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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HPI ignition for 76 250WR

Hi all Cafe members, great to see the Cafe alive and seemingly well, I thought it was gone for good!

A friend has a 76 250WR which he wants to fit a hpi ignition, not listed on their site, has anyone here done it?

I know there are other brands, PVL, Vape, Electrex etc.
 
I don't have any experience with the application but the HPI site shows a unit for a 78 250WR and the Husky parts list shows the same right stub-shaft part number both the 76 and 78 250WR, but the part lists have been known to be wrong. Maybe someone familiar with both the 76 and 78 250WR will chime in.
 
Tony, the part numbers for the 78 crank stub in the Husky book are wrong. The only difference is the position of the keyway for the flywheel. If there is no keyway on the HPi ignition then it's not going to be an issue.
The part number in the book will result in a stub with the two keyways at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The correct one for the 78 will have the keys at 11 o'clock and 6 o'clock. It doesn't bother me now as I have a Power Dynamo system. There is a post somewhere on here from me when I was trying to sort it out.
