• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 WR250 the beginning

Not Sure why your case was missing the cable anchor but why not weld a blob and form it?
Now I gotta read the whole thread Dang!!:lol:
This was my 73 250WR.
I didn't see why you were missing the cable anchor point?

Here's where I stared. I wish I had welding skills, but sadly I'm a retired accountant. I've yet to find a good small job welder here in So. Oregon. Chris, you and Crash are the primary reason I post here as both of you have a great knowledge on these old things! Thanks to both of you for your continued contributions!

Daryn' got the Knowledge I just do what i feel.
I saw that pic and didn't realise it was your engine case.
I'm sorry you had to go the adaptive rout as I could send you a decent case with the anchor intact.
Is the motor Built?
If not PM me and get me your address
I can send a case half to you for shipping and you send me yours.
I can do Either.
Send a good case half or get your BUNG Welded and formed.

Based on Ebay pics the Seadoo studs have a total of about 40 threads and the 400 Husky studs has about 23 total. Just cut some threads off each end and if they're still a little over 165mm I promise not to tell. :rolleyes:

DFA, and Crash, I also enjoy reading of your knowledge and experience on these older bikes. :) Thank you for all your posts.
 
I dug out some old cyl studs and my 400's are 178mm long. The 165mm length mentioned is probably for the 250. You're welcome to the 400 studs I have but they are badly pitted.

Apology! You're correct in that I was searching mistakenly on the 250 part number vs the correct #16 10 895-01. Thanks for the offer; however, I also have some pitted studs (at least 3 of them :( ).

PM me your address and I'll send you the best one I have, no charge. Give me a couple of hours first and I'll send you a pic to be sure its something you can use.

Heres a look at a set of slightly damaged but usable studs. I'll send all four.
