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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just obtained an owner's manual for my 1980 Husqvarna 250WR. Just removed and cleaned carburetor and replaced the float needle. Ready to go back on but need to check the float level. The diagram and instructions in my manual say to turn carburetor upside down, move the float lever with your finger and when it is 17-19mm from carburetor flange the needle should just close the valve. So I should move the float arm down until the little tab presses down on the float needle and closes the valve completely then check that distance is 17-19mm from carb flange. Or check when tab on float arm is just making contact with the needle? Thanks

i recently had to adjust mine, it was leaking gas, so i adjusted it for 18 mm and the float needle valve is closed completely. this seems to have worked.
