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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How to clear gas from crankcase on 1972 125 after float stuck.
Won’t start and has coming out of exhaust.
 
Plug out. Exhaust off. Tank off and turn it upside down. Like you used to with your push bike when you were a kid.
 
Make sure the spark plug is well clear, I set fire to my 420 auto clearing a flooded crankcase, fortunately I had a co2 extinguisher to hand and the only damage sustained was my fringe
 
I actually came up with my own method today and it worked perfect. Take an air hose , pull the carburetor ,wrap a rag around the end of the air hose , stick it in the intake , Put the piston at top dead center,and shoot the Air in. The Spray will come right out onto the rag

I'd check the gearbox for the smell of gas just to make sure none got by the crank seal, especially after the introducing air pressure. Same goes for the ignition side, would be a bummer to have the ignition cover explode. Also, check the over flow tube in the carb, something plugged it that caused the crank case to have so much fuel in it to begin with.
 
In this case the float stuck. Not the best design where the intake is angle up.
With piston up at TDC , and carb off , it wasn’t nt a pressurized situation. More of blow out.
But I hear you
