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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hay guys had a few questions but I thought I would Start out one at a time. I moved from California to Utah And Ive been restoring my dads bike which is a 87 Husky 430. Long story short I need to re-jet. I was living at 2880 elevation and I went to 4350 elevation out here in Utah. I was told I will need to change Pilot and main jet and maybe drop the jet a little. Need help with finding the right one that will do the trick. http://www.dcvmx.com sells Mikuni parts for the carb but if anyone has suggestions on what I need please Help.

Thanks a ton, I love Glen Helen Been about 4 years since Ive been back. Race Adalanto Grand Prixx for many years but i heard they stopped doing it. But again thnx for the welcome.
 
.......................there's no quick fix to jetting, to many variables.

Drop the bottom of your carb and see what size main and pilot your running, go to the bike shop and get the next 3 sizes down (smaller) on your mains and one size on your pilot ( if your on # 360 for example get a #350 # 340 # 330) it should cost you around $15 or so.

Give this site a read, its not for huskys but its very informative. Theres no great secret to jetting, it just takes time and patience. lf you get stuck someone on here will help.
