VForce Reed Block DT360 was created by 45chop

I saw this on the internet so thought I’d give it a try.

I'd be into that. Looks RT not DT360A as has 4 head studs I can see. 360A has a bigger reed block but they'll be available for those I'm sure. RT is same size as early YZ80 about "80 model or maybe "79 to just cross reference when looking.

You are correct it is an RT3, the Vforce4 block model number is V4R01H listed for a Husqvarna WR125 1996 - 2013 

I keep mistakenly calling it a DT 360 because here in the UK people rarely know what an RT3 is.

The 1973 360 model in Europe was actually named the "DT360" and from the brochure pictures I've seen had the same paint scheme as the US RT3. 

From what a UK member said years ago, the Euro 1973 DT360 was never officially imported into the UK. 

But yes, best to call even a bona fide European model an RT3 to avoid confusion with the far more common and nearly completely redesigned 1974 DT360A sold in the US.

I didn't see the 1973 DT360 European brochure in the Tech Library here...  but the model code "407" can be found in the model code lists.

Power jet Nibbi Carb. Gotta get me one of those. Don't mention where it's made or you'll turn the post into like an oil thread--or maybe its only me thats had an ok run so far--not bought a Nibbi yet though. Looks the part i must say. Did that come with a range of jets.
So you have Vforce reeds fitted? or not yet.

Yes, reeds fitted, Carb only came with two extra jets so I’ll probably need to get some more unless I get lucky. I’d post some more videos but seems to be YouTube problems at the moment.
