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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How about performance reeds?

The reeds in the mossbarger block are a different size than the stock husky reed block . I'm not sure if they make reeds to fit the husky reed block . I tried the heavy/ stiff mossbarger reeds for thier block as what I had weren't closing completely . I could be wrong but didn't seem to as strong down low . Match up some boyesen reeds and have been using those in the mossbarger since . They didn't have the soft/thin reeds at that time so not sure how they would have worked . Maybe someone else have tried both to compare .
 
A lighter reed will be better for low-mid range power at the expense of top end power, while a stiffer reed will be better mid-top at the expense of some low.

Do you think a mix of thinner and thicker reeds would give the engine a mix of both worlds bottom to mid and mid to top?
That would be 4 thinner and 4 thicker reeds. Early husky 250/360/390/430?

Flow will follow the path of least resistance so if one half of a reed has lighter petals than the other, the heavier side will not open enough or at all. That is why the Boyesen reedes are stacked, the outer lighter petal opens first, then when vacuum is high enough the heavier inner petal opens.
