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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1979 Husqvarna 250 wr overhaul

I found the best way to get the kick start into the right position is to take the kick start shaft on the inside of the case and attach vice grips so you can turn the shaft. As you turn the shaft downward against the tension of the spring, you will notice the kick start gear begin to move toward the sproket shaft gear. This is where you will now re-install the kick start onto the splined shaft. Once you have the kick start on the shaft, you can test its operation to make sure in the "rest" position the kick start gear has not begun to move toward the sproket gear. If so, back the kick start one serration back and retry.
Also you mentioned cylindrical marks on the inside of the clutch cover. This is probably caused from using a silicone sealer rather than a gasket and the clutch bolts are rubbing the cover. Purchase a gasket to provide distance from the top of the bolts to the cover surface.
Hope this helps.
