1978 390 Auto build

I have had a main shaft built up with weld and machined, if you are in the USA and do a search on here there is a chap who does it.

the main transmission shaft and the engagement gear

I was hoping to find new parts, I guess its not an option, I am in Canada I been looking around here but nothing so far

and also what kind of transmission oil would b ideal for the auto I been using bel ray gear saver 80-90

um yeah nah dont do that .

That's what your motor need !

The 80/90 is waay to thick. The HVI26 is almost like water, looks like used water and smells like .....
It is no more expensive to buy than a good quality engine oil for a modern road bike. Just that you have to buy it in 20 litre drums.

where I can buy this and thanks for you help !

Well ....... what can I say ! !

Fantastic! Nice job!
Good Husky sound affects!

The Church bell says it is 4 o'clock !

man that thing sounds gooood was that really the 1st attempt that was crazy guess all i heard about those Electrexs must be spot on mine should be hear today or Monday now can you fix that headlight [real dim at low speed] dang i got a bit of a chubby bet that bike will be a hoot it

Not sure why it is so dim ? The reflector may not help. The reflective chrome fell off, so I painted it silver. I will put one of the other ones on to see if it is any better. The only issue I had was after starting it (yes, it really did go first time) the petcock didn't seem to flow any fuel. Ran it up again, and it used it's float bowl full and stopped. No fuel coming from the tap in either on or reserve. It did eventually flow enough to run it again. I will investigate over the weekend.

Yes Michel, 4 o'clock, and yes, I did bunk off work early as it is "Poets" day.

That is awesome, I raced a 78 Auto a couple times in the early 80's. The only issues we had over time were the clutches, Eric's in Southern California was our go to guy for this bike and always helped us. Good job on the rebuild.

Great job....thanks for the video.

love the sound ! can't wait to get my ready, good job on the husky looks good and also thanks for all the info to get parts for my husky

can I use univis n 32 unsated of univis hvi 26 for the auto

I do not know the definitive answer. But going with Husqvarna logic, I would say no. Their R&D department recommended it for a reason, the Swedish military still use it, so there has to be a reason.
Parts for the gearbox are getting expensive and hard to find, so if it were me I would stick with the Univis HVI26.

On the up side, mine is booked in for it's MOT (British ministry of transport road worthiness test) on Saturday. This is a pre-cursor to having it road registered here in the UK.

Todays down side .... I fitted two titanium engine mounting bolts this evening .... and managed to snap one Trying to get them tight enough is a pain. I may just stick with steel or stainless.

The first test is looming on the 15th March. We have an enduro practice day. What can go wrong ......
