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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pulling flywheel

My 86 400 XC seized on me the other day and was surprised to find a perfectly good top end was not the culprit. Assuming I had an issue with the crank or transmission I took the engine out of the frame and began to take a look around the bottom end. As soon as I pulled the flywheel cover I saw that one of the bolts behind the flywheel had worked itself loose (all three had to some extent) to the point that it was catching the flywheel as it rotated, bringing the stroke to a standstill. I tightened the bolt and the the engine now moves freely through its stroke.

I would like to take the flywheel off to make sure I can tighten the bolts appropriately and was wondering what the best method is other than that handy tool the manual tells you to use. I do not have easy access to compressed air.

Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Buy the correct puller for the job. They are cheap. Cheaper than damaging your flywheel or crank's threaded end and then having to replace the crank or fly wheel due to damaging it.

I had the same thing happen on a 360 standard shift. Took the engine out only to find a I guess you call it a cap screw had come out to the point of damaging the rotor.
