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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking for some baseline carb settings for an 82 XC430... correct me if I'm wrong but stock was : MAIN=430 , PILOT=45 , NEEDLE 6DH3 in fourth position from top, SLIDE= 2.0 ,I CAN'T READ ANYTHING ON NEEDLE JET- some say the Q8 could be a left over from euro street specs, some say R4.
Some thoughts on Picklito suggestion from another post...Getting ready to order up new parts as needed to update; BASE: PILOT=45, MAIN 480, NEEDLE 6DH3 @ 3 POSITION, NEEDLE JET=R4, SLIDE=3.0If I can't find a 3.0 SLIDE but a 2.5 is available, then drop to a 40 PILOT.
As far as the air jet ,2.0 is standard but seems I read that some guys remove it to help starting.

THANX FOR ANY INPUT!

The 480+ mains I recommend were mainly for sea level desert. Still, I think the stock size was too small. Some had 430, some 440, not sure why. I like a 450-460 for woods riding at 2000 ft.

40
2.5-3.0 slide
R-4
6DH3-3
460
 
my 430: 2.0 slide, 50 pilot, 430 main, 1 turn on air screw
at 0 ft sea level
 
Found stock was lean. Due to changing elevations all the time, am trying a SmartCarb 2 on mine. Will be here in a few weeks and will let you know how it does, if anyone's interested.
