    You can do it. In the beginning I paid a dealer to do crank seals it cost me $150. I stripped the case down. I knew then and there I'm going to do it and learn.
    I would take pictures while you disassemble it. To me the only thing that may seem hard at first is timing the gear selector. My only advice is to pre lube all your seals.
    I'm sure we can walk you through it.

    I have started on the job. Doesnt seem to complicated. ALso, I have stripped down my Enfield a few times, and this looks easier. Thanks anyway. I will need all the help I can get from you guys!

    Trust me it's simple. Place everything in order as you remove it. Disassemble it and place the parts in a row going to the right. To reassemble work from the right to the left.
    Keep the gears on the two shafts.
    Be aware of the clutch basket washers.
    You can do this.

    Trouble brewing...... im hopeless at this level. can do a top end no drama but open up them cases and I get dyslexia and go left to right??:eek: I always get an experienced man to do this bit. I know it sounds easy but someone who has done 50 cranks knows the little things that make a good job stay a good job.

    on the third engine remove and case split, you begin to think you should have paid someone the first time...:thinking:

    up to you if you have the confidence and desire to know the ins and out of the Husky two cycle engine, go for it.:thumbsup:

    hmm. There are so many things about my bike I dont understand. The engine is a disaster with cracks and broken thread all over. I am considering to buy a 250 engine on ebay for it. Maybe it is even the original for it?

    IMG_3934.jpg the number on it is ML24602 My papers says WR125 1978. Do you think that is right? I havent measured the bore of the engine. It would explain a lot if I have bought wrong parts for this bike, because I still have a lot of trouble with it.
