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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PVL IGNITION ADVICE 500 LC

How is your 27 dollar ignition holding up? Just curious because I am looking to generate a hotter spark on my husky. It has spark, but I am having difficulty starting the WR 400.
 
try retarding the ign a tad, mine starts sweet as a button with the original motoplat but the timing is slightly retarded. i also give it a priming kick (slow) before getting back to the top of the swing.
 
I have it set to 2.0mm btdc per the 84 service letter. Do you think I should go back to the factory 2.6mm?

I ran mine at 1.9, unless you are contesting a world championship then there is no argument to leave it at stock settings
it's hard on the engine and kicker, puts a lot of stress on the piston and rod, that said it is a "bit" more fun
 
ol mates 400 was set to factory and was a tad sharper in the response (mine was tired) but all in all there was nothing in it in a straight line. it was harder to start and if flooded would need the pawl spring reset after 20 kicks. we sorted the fuel tap / needle and seat and there were no more dramas. we were aware it needed a good kick, no pussy footing about.
