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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here is something to think about ! Gas is worse than I thought !

You are correct that Sea Foam contains alcohol but it is not Ethanol but rather Isopropyl which has a larger molecule (Methanol is CH4O, Ethanol is C2H6O and Isopropyl alcohol is C3H8O) so it still serves as a good solvent but is less likely to permeate rubber and soft metals like aluminum. If it doesn't permeate them then it wont leach out any of the those elements that make all that nasty stuff in you're float bowl.
Seafoam works.

And people should avoid putting dihydrogen monoxide in the fuel. :D
 
Sta-bil also has isopropyl alcohol, it is used to absorb water and put it in suspension with the isopropyl molecule where it can be burned harmlessly.
 
Interesting little Husqvarna bit.
We [ me and a mate ] have been buying 86/87 WR400 heads out of USA to fit deco's to.
The USA heads have a lot higher comp ratio than the heads fitted to Australian bikes.
Maybe the fuel over there was a lot better than Aust fuel in those earlier days.:thinking:

Not sure about Texas but there are many places here that still sell non ethanol gas. Might search around. Also I would not leave any steel or aluminum tanked bikes without gas in them for any length of time.

I 'coat' the inside of my metal tanks with 2 cycle oil, I also use non ethanol gas. The ethanol was destroying the fiberglass on my Bultaco
