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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

510 stator question

Why did Husqvarna use 2 stator leads (yellow wire) in the 1986 510 TE/TX model? It's a 70+70W system.

Anyone know how to connect them together for a single 140W output?
 
Just put them together and test it some were wound in phase and you could do this, and some were not. If so you have 12v 140w if not then have 2 12v 70w power source. Later George

George- Thanks for the input.
Forgive my inept knowledge on electrical systems. Is it as simple as that?
Splice the two yellows together and test? Check with a multimeter I presume. What am I looking for in the test?
 
HWY,
Maybe this will help...

I have the same ignition, two stroke version, on my 83 WR250. I was told to do just what George says to do. I tested voltage between yellow and ground/frame.

Each yellow put out about 20vAC and when connected together it was 25vAC. I ran the "combined yellow" to my voltage regulator, then powered everything off that.

Actually, since mine's street legal, I then rectified it to DC so I could use/charge a battery and meet California's "lights on with engine off" rule. But if you're just setting up for off road and just want headlight/taillight when running you can keep it AC and wire straight off the voltage regulator. Happy to help more if needed.
