Why not put in a new ironsleeve? I have read that some tuners nicasil the ironsleeve, but i think that is for getting a small power gain and with a 490 power should not be a problem

I have been told that RAL6018 is close, have not seen by myself yet..

I think "Jösse" Sven-Erik Jönsson used the FlipUp (one of the best enduro riders)

Do you have pic from other side? Engine looks like Franco Morini, but cylinderhead is strange, many brands used that engine

Hope you have luck on cafehusky. my guess is 79 based on frame and airbox, found these pics on google(not 100% on accuracy tho) and like oldmxracer said loop is cut. First is 78 and second is 79

If its original engine maby you could search by enginenumber? Guess you have search on Vintage Husky? Cool tank, is it alu or plastic?

Yes, but they are sold under the name Baboon Butt

Found a set in red, NOS unopend... Hell, i wanted a red set to go with a red helmet, but i cant open that package.. I see my memory was not right, its made by "miniMAN" not "AP Products" both companies was located in Sweden. This will be collecting dust

I used sodablaster to remove paint from plastic, but it is dusty..

CR125 -89 have conventional forks

Have same problem with my CR480, will try new wire. Have anyone compared Venhill to oem?

Maby the cylinderbase is milled to get lower portduration? How much is the piston over cylinder? If its much the cylinderhead would have been reworked.

When i look at the seal, the "flat" side is front and the side with sealing-lip and spring is "backside". I have installed a seal backwards on purpose once, beacuse there was damage on the surface, and it worked. But that was on a 50cc Franco morini.. ... more »

Backside facing out? Is that right?

The common ones, you push in before you start, pressure in combustion chamber close the valve

Yes, it is possible to do that, but only if you paint every part black. Just a joke! What is broken on the engine? Its better to repair then turn the bike to a bastard.

Tahitian red is the color of "Red Rocket" -78 -79 until -81, not sure of -82 model. -83 is Flash Red (more orange then the others) and until 87 (i think)
