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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Guys
I recently had to change my Mag from an aftermarket pipe (up the right and crossover) which isnt legal for vintage racing here in Australia, to a retro rocket pipe (up the left syle and legal).
The bike ran great before but I cant get the jetting anywhere near right now. If anyone else is running the mikuni carb and retro pipe I would really appreciate the settings you are using.
Thanks, Mike
 
Running a 38 Mikuni on mine, just ran it at the Ozzy titles last weekend.
Will check what i have in it

Thanks mate - I was there also and it nipped up on me again. If you could, could you let me know the needle and needle jet as well - TH writing has rubbed off from my needle but it is a big one.
cheers, Mike
