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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AA Class
Bike was running good bit hard to start
Checked timing done my head in removed checked stator (was lose) put back together how I found it
Kick it over still hard to start
Idled for a few seconds reved right up hit the throttle revs drop did this several times
Runs ok on the choke
 
You should double check the timing which could be the hard starting. Running on choke sounds like it's running lean. The gasket behind the crank seal flange was bad on my 430 and it started hard and ran lean. Wouldn't hurt to check that also.
 
Do a leak down test first. Check the seals, gaskets.

Next set the timing. Be sure the spark plug is clean. Good connection at the spark plug cap.

Clean the carb, adjust the float. Write down the pilot jet size, main jet size, needle jet. Make sure the needle and seat isn't leaking.

Balancing the pilot screw. It should be 1/2 to 1 1/2 turns from the bottom when it balances. I like it to be 3/4 to 1 1/4 turns when it balances. This gives you room to tweek it as a last setting if it needs it once the carb is set. The clip in the needle is another last minute final adjustment.
Let's us know how you make out.
 
check pilot circuit. choke on bypasses it. if clogged or too lean....wont idle or run right from bottom rpms
