• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Okay, I give up. What are the black doohickeys and the chrome-ring thingy.

That piston looks trick. Did you get two of them? :D

The two black things are the high tension pickups out to the spark plugs The round doohickey is the cam advance You have to manually advance and retard the engine and that's how you do it You rotate that left or right 33°
 
You got the new Pistons but I'm a little puzzled by why the pin is so short The wrist pen only goes into the piston on either side a little over an eighth of an inch I don't understand what that's about I'll have to talk to The Piston guys Monday
 
It is great to see that our swedish oldtimers get running again @DeathFromAbove, also abroad! It would be cool to meet one at the roads when visiting the U.S. :) Nice that you found new pistons! It is originally aluminum pistons in the 200 model (but not in the 180 which had cast iron pistons).
 
Thanks Bjorn,
I am very happy you found ME!!!
The Parts Book shows the proper pieces and not the drilled and tapped (locking pins) to keep thing from spinning. I think those pieces should be a tight interference fit .
Thank You SO MUCH!!!
I am working on the translastion of the latest pages.!!
I will send pics of the Horn that came on This Bike!
