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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1972-75 engine, big bore 88mm?

Since you have a good one go with the Mikuni. If I'm not mistaken the 501 Maico of that era had a 38mm so I would think the 38mm Mikuni would be perfect. To large a carb and the air velocity is reduced possibly rendering the carb problematic.
 
Turns out the wrist /gudgeon pin is worn unevenly so will need changing. He found a new bearing for it but not the pin itself yet.

Any tips on what engines had the same 20mm size pin? It measured: Outer diam. is 19,92 mm, inner 13, length 70,75.
