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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Who needs fuel injection when you can have a Thunder Products adjustable carb set up!

This is one of the best things that i have put on my no holds barred resto-mod project.

This thing is amazing and the performance gain for bang for the buck is mind blowing.

I thought that most of the gains would be at top end as this is like having a secound stage to your main jet.

The biggest benefit was felt in the low to mid as you are dropping your main jet 3-4 sizes (more the smaller your bore size is)and the top end is amazing as the 1/2 to full throttle is supplied with atomized fuel and air boost that will make your bike rev to the moon!

My Dyno was Pismo beach sand dunes, the only place you can ride a raging 430 CR like a 125 pro Moto guy.

Push down, EZ kick, when it starts if closes? Might have to do this to my 83 XC 500.

kick through 7 times to prime carb with comp. release depressed.

pull out comp. release and put piston at top dead center.
depress comp. release button and boot it.

My bike starts first or second kick cold and first kick hot.

These things were made for big bore bikes!

Racers machine in Escondido,Ca. did the work for me.
 
highdez: Im helping a friend trying to get his 1982 430XC running again, ( in storage for 15 yrs)... What oil do you recommend for the transmission, and also your recommendation for lubricating oil that is mixed with fuel,( type and mix ratio)?

Thanks ,

Walt

In the crank case i run walmart 30 wt. non detergent and change it after every ride. premix i love Blendzall 20 to 1 in the dunes and 40 to 1 play riding in the high desert and with my intelijet set up i can adjust jeting with the twist of the tank mounted knob to make up for the oil ratio differance, Blenzall runs a little dirty but the flashback aromatherapy is worth it.Hey there is a company out there that even makes Blenzall candles, try that for your next candle light dinner!
If this bike has been in storage that long i would do a leak down test to check out the integrity of the main seals as this will cause the bike to run lean and possibly seize.
