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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

be carefull with the plug color as crappy fuels make them burn black a fair bit anyway. always best to jet the main up till it blubbers then come back till its clean

hmmm, well i cant say since my 88 250 runs stock jetting..but if you are still using the stock carb and stock needle jet, you can use this chart to see the available sizes. you will need the "p" style..if the bike runs well now, the next size will put the clip back to the middle. then you will be back to having some tuneability

So i am still trying to sort this out still. So i pulled the needle jet out, i had a Q6 in this carb.
Had to order a P and a O6, i tried both with the clip back in the middle and the bike dies from a lack of fuel. Starts and revs ok but when you let out the clutch i get 20 feet and bike wants to die.

Thoughts???
 
are you getting full fuel flow to the carb? tank vent isnt a home for a spider? havent knocked the float level?? it sounds lean as...try with the choke, if its ok till you flick it off then youve gone too far? leaning out. BE CAREFULL! seizure country
 
Good fuel flow and reset the float level both ways for a try, ended up setting the float back to normal.

I did some reading on various sites.
I went back out to the shop and pulled it apart 1 more.
I had to raise the pilot jet from 35 to 45 to fatten up the 0 to 1/4 fueling.
I put the P6 back in and raised the needle, clip in bottom slot. Took the Q6 out again. (had it in again for a test) Perhaps the Q is right but worn badly?
Went for a spin, wow its working awesome. Got a nice tan on the porcelain and a brown strap.
Was a new plug, not black or white any where so i must be some what in the zone.
