Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I've only been getting partial spark and only to one cylinder.
I need a set of these leadouts and the connectors that match.

So I have been trying to get parts from Europe for this Apparently RARE Dyno/Magneto And have found parts in Germany but they will not ship to the USA. So I find a guy in the Netherlands that has a single fire unit that can be changed to double fire and he is working on it . Gave him the name of the guy in Germany and asked if he would buy the parts and forward them to me. Still working on it. So I take My Dyno/Magneto to the Amish guy in PA He did the Dyno/Magneto for the recent Husqvarna 180 that was sold at Mecum Auction. And His lead time is Febuary. But I left it with him to fix and all other thing pan out its only money. In the meantime I ordered the new Ignition for The KZ1000Turbo and got a second set of single 3ohm coils for the Husqvarna. I was Able to Resurrect the Ignition Pickups from the Fire and get them working so I will take a chance and see if I can make the 1928 Husqvarna electronic ignition. I think I have a pretty good chance of it working. So I am Attacking the ignition problem from three sides. In the meantime My Pistons are being Made and I have to finish the engine disassembly for patterning for the wax molding 3dPrinting. While that is afoot I'll Make New Valve Guides and Work on the valves and seats.

So I got the cases apart and the crankshaft out lots of fubar in here
I guess the first is
Intake cam collar bushing upside down
All three cam bosses have been ground down who knows why
Drive side bearing external collar stripped on the case The collar is not stripped doh
Right side bushing shimmed and split instead of making a new bushing they must have been working in the middle of the Alps or something
Intake and exhaust shoes for valves are okay but their guides are worn and damaged and shimmed
Nice
Right side bearing / bushing oiling hole gallery plug not removable until I welded it.
Not to mention all the junk on the top end Pistons Guides valves oi!

Its interesting to read your posts and consider this bikes history and all of the knot heads that must have worked on it over the past 100 years. Very entertaining and also an excellent lesson for the rest of us on being aware when purchasing a used vintage bike of how other people view the meaning of the word "mechanic".

Yeah i figured it would be a project
But having all the Correct parts goes a long way
Until you start diving in
I think i bounced my head off the bottom
But i when i saw it i knew i would be in for the long haul problems included

Warming up the cases to take the bushings and bearings out of so that they could be sandblasted with walnut shells. And get them to my 3D printer guy. I also had to rebuild the blasting cabinet, with a LED light but I can't find the new gloves, so they must be in storage. I'll have to go find those. I was able to get all the bushings out, unfortunately I had to run up to over 400° to get them to budge but because these are old aluminum castings, I'm assuming straight aluminum It shouldn't be a big deal. Next I'm taking them to my welder and I'll have him weld up everything that is wrong with them. Where they were ground down even the stop screws so they couldn't be taken out UHGG and other stuff. I'll have him do a test weld inside the covers and make sure all is well with the metallurgy, then get this thing back to original. Even if the numbers are wrong. With the 3D printer, I'm going to have two more sets of these made so that I can stamp my original frame number matching engine number on them and I'll have one naked set that if somebody wants to buy can pay for my whole shebang! If they want them that bad! That's it for today Oh I get to go on the roof at my ex-boss's place and fix a leak! Wonderful, not bad for a Sunday!
