Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

Here's a couple more of my 1976 WR360. I also included some thumbnails of how I applied the logo to the back of the seat with vinyl spray paint. the trick is to apply the vinyl stencil, shoot it in black vinyl paint to seal the edges so you don't get bleed thru and then shoot it in white vinyl spray paint for a crisp logo.

1977 CR 250 First attempt of a Husky Restoration... Motor was fine, all restoration mainly cosmetic. Tank original (to my knowledge) and only has slight signs of wear due to knee rubs (liked keeping the original patina)

Nice job, looks really good.

PS: I love my 77

A video of my 87 Enduro on the street. Had fun this summer i put 800 miles on it putting around.
With a 400 motor, not a 250 as the bike says.

Looks like a lot of fun!
I think I might try lowering the needle a notch to cut down some of the four-stroking, but your not going to hurt it the way it's running now. A little rich is way better then a little lean.

 

[86 400 XC]

I agree Bud, its just a little here and there some times.
2 strokes on the street are not easy to keep at a happy RPM. I was short shifting and trying to keep a happy low rpm but it ends up going rich.
They need to rev and coast, not stay at 1 speed limit. Its been fun riding around for a hour or so once in a while.
I would never daily ride it to work, not meant for it.

id knock the needle down 1 clip and reduce your oil mix to 50:1 or less (using a high quality full synthetic like motorex) she will be smooooother in the mid and pull onto the band nicer. do sme plug chops in the midrange (1/2 throttle) to check the plug is not yellow

 

[86 400 XC]

I mix it 50:1 with Bel-Ray MC1. I will move the clip next time out and see if that helps. Thanks guys.

im out to 75:1 in the husky and its lean in the midrange a tad and its smoooooth riding. I get nervous flogging it in 6th gear and work to keep fuel in the engine during over runs

New purchase?

 

[oldbikedude]

500-430??

 

[stormer254]

Yes, new purchase all the way from the USA, she is a 420 Auto, fueled and oiled her up yesterday and she started 3rd kick I have never had a Husky start in 3 kicks from cold let alone one that has been stood for over 10 years

 

[Wildebeest90210]

Nice. Can I ask who from or did you import yourself? Going to ride or restore(and ride)?

 

[suprize]

You've never had one jetted right....

 

[stormer254]

I imported her mysef, I use AP Motorcycles up in Derbyshire, they are very good. She is going to be a new set of tyres and ride, there are people who can restore to a higher standard than I can even dream of so I leave the garage Queens to them. I just need an 18'' back wheel , I intend to put her on the road and tyres are easier.

Suprise you are probably right about the jetting but when the plug is a nice brown colour, she accelerates cleanly and ticks over okay it is hard to know where to go
