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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

390 Cr Kickstart Ratchet Noise

Fresh engine build on My 78 390 cr ,checking flywheel torque after break n run with plug out, turning over with flywheel I am hearing the kickstart ratchet klicking. I cannot remember if this is normal or I need to pull the clutch cover back off.Everything works well except for that klicking. Thanks for any help in advance.
 
The 2 sprockets with the teeth must be too close.
There is perhaps an adjustment to be made with the stroke and the positioning of the kick on the axis.
 
If the kick start is on the wrong spline it holds the shaft rotated far enough back that the guide plate doesnt hold the ratchet fully dis engaged
