• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Mounting on ML frames

i installed a new plug cap on a WR250 with Femsa ignition. I trimmed the plug wire a 1/4" when i installed it and now the wire is a little tighter than i feel is comfortable. Instead of rigging up some new plug wire i was wondering about the positioning of the coil on the frame. I noticed there were three holes on the frame for the coil mounting. All the bikes i have had the coil was mounted on the forward two holes. I was wondering if anyone has mounted using the rear two holes, i am thinking it will give me enough wiggle room with the plug wire if i move the coil to the rear two holes. Figured i would ask everyone before i drained the tank just to find out the femsa coil can't mount on the rear two holes.

Thanks,
Marc

Seems simple enough to try. Of course, make sure that the high tension wire (spark plug wire) doesn't rub on the frame tube above. Also, many of the coils (not Motoplat, unfortunately) have wires that just unscrew from the coil. If your Femsa does, then go ahead and cut a new wire from any correct O.D. spark plug wire. I hope I wasn't "Captain Obvious."
