Greetings. Trying to bring a 1977 cr 125 back to life. I'm having a hard time finding the rubber pieces to fit the bing carb that's stock on the bike, I've got pieces that will fit a mikuni. Does anybody have any info on swapping the carbs that they could share ( size of mkuni, jetting)? Any info on where to find the bing rubber pieces? Thanks.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I just ordered the
Mikuni VM34-389 Standard VM-Style Carb 34mm
I hopefully ordered the correct boots to fit this carb. I am sure I will have to tune it/jet.

the 1977 125 huskies were fitted with Mikuni carbs as standard in Europe. We tried a flat side Lectron on my bikes back in the day, but nothing came close to working as well as the Mikuni.

I tried 36mm and 38mm Mikuni VM series carbs on both my 77 Husky 125CR and years later again on my current 78 Husky125CR and in both instances went back to the Bing. Both times the Mikunis were well sorted out. The problem was the severe angle the carbs are mounted on the 77/78 125's required the fuel level to be set much lower than normal to keep the fuel from spilling out the pilot outlet port during hard braking or going down steep down hill sections of the track. The Bing handled this much better.
