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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Coil differences...

I replaced the cap on my original coil that had a so so spark and now you can actually hear the snap of the spark.
The web site of Vance Smith in Michigan (USA) says to open a plug gap up to 3X the normal gap and if the spark jumps that gap all is well. My bike now has a spark that jumps about a .25 inch gap and I can actually hear the spark. I think I am good on the spark from the Motpoplat at this point!
 
I am still scratching my head on the issue I had with the spare coil that belongs to my buddy as to why I could get readings with the cap and coil individually but not together. The new cap solved the issue but still leaves me wondering. I am thinking there was a broken connection inside of the cap that reconnected with the cap removed from the wire and then disconnected when screwed into the wire.
 
FYI These are the caps I am using...
