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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello Husky mentors :notworthy: lol.
Getting around to getting this 430 running. I bought it in a compulsive moment on ebay a couple years ago and was so disappointed when it arrived that in the shed it went. It came with a new piston, so I had the jug bored and had the black painted blasted, of the jug and head, with baking soda, as the '82 came ah natural. Ordered new reed pedals from mossbarger as this unit came with the MB reed valve. and waiting on the base and carb gasket, small end rod bearing to get here in the mail.
I spoke to a mechanic, who had worked on the bike (rebuilt the ohlins rear shocks) the year that I bought it and he said the carb was worn out (slide cylinder?) so I got ahold of a low mileage replacement carb from an '82 500. I read a thread in here already (thanks google) about jetting the 38 mm mikuni. Great info posted there. So in the next week or so, I'll be humbly asking for some advice and guidance to get this wonderful bike snorting again. Thanks in advance.

Mostly hair scrambles down here. Too be honest, I'm fixing it up to sell it, unless it hooks me on the first or second ride. If it wheelies in every gear, I might have to keep it. :thumbsup:
 
Where did you find the link to jetting the 38 mm Mikuni?

I have been fighting the jetting on my 430 for months!

Thanks,
Jerry
