Husky Machine shop

Hey guys,
I have a crank that needs a new rod and lower bearing, and balanced, and a cyl that needs to be either honed, or bored. I haven't taken dimensions yet. Does anybody know a Husky guy I can send off to for machine work? Talked to a fellow Husky friend, and was told to make sure someone who is experienced in Huskys' to do it. It is for my 84 WR 400 L/C. Also, where to get a piston kit in the U.S.? HVA is in U.K. I believe? If anyone has an idea, please let me know. I will post pics of the project as it comes along.
Thanks again, Y'all!

do you have any of the replacement par

Hey Joe,
I have my old crank and another crank I bought. Has a good lower bearing, pin and rod.

Husqvarna-Parts.com is the first place I would look for for the Parts. Crank Works in Arizona can install the Rod and Balance it. A local automotive Machine shop can do the Cylinder, if not send it to NW Sleeve in Portland Oregon. The Husqvarna Engine designs need some know how to disassemble and reassemble. But the Rod replacement is pretty straightforward along with the Bore and Hone on the Cylinder.

I had an issue when I took my 86 400WR cylinder to the local auto machine shop. It was not located correctly as I found a new blemish on the reed cavity. It had to go another size up. My next bore went to the kawasaki shop when I had my KX250 cylinder bored. About $40 more than the local shop but a much higher level of trust.

I sent my Husky crankshaft to John at Vintage Husky but I think you would be fine with any shop whos business includes vintage motorcycle crankshafts, and I mean someone who does vintage stuff on a regular basis. Also, there are posts on this site from a few who mention where they have had crankshaft work done. You may want to do a search.

Talk to Vance at Q&E machine in Anaheim, California. He specializes in two strokes. He can rebuilt your crank like he did my 1972 Husqvarna CR 450. He has all of the tooling to do it right the first time.

I do not think they balance this type of crankshaft. At least not in the sense of aiming at some balance factor. The 400 and 430 have the same crankshaft but the piston is certainly lighter. It seems to still be the same way with modern 250 and 300 two strokes. Getting it true, so there is hardly any run out at the crank ends is probably what is to hope is done well.

I got a Woosner 430 piston direct from Woosner USA and think I have put up a link to them in years prior. As for a 400 piston not sure if you do find a source I would be curious as I have a cylinder that could use the one mm over size one.
