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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Were you able to fix your expansion chamber or did you find a replacement. I know it is difficult to find one because it took me 4 years to find one myself. That chamber is a one year only deal as the 82 chamber is just enough different to be annoying.
 
Yup I got lucky, One of my buddies had one sitting behind his oil tank for about 25 years and dug it out for me.

Nice!
The petcock is a stock Husky item. they threaded it into the tank and then used a lock nut on the thread to hold it in place.
 
thanks, one of my very talented vintage buddies, offered to restore them for me and he went over and above what I could have ever done.
