I had raced some of these back in the day and the hot tip to get them pulling of the bottom was to file more cut-away into the back of slide ( just 1mm at a time )

That jetting would be a starting point only Col.


Mate is running a 430 main in his 84/ 240 Wr.

Cheers Mike.

Hey Mike,

Tom Hatrick of Mikunioz sent down these spec :
I gather this is a 2 stroke in which case I'd expect the VM38 to run (1982 spec) with a 45 pilot, 6DH3, R4 and a 450 main.

I am getting the carby sorted out by someone in the know and that has heaps of Husqvarna knowlage.

Thanks for the feedback will let you know when I get it running right?

Cheers
Col
