Here is the reccomended jetting for the 1980 250/390 CR from ProCircuit for Southern California elevation 0 to 3000 ft

Pro Circuit knew Huskys back in the day information is a direct quote from ProCircuit

250 CR Husky 1980

38 mm Mikuni Round slide

Stock Needle 6DH3 change to 6F15

Stock Main jet 430 change to 480

Stock R2 Needle Jet change to R0 or Q8

Go to a 60 Pilot

These changes from the stock factory bike will result in cleaning up the bottom end and make the top end a lot fatter.

390 CR Husky 1980

38mm Mikuni Round Slide

all the same changes but go with a 50 Pilot

Also recomended:

Throw away the stock Husky air boot clamps and replace with standard hose clamps

Seal the air boot to the air box with Silicone Sealeant

If you are repainting the Gold fork legs / Handlebars on '81 and '82 Husky's and using spray cans several people have reccomended:

Rust-oleum Metallic "Gold Rush" #7270 as the closest quality spray match to the Husky original.

[HuskyT]

Several people have reccomended the following for spray can silver on Husky Frames

Rust-oleum Appliance Epoxy "Stainless Steel" #7887 as the closest match to the original Husky frame color

Fast drying and cures out hard and tough.

Duplicolor Aluminum Engine Enamel # EDE1516

Duplicolor Silver #T229

Again this is if you are using spray cans....

Ok - the name says Maico Only...... I have heard though through reputable sources that he rebuilds Husky motors as well and builds custom expansion chambers, silencers etc.... He also does a lot of performance mods and pipes for older Yammies, Maico's and Husky's.

If this is wrong someone can correct me.....

For those who don't know the parts differences between 1977 ,'78 and '79 vs. the newer style 1980 here it is in picture detail

the 1980 swingarm was basically 1" longer ( Titanium finish swingarm) 23 1/4" and gave the Husky a longer wheelbase ... it tracked very well / was more stable with this swingarm

here is a close up

The shock mounts while all on the top of the swingarm tube did not get strength gussets until 1980

The chain friction guide was short and was only on the top with two screws only as shown

Here are the screws that were used ( these need refinishing) common to any of these years

The 1980 swingarm used a much longer chain friction guide that wrapped the swingarm top and bottom and fastened with four screws and washers ( two top/two bottom this picture also shows the stock Husky chain tensioner bushing in the cross tube. A bolt goes through this to hold the chain tensioner wheel. A better aftermarket option is to remove this bushing and replace it with a greasable zerk fitting as made by Uptite Racing in Santa Ana - please view last picture . George still makes these . Call him for pricing.

Greasable zerk pic

Hope this helps someone understand the different parts difference in swingarms . The 1980 was a very popular conversion for guys running the 78's and 79's.
