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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

There are three different sizes on ratchet gears for the kick starter. Each size engine has a different diameter gear. The position of the upward motion stop determines how far the driver and driven engagement teeth are apart. There needs to be a space between these two gears. If the space is too big we get less kick starter movement. If there is no space these gears will violently ratchet when the engine is running. It will destroy the gears. I have seen this with the used engines and assorted used parts. The position of the kick starter determines this gap when the kick starter is against the up stop. I like to set it as close as possible on this air gap between these two gears so they can't bang into each other. Make sure it's set correctly. Enjoy the ride for many years.
