    First time poster;

    It's been nearly 30 years since I owned a Husky.

    Yesterday I found a 1978 250 OR locally. It runs, albiet with very low compression. The bike is pretty worn out, but surprisingly is all there and is in very good condition.

    Some clues tell me this might have been used for hillclimbing. Did the combination of wr/cr gearing make this a good hillclimber?

    Regards,

    Rich
