racing the 430 auto at Coyote Run 2015

This is footage from Coyote Run, Round 7 of the North Atlantic XC series. I rode the sight lap and noticed the water pump was leaking, so I ran back to the truck to see what I could do, got it to stop leaking but was late to the start..... racing starts at 2:17. Actually had a good ride but the bike is still a little fat off idle to 1/4 throttle.
Enjoy,

Be careful to be at low idle when engaging the Drive.
Too much big noise and you can break 1st spring clutch ( I think).
Nice when you pass the bikes in the mud.

I've seen that tritrophy was selling that gasket on eBay.
I put only some loctite gasket on mine.

Nice riding CTD! Trails looked great. Dave K, always puts on a good race up there.

Thanks Skoalman, the bike is sooooo much fun to ride! Yes, Dave sent someone from the start line to ask me if they should wait for me, I told them to go ahead and start because I wasn't sure if i could get the leak to stop....turns out I was able to, but not until they had already started. Dave and company run a great series and really cater to the riders to assure everyone has a good time, he even asked if I wanted to borrow a bike for Sunday's race! If any of you have thoughts about getting out and riding, I can tell you that the North Atlantic Cross Country Series is a great place to get back in the game! Newbies are welcome, bring that old bike out and have some fun!

When 1st clutch spring is broken , when you engage the drive, the motor stalls , stops.

that happened a couple of times, start, stalled when going into gear. I'll know tonight.

I think you are going pretty good. I think that guy you passed in the mud would have passed me.

Thanks Can, the 430 was hauling the mail, that's for sure!

Great video, the Auto is kinda like cheating isn't it. Oh yah, real men don't wear gloves.

CDT, no doubt about the North Atlantic Regional series. It's a great series with great & varied race terrain. Palito, I have to agree with you on this. Although, I don't have a Husqvarna Auto, I do have a Rokon Automatic and yep, it's a no brainer -- twist, go, brake, repeat. You're always in the right gear -- how cool is that!!??

Funny you mention that, I looked inside the trailer, then circled around the start area to find them where I took them off initially before I headed back to the truck... they were gone! I WAS IN A BIT OF A HURRY! Paying for it today though! LOL!

Great video
You were flying!
Gotta love the auto!

Missed you on Sunday! That am rain took care of the dust!!
Hope to see you at Candytown next Sunday.

And hope many more vintage bike riders can come out and enjoy the last 3 races of the 2015 NA XC series.

You must engage at low idle. A mechanic friend check
my carb to have a good idle. The gas level in the carb was too high.

Agreed, I need to re-balance the carb idle. I'm waiting for a 1st gear drum Woodruff key which should arrive in the next couple of days, then I'll put it all back together and get the idle situated. Nice looking bike Michel, I would love town a milk truck auto!
