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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cylinder removal.

I can't remove the cylinder from my '78 250 OR. I'm guessing that the gasket has become like an adhesive. Would brake cleaner or acetone dissolve it?
 
If the cylinder hasn't been off for a while chances are its rusted to the studs,break out the rubber mallet and proceed with caution on the fins.
 
Also be real carefull not to crack the bottom of the sleeve if you crack one of the thin bridges you can just cut them off mine cracked further up and I had to replace the sleeve good luck

I concurr with the stud holes being full of crud and rust. I'd just pulled mine and had some level of debris in them.
 
There can be a ton of dirt around those studs, and it's all gonna fall into the crank when you lift that cylinder. Then you've got the ugly job of flushing it out. Sounds crazy, but I just turn the whole bike upside down before I remove a cylinder.
