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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just a little 240v makita die grinder (and a good selection of needle files). Brand new bit, knife through butter. I reckon I might get 10% or more on inlet flow quite easy.

Might have to get one of those to smooth out the flow path on the barrel where the line is a bit too long...
 
Next is the transfer ports. I reckon its a one size fits all on the crankcases originally from Husky so I reckon they went large on the case casting and then used it for all. I have marked up with some short studs to locate. Bring on the grinder !

A while really. Should pull the crank and cases together this weekend but thats if the dummy case build goes ok. The devil is in the detail. When the pipe is fitted up and goes off for ceramic coating I'll know I'm near. Softly softly catchee monkey...
 
Made up a new crank spacer,did a dummy build then pulled the crank in the ignition first as opposed to manual instructions and then pulled everything together with washers. No probs.
I did ignition side first as I got the spacer to .01mm from my measurements so wanted it to pull up hard against that to make sure I got the crank bang on centre.
