    I know this is a very long shot... but I need a kickstart knuckle or complete with lever for my 1979 390. The splines are v badly damaged no matter how hard its tightend it still slips, I`v since fitted decompression valve ,but the damaged has already been done. Can anyone help and willing to post to UK??
    Thanks all !

    Have you asked Andy at HVA Factory ? I know he deals with the later Husky's but he may have or know where to find one.
    Or you can try Jef Bens in Belgium (jefbens@skynet.be). Jef tends to keep all the older spares. MM frame and earlier.
    If you send Jef an email, it will probably take him a few days to get back to you. He does not use paypal or credit cards for payment. It is bank transfer only.

    Check the splined shaft too. If the lever has been slipping it may have worn the shaft. In which case you could be throwing good money at bad !

    If you can give Jef the part numbers, that will help.

    I contacted Jef Bens two weeks ago about a kickstart for my 79 WR390 , he has only got the knuckle part for 60 euros,which is a shame as I have the knuckle it's the lever I need :cry:
