I picked up a 1979 Husqvarna 250wr dirk bike the other day, the price was right so I took the drive, well it looked real good and was dirt cheap. Its complete, no dents on the tank and for the most part looks like new. BUT the motor has a stiff clutch (I think I fixed that) and no compression. I pulled the head (this is a 2 stroke) it has no head gaskget????? is this correct???. I do see some scoring in the cylinder so I might just pull the jug to get a better look, but hte deeper you go the more it costs.
A bunch of typing to ask do these use a head gastget or did the old owner just forget to put one in??
