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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My Cat Says AREAR!
Hi and Merry Christmas All of you!!
I am rebuilding another 1972 450, this one is a WR. I have replace the points and condenser and the Secondary coil. On the primary coil one side goes to the points and is tied to the condenser and has a black wire to the secondary coil, the other side of the primary coil has a green wire that should go to ground, I have done that at the Secondary coil. I Am getting a Crappy Spark! So I removed the green wire from the secondary coil mounting bolt and put a jumper from the engine block to the secondary coil mounting bolt and am getting a Great Spark!! I have cleaned all the mounting points for the engine and frame, Same thing happens. I switched the ignition with another, Same Problem, Same Solution. I will Take some Video so you can see what I am talking about. Here's some pics

So I was wondering why a green wire is soldered to the tail of the primary ignition coil. Has anyone seen this before? I have 2 like this. I ended up just trimming and heat shrinking it so it would not touch anywhere. The ignition works well and the bike runs well.. Here's some pics
