks,
Jerry
